CoolarooShade Fabric 70% UV Coverage Outdoor or Exterior Privacy and Screening, Medium Roll (12' X 50'), Black

Using Coolaroo Timber Fasteners, I hung Coolaroo Shade Fabric along the back of my pergola to stop the setting sun from blasting my windows. It does the trick! But my pergola is 18 feet wide and I only ordered one 15-foot roll of shade fabric, so there's a 3-foot gap on one side (as can be seen in the attached photos). I anchored the loose bottom corner of the shade fabric to a wood post by using a dog leash. I slipped the dog leash clasp between the weave of the shade fabric and tied the end of the leash to the wood post and hammered a nail into it so it wouldn't move up or down. The shade fabric hasn't torn where the clasp is puncturing it, even though there have been some windy days where there was a lot of tension on it. Of course I should have installed a grommet, but I didn't have one.For my second project, I used black Coolaroo Medium Shade Fabric and Scotch Permanent Outdoor Mounting Tape to try to prevent passersby from being able to see into my home through my security screen door. See the accompanying photos of the shade fabric taped to the inside of my security screen door. The first photo shows the view from the inside looking outside. The second photo shows the view from the outside, standing in front of the screen door. The third photo shows the view from the outside, standing at an angle where you can still see my sliding glass patio door leading to the backyard. I think I might be able to obscure the view of the sliding glass patio door if I put another layer of shade fabric on the security screen door. Unfortunately, the tape didn't hold the fabric to the screen door for more than a few days, so I removed the tape and used 2 mm black nylon cable twist ties. I slid the cable ties through the fabric and metal screen, twisted them, and cut off the ends.

OMG this material made an incredible difference! The wall on the side of my master bedroom faces the late afternoon /evening Sun in the summertime and because of it my master bedroom temperature is typically 10 degrees higher than the rest of the house. I spent $200 having another layer of insulation put in the attic over my bedroom, but didn't make much of a difference. So then the last two summers I had to buy a window air conditioner which cost $250 and it's a mess to put in and of course it increased my electric bill by $50 a month. I read about the sun shades online and I couldn't afford the $60 10x10 sunshade so I found this material and thought for $30 I'll give it a try. I just stapled it up to the Eve's on the side of my house and then tied it off to the fence and I thought it might help a little bit but the difference is incredible! And I only use a little over half of the roll so I still have another 7 foot section to shade another part of my house. I would recommend this to everyone! The material is well-made thick it's got border on it it's shiny on one side and the color is beautiful. Also it's very simple to put up because of the reinforced Edge on each side of the six foot width I just used a staple gun and stapled it to the eaves. If you needed to you could also just make grommet holes by using a hole punch and a grommet maker which you can get at any fabric store for $12.

We have this over our pergola and it works really well to keep it cooler than the hot sun beating down on us. I had to trim it on the corners and it did not fray as you can see in the picture I have provided. (all those edges have been cut) That said, it does feel like it needs some sort of hem along the edges, but functionally it is fine.

The media could not be loaded.  I wanted a privacy cover for my balcony along with something to provide shade and stumbled upon this one. loved the dimensions, price, and how I was able to cut the excess off and hang it to the edge of the balcony. It definitely changed the look and it’s slowly turning into my little jungle especially with adding some strands of artificial plants that I also got from amazon along with the litter box.As far as the dimensions 6x15, it’s the correct dimensions but if you read the description before purchasing it does say it measures 3ft when rolled. When I took out the plastic and unrolled it I realized the reason why. It’s folded in half and THEN rolled up. What’s half of 6ft when rolled? 3ft. So don’t be discouraged when you get it and it measures 3ft. The pictures I attached I didn’t unfold i and left it at 3ft since it worked perfectly that was a privacy cover. If you look at other reviews you can see the unfolded style.The only thing I didn’t really like is the end of roll is curled but it’s fine cause I’ll work with and find something to fix the problemNow I can go outside and sit and not have that awkward moment of a stare with my neighbors in the building across from me on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floor when they’re on their balconies

I live on the top floor of a 2 story house. Since I moved in 2 years ago, the summer heat from the 4' x 3' pyramid shape skylight has been a torture to me. I explored every possible ways to reduce the heat and UV and it seems that nothing works unless I put in a new skylight. I called 3M to see if they sell their sun block film to regular household and they do not (only through authorized dealer/installer which costs a minimum of $600). The representative, however, was extremely helpful and took his time to explain to me why plastic sun block film (3M or Gila) will not work for my situation. He suggests me to put a skylight cover on the roof. So looking for skylight cover, I stumbled into this Coolaroo Shade Fabric. It costs me $30 (the fabric + 2 curtain rods) to get exactly what I want. Based on some reviews, I doubled the cloth. Light can still come through but in a much more gentle manner. It's like you left a warm color light on. I chose wheat color which is similar to beige and it gives me a warm feeling (and match my decor). I guess if you choose grey, it will give you a cool touch.We have a heat wave in NYC today (100+ heat index) and this fabric makes a huge difference from before. Be aware, it does not totally block the sun though (at least the color I picked).Extremely happy :-)

The shade cloth delivered to me looks more like a curtain rod. I used it in the kitchen window to hold curtains. I sure wish l had some shade cloth.

We hang this off Our RV Awning to help block afternoon sun.Works great and now we can enjoy the deck without scrambling to find relief from heat.Also great as a privacy screen.Works well when used with Camco party light holdersand texton tarp clips. makes putting up and taking down a breeze.

Awesome screen! Much thicker then the other screens we’ve used! Easy to cut with sharp scissors & looks real sharp! Thank you!

Used this fabric for a privacy/sunscreen. Looks great and function well. Wish it was a little heavier.
