It's something I have never given much thought to, perhaps because I would never be sitting there. I could support our stupid local Council and say it could act as a wind break?
In all honesty, we do not get amazing summers over here and if you look at this photo, maybe they just feel it brightens the sea front up a bit?
Also, once anybody sits down, I doubt if they can see very much either. I dare say a couple of guys made a decision on this one.
