The blinds themselves are nice. Easy to install and serve the purpose well enough. I ordered two, then another two to spread the expense. Three of the four have metal pulley brackets, the forth is black plastic. A change of material for any component should be disclosed when purchasing multiples of any item. If the aesthetic on an old porch mattered more to me I’d have given this a 2 star review. For future buyers of multiple units open the package and look at the bag with hardware first. Lengthy delivery time on these so I’m keeping them. FedEx also delivered these to the wrong house. Luckily I walked a few houses over to see them on another porch.

These shades do a perfect job at blocking the sun! I would recommend two people install them, although it can be done by one person. I did it by myself and it was exhausting having to climb up and down the ladder so often. Customer service was great! I had an issue with one of the shades and they resolved it without any hassles. They were courteous and thorough. I would buy these again. The directions are a bit hard to follow. They have only been up for 4 days, so I can't comment on the value for the money. I have to wait and see how long they last. So far the material seems durable enough to be able to handle the NC summers. I would also highly recommend marking where you are going to put the brackets before you start hanging. That might be obvious to some, but I didn't happen to think about it🤦♀️

Lots to do here. I had to put 2 of these together first one was the lesson 2nd was easier. Directions can confuse you. I think there is a video I didn't realize it until I was done, I suggest you watch it. Wasn't hard to assemble just have to take it slow dont hurry. I used some small washers at the top connection s since the screws provided would not firmly hold down hanger the would cause it to slip out of groove when tightening. Running the string proved to be an ordeal you have alot of feet to pull through then at final stage you will have to sinch it up all over to take out the slack to put the string lock on. After all is said and done they look good and shade the sun out of your eyes.

#1. The weaved plastic like material this shade is made with is cheaply made, & will not roll up nicely. It has wrinkles on one side as though it is not even. 2. Assembly Directions are poor as it gets. 3. The locking mechanism is a real pain. It is a piece of metal that you pinch & slide up the pull strings once you have the shade where you want it. Just like those devices you see on coat hood strings & a lot of other different items. I would return this shade if I wasn't to the point of being totally fed up with the assembly of it. I wouldn't recommend this item to anyone. I purchased the 8'Wide by 6' Long shade & there is no way to put 3 pulleys on this shade because you don't have 3 strings to string through 3 pulleys. I am beyond upset that I wasted over $92 on this pos!!!

Very easy installation, sturdy, rolls up and down with no effort and ties off for storage. The shade produced is maximized, air flows around and through as it should. I gave this shade a 5 star regardless of the fact that several rods had retainer plastic ends broken off in the package! I believe that this is a packaging and shipping problem that should be addressed and not a product defect. After verifying the damage with pictures, the company promptly shipped a complete new set of rods without damages.

Good product, pretty simple design and easy to follow instructions. Once you figure out the rope system it makes sense. Mine had a defect with one of cross bars - the threaded part was split so it would not accept the other cross bar. I sent pictures and was quickly sent a replacement set. Thanks!!

Had low expectations but was surprised how nice these shades are! They will protect our furniture from the harsh sun and make the patio useful in the afternoon. I just ordered a third one. Here is some of the things we did to make them work.1. We hung it with four Alumahangers since we have an insulated cover. The end pulley we had to screw into the aluminum awning because it needs to be in a fixed position2. I put WD40 on the threads of the rods to make screwing in easier. Lay the rods flat on a table to get them to screw in. Otherwise it will be very hard.3. We actually cut the rods so they would fit in the groove of our awning cover. You just unscrew the end cap, cut the rod pipe with a pipe cutter and put in a drywall anchor and screw back in the endcap. We took 2.5 inches off the rod to make it fit. The shades still lie flat and function normally.4. I have a cable wrapped around the bottom of the post and then I use an S hook to attach the eye screw of the shade to the cable to keep the shade in place.Wish the cleat to tie the cord was not plastic and wish it was larger. I have a lot of cord because my shades are 6'X9'.

Absolutely delighted with the quick delivery straight to my door. Pleased with the quality of the blinds and easy to install. Our open outside porch is a suntrap, here in Pissouri, Cyprus it can be windy as we live not far from the coast. I am delighted to say we can now enjoy sitting out in the porch as the blinds cut out a great deal of rays from the sun and cope with the wind. Gives us privacy but still allows us to see through blinds. I only installed the blinds yesterday but they look strong enough that I imagine that we will get good use out of them. A definite good buy.
