They worked well for making a windbreak underneath a carport using VisQueen plastic. You can also wrap plastic or a tarp to make a three-sided paint booth, or you can use them as a barrier wall when spaying kitchen cabinets to control overspray. Im sure there are many other uses for them. I believe I need to purchase another set in order to get the most use out of them. The legs and supports hold well; the jack inside the poles allows you to tighten a tarp or barrier against a surface without having to apply excessive force and they are easily removable, The swivel design near the bottom of the legs and top of the supports allows you to use them on uneven surfaces or at angles as well. They are very well designed and very well made.
