We have a large yard and I have ordered several of these. Originally, we were only going to do one and see if it would hold up over the winter, my MIL was so impressed with the look, we ordered more. We installed them in October, these made it through a bitter winter and lots of snow. Install is easier with two people, but my wife installed one herself.
We have several dogs and this cuts down on them seeing every silly thing and barking constantly. It provides SOME privacy but is not totally opaque, I've seen people say they used two of these and attained a higher level of privacy. I might do that if we had a pool in the back (don't I wish).
HOWEVER, the zip ties that come with the mesh are just too small and flimsy (use them for something else), I had to replace them immediately.
If you do not have any wind to speak of, the Karoka 12" Heavy Duty Zip Ties (also on Amazon) will probably work great. These are awesome and I've used them for other things as well.
**IF** you are in an area that does get significant wind OR periods of high wind gusts... these are also not for you, we had a period of high winds several days, the mesh is great but even the heavy duty zip ties gave up.
We are now using epoxy coated 11.8 inch metal zip ties and replacing as the Karoka's fail.
Last downside for us; I want to order a few custom sizes that are not on the site for our gates and the little bit that was not covered.
Also, our neighbors were annoyed about the mesh for some reason (we own the fence so.. who cares?).
I would recommend this privacy mesh without hesitation just with the caveat that you need much better zip ties.
