Impressive screen you have there pc bowe.  :)

Had to change the locking mechanism for the front legs on mine as originals gave way under weight. Now OK as mark IV.  :)

The card table folds flat,can be carried under one arm and the most people we've had on it was 6 sorting and two shoveling.
The fall on all parts of it are adjustable to compensate for what ever material is going trough as
large a rock as can be picked up on the shovel just bounces off.
When it comes to material in loam the top screen gets lay flat and a bucket is worked over the material to bust it up.

In truth I only use it for it's social aspect and when I'm with a bunch of new chums.
I rarely dig and screen.
Preferring to spec and rake.

On a related topic.
This reminds me of a story about one of our local old coytes.
While boiling the Billy for some visitors to his bush hut one day,it was noted that his bed consisted of two layers of boards some blankets and a pillow.
(Sandwiched in between the boards was his Sunday best,an old school bush iron.)
Upon their return visit, an old wire mess steel frame bed was presented as a gift.
Which was excepted with great enthusiasm.

Apparently they make an excellent Throw screen.
