The new screen that the Met Office have put into our our enclosure is
white plastic; meanwhile our own double sized screen needs painting -
a job that I loathe, and have been putting off for a while.

I like the plastic personally!

Hi Steve,
I've had a Met Office upvc screen for almost 6 years now and the performance
is excellent. It was not cheap but well worth the money. Having black slats
inside took some getting used to, but a thorough clean twice a year and the
odd wipe over when dusty and job done! No more painting/repairing of rotten
wood etc.

Enjoy.

Will
