Quality of solar shade is poor. Nothing but problems. Despite tieing down lower part of shade even with light winds upper roller turns losening shade and causing excessive slack since no locks were provided on upper rod to keep this from happening. Was told to raise shade up when wind is present. . That means every time before I leave home I have to raise shades up just incase of winds coming. This problem was not mentioned to me or are mentioned on instructions before I purchased. I called customer service and ask them to send me a return label to send shades back for a refund since I wasn't 100% satisfied. I was told a refund could not be issued because shades were special ordered. Was told to send pictures of the problem I was having so they can send a replacement. I told them I did not want the same type of shade and asked what else they had.Was told they could offer me a different shade for 50% off. I just noticed another problem with shades. Fabric is already coming unglued from rod. This is how fabric is attached to rod. With glue. If glue has to be used at least use good adhesive. I know for a fact there are good quality adhesives on the market but they choose to use cheap or the wrong adhesives.This is what happens when shades are cheaply made. This is why I requested a refund and not a replacement because of the quality of the shades & did not want any more problems . Evidently customer satisfaction doesn't apply to everyone.Beware before you purchase because you may be stuck with product whether good or bad.

We installed a 112" wide solar shade on one side of our patio where the sun beams straight in. It definitely eliminated the sun beams in our eyes and on our bodies, but the unexpected surprise was how much it dropped the temperature on the patio. And it isn't a closed-in patio at all! It was a noticeable difference and makes our outdoor space so much more enjoyable - and usable! We are very pleased.

The blinds are of good quality and easy to install. I would recommend them to friends and family.

The shades came packed with good protection and arrived in perfect condition. They were easy to install and operate very well and look good when covering the windows. Only concern is the little plastic brackets the serve as the tie down clips to hold the shades in place at the bottom. I'm concerned that they will hold up in an outdoor exposure situation.
