Ordered the product, received it in a timely manner. Because it was manufactured in China, the packaging was rather poor, China skimps on cardboard and it offers very little real protection. But in spite of rough handling that ripped the cardboard open, the basic unit is well made with a strong steel, and nicely powder coated, so I'm not complaining. Everything was in good shape except for a little waviness in the thin sheet metal that extends to cover the screen opening. Doesn't affect the unit, so I'll roll with that. A little thicker sheet metal would prevent that in manufacturing. The instructions assume you know what the person who wrote them is thinking, that can be confusing and frustrating. I wasn't sure what size bit to use for drilling the holes in cement, it was ambiguous or in another language or state of mind, I did some research and concluded that 1/2 inch was what others were using, so that's what I used. Unfortunately the 1/2 was too big, and the lag bolts would not hold, so I had to go to Home Depot and pick up some construction adhesive. I filled the holes with adhesive, set up the unit,
Tapped the bolts down into the adhesive and left them for 2 weeks now, did the same with the holding units and I've waited another week for the entire thing to cure. Tomorrow I will
Rachet them all down to tighten them and try my new 90 degree privacy screen. I'm happy with the product, just not the instructions.
