What the AI looks for in Garden Privacy & Protective Screens

- Natural reed or bamboo lasts a few seasons; HDPE mesh and composite last longer Natural materials weather, split and grey over time.
- Support structure

- Height and wind
- Taller, denser screens need posts at tighter intervals Garden screens catch wind across long runs.
