Promising review: "I am very happy with this reed fencing. The lovely brown color and tight weave with the string is so much better than ones I've had in the past that were weaved with wire that look shabby and horrible. These are a wonderful quality for the price to make putting up large sections of fencing more affordable. They are not completely private as people have mentioned but that's not what I wanted. I wanted to be able to see through a little bit but they work great to give some sense of separation and privacy." —Lauren it from Amazon for $56.09+ (available in seven sizes and two colors).

Promising review: "I love these — smooth light shades show just enough light on the garden without extra lines showing on the ground. I like that there are three lengths of stakes to use. I used the smallest stake in the dirt at first. But now I must add stones/rocks, so I might have to change the length of the stakes too so it is a good idea to have that option. I have received a lot of compliments on the lights as it is rare to find the lights without distortion (details on the lamps)." —TeriGet it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in packs of four or eight).

I hung both of them between my small patio and English garden, and they provided enough light for both areas. I received them late afternoon, so they got about four hours in the sun. At 9 p.m., both came on like clockwork. I got up at 3 a.m. to check if they were still on, and they were as bright as ever. They are so dang cute and unique in my yard. I will be buying more. Love, Love, Love them." —Dog TailorGet it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three styles).
