The parts of the mat into two parts is not a problem, but the one described in previous reviews charring of the threads with the lighter turned out to be quite dangerous out, the thread immediately caught fire and the flame pulled himself equal to the slats along. So be careful!
The fixing with cable ties, depending on the design of the balconies, more or less complicated, but doable.
Negatives I give very clear for the Opaque of a visual screen !! Between the individual slats is still so much space that the balcony passers people can see easily if I am naked or with clothes sun. This disappointed me greatly!
What I find very positive, is the color. Very inconspicuous brown, blends perfectly with the color of the wood of the balustrade and looks visually very pretty. (If you have cable tie in the same color used)
Overall, I must not suggest, I would not buy it again on the Internet! Prefer to buy at the hardware store, where you have the same quality in mind and can make no misconceptions.
Price / performance ratio is not okay, for this quality in my opinion too expensive !!
