What Customers Are Saying
Most customers praise these outdoor shades for effectively blocking sunlight and reducing heat while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. Many find installation straightforward and appreciate the light-filtering fabric. However, a substantial group reports significant durability issues, particularly with the tension mechanism—a small plastic piece that frequently detaches, preventing automatic rolling. Reviewers also note design flaws including lack of bottom weight causing wind flapping and plastic end caps warping in heat. While sun-blocking performance satisfies most, recurring mechanical failures and poor durability undermine overall reliability for a considerable portion of users.

Would Not RecommendMy second set of shades. Disappointing after the 1st set lasted 12 years this last set came apart like a cheap suit after 2 years. Poor design of plastic support at the bottom of the shade warped in the heat a d formed a parachute that allowed the wind to rip off the fabric and deposit the whole mess into the road. This is both a defect in materials and design that should be covered under their limited lifetime warranty. Unfortunately that is not worth the paper it is printed on.

Clearance gem find.
Would RecommendThis was a gem of a find for the front porch. Paid $5 for it on clearance. Helps with the setting sun when it hits a specific angle. Wish it was larger but that’s about it.

Outdoor roll up porch shade
Would Not RecommendDo not buy this inferior product. The chintzy plastic brackets will stretch out with time(one summer) and the shade will fall out. We had to brace them with metal supports. Even now, every time the wind blows forcefully, the shade falls out. The plastic roll up rod breaks easily, so the shade can't be rolled up. Horrible product. Previously, similar shades were equipped with metal hooks that never failed. They also had string roll ups, that lasted YEARS longer than this product. Why did the des...

Good experience for beginners
Would RecommendLiked the installation, was easy and not time consuming. Recommend two people for installation. Didn’t like the instructions, save time if it read how much to measure for ideal function.
