is the screen on this product flat......or does it have an upside down V in the center to direct the seed to the outside?

It is flat. It is a great option so the rain flow through and keeps the bird see relatively dry.

In order to use the posts we would have to drill a hole to make them work. We have posts too and didn't use them. I will tell you now that I am using the canopy more and more, the top doesn't stand up like the photo shows. Mine kind of lays flat which is okay but the screen netting moves around in wind and rain gets in and everything under the canopy gets wet. Nothing like the original replacement but we tried to get that first and couldn't. It is an okay replacement but we also had tried numerous things to keep bugs from getting in between the top and the screen netting.I wound up stapling the netting border to the flaps hanging down. Works like a charm but I had to improvise a lot. In order to use the posts we would have to drill a hole to make them work. We have posts too and didn't use them.

While this screen is fairly light, and well built, it is not meant to be moved. I actually replaced a pull down seen with this one, and you may wish to consider that, but the problem with the pull downs is that the screen develops waves and does not give you the true picture of a stationary screen.

The last joint next to the monitor will rotate the monitor so it is flat. I just tried it and I can rotate it to face the tabletop it is attached it to. Hope that helps.

Mine has no groove. The screen actually is held to one side of the feeder top by a couple of large staples held up enough to allow the screen to move back and forth. There is a small hook on the opposite side and it moves back in forth to hold or release the screen. I had some aggressive squirrels that pulled a couple of the staples out and now mine is held on to the top by one staple. I have not been able to find these staples at my local hardware stores. If my last one comes out I am not sure how I will fix it.

It's profile. Longest side has the seem. Could be used landscape if you flip it open upwards.

The top opens exactly the same way as the bottom, by twisting it or the seed cage in opposite directions. If you are having a hard time, it is because it is stuck. I had the same problem. Empty any seed inside, then turn it so you can see what you are doing and try again. If it won't come loose, put a little oil (vegetable oil probably would be best) on the parts that won't loosen and try again. If necessary, give the top a gentle tap on a hard surface to jar it loose. -- When you put it back together, be sure to avoid twisting it too tightly.

The spreader is light weightIf you put you grass seed in it that's light also. My wife uses it with no problem.

There are feet on the bottom. Its designed to be used one way. Never bothered flipping it over. Wouldn't see why it wouldn't technically function upside down though. Not sure why you'd need it to=)

The downspout actually sits above the mesh screen; an open end. When it rains, the debris is stopped by the screen but the flow goes into the barrel. I was unnecessarily worried that the water would pour over the sides: it does not. I am very happy with the performance of the unit and the ease of assembly. I am handicapped and elderly and had no problem setting the whole thing up.

it's not in a angle. It's straight. Then again the part i ordered was 8 feet but was bent bad in 2 spots. I had to make do with what was sent. Not to mention that it took over 2 months to get this product.

It has 2 small latches that allow the lid to tilt but it doesn't open all the way. I find it hard to fill. I spill seeds all over the place. It also allows seeds to fall out through the screen, too. I don't really like it that well but I'll use it until it falls apart.

My canopy has a little slant to the legs, as I think they all do. Some of the less expensive canopies though seem to have a severe slant making the base considerably larger than the top. I would have doubts about the screen working with those unless you can pull the legs in a bit - which might be possible?????

There is a ruberized side that the directions said should be on the projection side. I did not experiment with both sides and I am very happy with the ruberized side out.

One side is flat. My grandson was really pleased with the overall aesthetics of this realistic looking gummy heart. The photo is an accurate one.

It's pictured upside down. The umbrella hole in the top half will allow you to adjust the angle of the umbrella. Whoever assembled it for the photo just got it wrong, which is quite easy to do.
