The screen is as described – the curtain is a black/dark grey transparent vinyl. You can see though it when there is light behind it. Has metal grommets where the zip-ties go through. Plenty of Zip-ties. Curtain fitsthe frame well, not much gap between frame and curtain. Frame is square tubing – assembles with no tools – small indents help keep pieces from sliding. 6X8 ft curtain is stable with wide base. It is a big sail, so a big floor fan could make it unstable, I suppose. Can be connected to other screens for even more stability.
