- Windscreen4less Artificial Expandable Ivy Leaf Faux Leaves Privacy Fence Screen for Outdoor Indoor Backyard Patio Balcony (Single Sided Leaves, 1 Pack)

I'm in love. Really. I absolutely HATED the view beyond my picket fence. There was an unsightly, muddy, gravel road behind the fence and in bad weather it's just a slushy, disgusting mess. I wanted to block the view of the road but didn't want a privacy fence either. I bought this because the reviews were really favorable and I was not let down. Here's why: 1. If you spend a little more and get the double sided, you can expand it to total length and not lose the privacy effect. Mine are stretched out to full length and it still has full coverage of ivy. 2. I dont care what anyone says, it does not look super fake at all. Once it went up, it literally looks like we spent years growing greenery on our natural lattice. NO ONE knew it was fake and we got a ridiculous amount of compliments on it. 3. It totally transforms our yard. We dont have the best lawn. Rocky soil makes it difficult. The added greenery along the fence line takes your away away from the patchy lawn. I feel so much better about my lawn now. 4. You really can use this in so many ways. It is expandable by height and length. I bought 7 of them to line my yard, but I want more so I can skirt the deck. I hate traditional lattice and I think this would look great there.

Looooove! This stuff is great. I had to cut it to size but it worked so well! The double sided is great so I’m not causing and eyesore for my complex. It gives some privacy and chihuahua proofs my porch while looking super super cute and cozy! The smell was insane and very strong but it’s aired out.

Purchased screens for my 2 back yard iron walk through gates, hoping they might block the street view enough to keep my small dogs from barking at everything and everyone. The screens arrived as promised, expanded easily, and I was able to attach one to each gate with zip ties. Foliage is green enough. Hopefully it doesn't fade too quickly in our New Mexico sun. Once expanded, even the small distance to cover a walkthrough gate, dogs are still able to peer through so it is not a true privacy screen. If you want complete privacy, you will need to purchase enough to keep them closed. That being said, screens appear to be sturdy enough and withheld a couple of very strong windstorms. Leaves did not blow off and screen did not break. Appearance wise, they look fine. Did not take away from the aesthetics of my home.

Well made. Leaves look real. Expands nicely.

I bought 3 of these after a long session of measuring and calculating in order to get it perfect. Long side of my balcony is about 155" and the shorter part is somewhere around 55". That second number could be made up; I don't remember. But anyway I love this. I saw several different kinds of privacy screens like this on Amazon and other places. And trust me, I did my research before I spent over $150 on these. Nothing really compares to this. If you don't understand the mechanics of it, the wider you pull it, the more see-through it becomes. It works a bit like an accordion. So obviously if it's still pretty close together, the leaves appear more dense. It may or may not be clear in my photos, but it's definitely not 100% covered (I don't mind; it's just right for me). The 3 of these are absolutely perfect for my balcony. It's exactly what I needed and exactly what I was looking for. When people walk it's pretty easy for them to see when we sit on our balcony, or even through our sliding glass door, but now it's the perfect barrier. Apart from the aesthetic aspect of this, we really needed something that would block our cat from going through the railing. However, he does like to jump on top or over things, so we've managed other solutions for that. Also, it's a nice backdrop for when I take pictures of my chonky boi. The only downside is that they don't really provide anything to attach this to the railing, but luckily I have a lot of different materials from making jewelry, so I just used some of my wire and wrapped pieces tightly on the corners. You can use zip ties, ribbons, rope; whatever you have at home - or you might just have to buy something. Anyway this is definitely a 10/10 and I will be more than happy to use this when we move out of our apartment, and buy more if necessary!

Not a great deal more to say, except that this is a fabulous alternative to slats in chain link fences and/or waiting for natural trees to mature. Problem area is small, covered patio on NE corner of house. Raging winter winds carry down from the Fraser Valley in Canada; some gusts between 60 and 75 mph. This last winter also included blizzard snows with those winds. Had 'some' faux ivy woven in and out of added trellis structures. Not nearly enough buffer. Have now supplemented with several of these panels, zip-tied to the trellises and lower railings . .. hoping they will withstand winter gale force winds and snows! These ivy panels have created quite a dense enclosure, which also affords wonderful privacy, after the fact . .. VERY pleased with the quality, flexibility of extension, structure and ease of installation ~~!!

I bought 4 of these to try them out. The leaf coverage is vastly varying between the different panels. On a couple of them, they are very sparse. Then a couple of them the leaves are much more filled in. I know it would be a pain to send these back, so I'm making it work and filling in the gaps with other various fake vines and plants to make them look a little more natural. That being said, these are at least an easy and somewhat affordable option for covering up an ugly fence. In my case, I'm covering up a chain-link fence with ugly metal slats. Do these look like real vines? Absolutely not. But from far away they are at least much better than what was there and cheaper than just building a new fence. These are easy to install. They don't include any zip ties, so make sure you have some of those on hand. I probably used about 9 zipties for each of these. They seem pretty secure. Not sure how they will hold up long term. Will update this over time if I notice any issues from sun/wind/snow/etc. I ended up buying some other fake vines/plants to help make these look a little more natural. As is, they definitely don't look as full as the pictures in the listing showed. But I will buy more to finish covering the whole fence since this is at least a better look than what I had going on previously.

Holds up very well in the Vegas heat! I ordered 2 and wanted to test them out for at least a couple of weeks before I wrote a review (just because of our heat index here). We've had temperatures between 110-115 for a while, strong winds, and it even rained really hard once, but these screens haven't changed colors or warped yet! They provide great privacy and plenty of shade as well, I'd say around 90% coverage. We live in Las Vegas and when I say these provide great shade and hold up in this toaster oven heat, they do! Only 2 leaves fell off, but we cannot tell where they came from because of leaf coverage. I plan to order at least 5 more when they become available again! They look great on our deck. I've had so many compliments on these screens as well. They don't look 100% real, but when they're outdoors next to real plants and nice decor, they look awesome. So if you order these screens, consider adding a few real plants around it, a nice seating area and such. ***I will update this review with photos once I find out how I can order more.*** Cons: They smelled weird when we first took them out of the package, but the smell only lasted 2 days because they aired out outside.

The screen arrived on time. The leaves were not quite as realistic as I would have liked. However it gave The impression of a hedge on the balcony. Everyone was wowed and we got many compliments and requests for wher to obtain them. Of note they were quite stinky on opening the box but this faded over the week
