Review on Protect Your Balcony Privacy With DearHouse 3.5Ft X16.5Ft Balcony Screen Cover + 35 Pc Cable Ties by Travis Rio

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too sheer for my needs

For context: I live in a ground floor apartment next to a busy road and I didn't like that people walking/driving by could see inside my apartment via my patio, so I wanted something to cover the gap between my patio railing and the ceiling. I also wanted to use the patio as a workshop, but we get a lot of rain here so I needed something at least weather-resistant.I attached eye hooks to the ceiling and use zipties to connect the hooks to the screen's grommets, and cup hooks on the bottom side (so I can detach it and roll it up in nice weather). Installation wasn't hard, and it does a pretty good job at keeping the rain out. I can now stand on my patio when it's raining and not get wet, which is pretty nice.However, this doesn't give us as much privacy as we were hoping. During the day, you can't see a thing and it works great. But at night, you can easily see everything through it because the light from our apartment is shining behind it.Overall it mostly meets our needs, but we'll be buying a second one to layer over the first. But if you're just buying this to go behind a railing, it'll probably do the job just fine.
