you want 4 pieces as it will give you something to fasten too the trims need to be at the 4 corners

you will need to flatten it off and rebend it to another shape or if you can get the 50x50 same material but you will have to slight flatten it to shape

Don't show my missus this thread! We got GIVEN a massive one of those. Posh job too with side curtains. Mate of a mate got his one replaced on the insurance when a neighbour's roof tiles slipped and damaged just ONE roof panel. Got offered it, said no thanks, missus said yes please!

I just can't be bothered to erect it...

yes it will give you something solid enough to fasten too at the corners between each run of the roof slope

without them it will be a git to fasten them properly

me personally id also add thin tube so its also got a bit of an area to also fasten too as well and also to keep its shape or stainless steel wire

a mistake just noticed get the 0.8mm stuff not the 3mm as quoted above

bambo canes can also help with keeping the roof straight and you can drill them to fasten through them on the underside of the sheet trim used more as a support of those cane things your fine at the front edge by the look of it but you need another support higher up

Good idea on some thin tube or bamboo, I was thinking it mmight need support half way from the low side to the peak.
This it the kind of willow screening I am thinking of

the one you linked too is 1mm not 3mm

i reckon one at the peak 5-6" down from the peak

and one about halfway down should be enough on all 4 sides but id fix one and see if you need to add to them, but i would then i have 3 fasten points down the roof and also across the roof fastening to the bars as well
