Best Choice Products Faux Ivy Privacy Fence Screen 94" X 59" Artificial Hedge Fencing Outdoor Decor

Utterly delighted with this item. Service from Best Choice was super fast and product was as advertised. Realistic, attractive and well packaged. Ended up ordering several more! I value privacy above anything else in my yard. This was the antidote to selfish neighbours who chopped down their cedar hedge and had a full view of our yard/pool area. Erected posts on a fence and strung these across. Looks so real and provides just enough light and perfect cover. I did "double up" for extra privacy as I am particularly fanatical!

We attached this faux ivy hedge to our chain link fence to hide ugly electrical boxes at the back of our yard. Worked great! The leaves are a nice deep green color and were a beautiful backdrop to some plants we have growing in front of it.

Perfect for my needs. I wanted a privacy screen higher than the fence at the back of my property so that when I sit in my back family room with french doors during the non- leaf season of the year my neighbors could not watch my couch-potato behaviors :) This is especially relevant when it gets dark at 5pm and I have lights on in the house. I built a rough wood frame with 3 2x4's and used a cheap vinyl 2x8 privacy lattice i purchased from Menards as a structure. I'm not even sure I would need the lattice part of this design but it does give some support to the vine roll, especially if the squirrels decide it is a new playground toy. Pros: Good price compared to other similar options. Good coverage of leaves over the surface involved Very adjustable because it is designed in squares that pop together (very tightly) so you probably won't have to do any cutting if you want a different size. Seems quite durable for the outdoor application I chose and the way I mounted it. Very little work and easy to move or change for other purposes later. Cons: The square sections are snapped together VERY tightly and I had to use a pliers to get them apart. Not sure how it would be to put them back together... The "realistic" assessment of this faux ivy is pretty good but not perfect and I might not want to use it in a place people will walk right up to it. I would also like it if the company created some "accessories" in the form of non-square sections for the bottom row that would mimic ivy as it hangs down irregularly because part of the realism of my ivy is lost in that it is just one big rectangle! Overall I'm very happy with this product and might use it in another part of my yard for a similar reason. I'll let you know if it falls apart during the winter.

This has held up remarkably well in direct sunlight for the past year. I was a little skeptical at first because the leaf coverage is "airy" and not as dense as some of the photos. But it does allow wind through, and makes for complete privacy from neighbours. I have mine ziptues onto a metal trellis in the garden and it's quite nice. The only downside is that the leaves are mounted on strips of plastic - so if you trim the sheet, those strips will unwind from the plastic mesh. You'll have to hand-knot any strip that gets trimmed. That being said, mine look great after a year outdoors in the sun, snow, and wind. I didn't really notice any odd smell after unboxing. Because the sheet is so flexible, you could wrap this around a rain barrel or fence, without any problem.

I decided to write this review to let folks know the difference between these two products which look essentially the same on the Amazon site. I first bought the 3 units of the Best choice to try it and was extremely pleased. Then I went back to buy enough to complete my project and it had gone up in price by about $20 ($74). Of course that was too much so I bought the Deerhouse (this time I bought 6 units (their price was $46 per unit). It looked acceptable (not quite as nice as the Best Choice, but I could use them on the back side of my property where they wouldn't show as much. Then I went back to buy 6 more and the price of the Best Choice had gone down (it was still more then the DearHouse but I could live with the price. So with that background here is why I so much prefer the Best Choice: 1. It is a much sturdier product on a heavy grid - the Dear House is cheap plastic joined together in sections which keep breaking apart as you attempt to put it up. 2. It comes with it's own green zip ties. Dearhouse does not come with zip ties (which are almost $9 for 100). In addition the Dear house required way more zip ties to keep it up and together mainly because of how it is constructed in breakaway sections. 3. The leaves are a slightly darker green - Dearhouse leaves are a little more bright and shiny. I preferred the Bestchoice leaves as they appear more natural. 4. The Bestchoice leaves stay attached. The Dearhouse leaves keep coming off. 5. So much easier to install. So all in all purchase the BestChoice even though it is more expensive I'm sorry I bought the Deerhouse at all and now I'm having to live with it because I did install it.
