What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing describes protection from light wind and water-repellent fabric, not a guarantee for severe weather or waterproofing. It also gives dimensions both as 300 x 160 cm and as 0.09D x 3W x 1.6H metres, and names powder-coated steel for the housing and support post while the material field also lists powder-coated aluminium and ABS plastic. These material details are inconsistent, so confirm the intended installation surface and materials in the selected listing.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Balcony, patio or garden users seeking a retractable privacy screen and shade from low-angle sun.
Buyers able to wall-mount the housing and anchor the support post to the ground.

Less suited to

Those needing a freestanding screen, overhead shade, or stated protection from strong winds or heavy rain.
