 WONDERFUL! June 9, 2007

For weeks I researched online and in seasonal stores to find the right shade for our screened-in porch. All the shades I found were in the $350+ range. So when I saw this shade listed on amazon for a little over $100 was nervous about the quality. But it is WONDERFUL! We love it! The quality is high-end and perfect, the mocha color looks great and it rolls up and down with ease. I was concerned about it blowing in the wind, but it comes with one clip that snaps onto the bottom of the shade (when extended) and it literally holds the entire 10ft-shade in place even with big gusts of wind. It also has two ring hooks that can be used to secure the shade from blowing in the wind -- but I haven't had to use those because the clip works perfectly.
The shade mutes the view when looking out our screen-in porch and doesn't completely block it. What I really like about the shade is that when standing in our neighbor's yard the view INTO our porch is blocked. So you can take a nice afternoon nap on your porch without the whole neighborhood watching! :-) Our porch gets direct afternoon sun which can get uncomfortably hot. I have been surprised and very pleased with how well the shade cools down the porch in the afternoon.
If I had to come up with a complaint about this shade it would only be that I wish it came in longer lengths. But the shade is such a great quality that the length is no longer an issue for us.

Shade blocks the heat and sun. Very easy to install. The continuous loop clutch is much better than a draw sting system very smooth operation.

My porch is large and screened in, but after 3 pm in the afternoon is completely unusable. I would make the kids come in and we would close up the house in anticipation of the hot Florida afternoon sun. BBQing and afternoon parties were impossible due to the heat. I never wanted to be out there just because of the heat. But, I am proud to say that I am typing my review on the back porch right in front of the children playing in the pool. The sunshade lowers the temperature atleast 10 degrees and blocks out a lot of the UV rays that make it so hot. I have the screen down but I can see through them to watch the children play in the yard. I bought two 10 foot shades and it is still not quite long enough for the back end of the porch, but it covers it enough to make it functional.
The only complaint I have is that they are not quite long enough to cover the porch from ceiling to floor, but we have moved past that. I am extremely happy with being able to be out here with my kids and actually look forward to spend time out here this summer. The roll shade works quite nice and the hooks are nice because they slide along the long plastic weighted bar that is at the bottom of the shade. The winds picks them up and we have not devised a system to secure them down. That is still in the workings.
All in all, the room is very functional and we feel that we have "extra" living space in our home. Very nice addition. Worth the money. I got mine at Home Depot, but thought I would write a review on here since most people would look on here to get their reviews from here.
Buy this shade and enjoy your outdoor living space again. We have reclaimed ours and couldn't be happier.
Love it! November 4, 2007

I bought this for a big window in my family room that gets direct sunlight until about 1:30pm. It works great at shading my room--I can also see through it so it does not feel like I am in a cave. It keeps the room cooler too.
Excellent Product June 8, 2008

This shade lives up to its promises. Blocks the hot afternoon sun, leaving our deck significantly cooler. Provides privacy, yet allows air to flow through. We also love the look of the shade - has a wood/bamboo appearance but is completely weather-proof. Great purchase.
