Bought 3 of these to go under the perspex roof of our pergola for extra shade.they are doing the job so far. Took a bit of time to fit them as I needed to cut the lenght before I added the grommets to hold them up on hooks . I wanted them to be easy to remove if needed,sounds complicated what I did but it was the way I wanted them and worth it.

Purchased to make new cover for Pergola. The raw ends of the fabric were a bit uneven but the fabric is easy to pin and hem. It was so easy to sew using my standard sewing machine and standard needle. I easily hemmed and created rod pockets on the ends for the bars that adjust pergola. Looks great and has decent shade it has good weight than what I had before and doesn’t blow in the wind as much.

It's working perfectly for to top of our pergola. I'm very pleased with how lightweight and durable this material is. I will be recommending it.

This is the third time I've installed shade cloth on my pergola on my back porch. The other two times the product was decent but not as good as this. This is thicker, better quality, and a higher UV Sun blocking ratio. I bet this will last for years with no problems! It is not hard to install just takes a little bit of time maybe an extra person to help. Has cut the heat and the Sun significantly it's a difference between night and day LOL. I know my plants are going to love it and I know my doggies do too because they can stay outside longer without being on broil in the south Georgia heat ☀️😍

Este material es excelente se confecciono para unos gazebos y la verdad deja pasar el aire no asi losbrayos del sol hace que el area de cobertura se haga mas fresca lo tengo en un clima muy calido con temperaturas de hasta 40grados y se ha comportado muy bien en lluvias torrenciales tambien a resistido bastante bien permea bien evitando bolsas en la tela, al principio oense que era alto el costo del material pero al ver su desempeño es bastante justo por lo que pagas, lo recomiendo ampliamente no te arrepentirás con esta elección

Es un excelente producto, lo compre por qué en Home depot nunca tienen de este color de malla. Sin embargo el precio es un poco alto.

This was my first time using this product for building a shade canopy over my pergola. It worked out great and since this was my first design I will buy this again to build upon my lessons learned. Some of my design for my pergola cover was not supported by the material.Pros: Worked out great and let in lots of light without all the blazing heat. The roll allowed me to design what I needed to fit over my pergola. It stood up to some pretty heavy winds this summer (Colorado winds). The material worked as expected.Cons: I had to buy 2 rolls and each roll was a different length by over 1 foot. I used grommets to make connection/tie down points and this caused the material to be cut by the grommets in one place i got a little zealous on the grommet install (Of course this material is not designed for using grommets). Goop fixed the issue though. This material is not hemmed on the ends and the ends are uneven, but they did not fray. The sides are also not hemmed but they are slightly reinforced. After unrolling there is a crease down the middle of each roll that never came out.Like I mentioned, my install design was not fully supported by this material, which I knew of. It still worked out great though. I will be buying 2 more rolls to improve upon my original design though. This material is not waterproof. My parents commented on how well it looked and worked for what I used it for and commented they should get this material as well to put up a sun shade.

Haven't used it as yet, but getting it sewed to size. It looks great and I am sure it will be just what we expected. It is expensive, but if it lasts like some people said it will be worth it.

UPDATE 1/11/14: I have had this sun shade fabric installed as sun shades for my windows for over 2 years now. I have single pane windows that I cannot afford to replace with more efficient windows.Analysis of this project demonstrated a 40% decrease in energy usage *on average* in the past two years. In the summer months, I have had a decrease of 20 kw per day usage. Most summer months I averaged 47 kw per day before the installation. After the installation, the monthly energy usage has been a high of 27 kw per day (most months are lower in actual usage).The fabric is in excellent condition that only needs a light dusting occasionally. You can see out of the fabric in the day time. At night, if I have the living room lights on, you can see outlines and movement in the house.(ORIGINAL REVIEW)I debated a very long time on whether to purchase this fabric. I have no idea why I waited so long...but this was a huge mistake to wait.I built solar shades for my windows. Let me explain. I built frames in 1 x 2 inch cedar wood and stapled the fabric to the back. This gave the frame added stability and some depth. I originally intended to mount these shades externally on my single pane windows. The fabric and cedar frame were so pretty; I used them as a feature on an internal mount against the window.The amount of light coming through the fabric was surprising given the amount of heat that it kept out.I have received my first electric bill since mounting the shades. The shades were up for 21 of the 30 days on the bill and I still saved $40 compared to same time last year. Also, this billing period was 3 degrees hotter on average than last year. So, a 20% electric reduction for that cycle. Since then, I finished mounting the last solar shades on two east facing picture windows. I even mounted a double layer of fabric over the windows in my front and rear doors using mounting tape. I do have matchstick blinds on the door as an aestetic cover that is complemented by the fabric's color and texture. While the door's windows are blocked from viewing, the heat is completely blocked.The fabric is easy to handle and cut with regular scissors. The staples 'gripped' the fabric well when stetching and mounting. The fabric on the door's windows has curled a bit on the one edge that is not secured. If I had put a hem and lightly ironed that finished edge, it would no longer curl.I highly recommend this product. As a matter of fact, I plan to make a solar canopy to attach to a small deck area that is on the drawing board. Meanwhile, I keep telling everyone who gripes about their electric bill about this fabric. Here in Central Florida it has been a very brutal summer. These solar panels will pay for themselves in two billing cycles of my electric bill; that includes the cost of wood, fabric and hardware. For me, that is a huge win!
