Had a patio installed and needed to close off two openings for privacy. Easy to attach to the buildings and used a 3/8 masonry bit to drill 4 holes into the pavers on each side to hold the anchor pole. Sturdy construction and the unit extends out very easily and smoothly. Very easy to disconnect and store in the main unit when not needed. I wish it was a tad bit longer to cover the entire gap I had to fill but will put a small bush in the area to dress it up. Very happy with the product.
