Review on TANG Sunshades Depot Exterior Roller Shade Roll Up Shade For Patio Deck Porch Pergola Balcony Backyard Patio Or Other Outdoor Spaces Blinds Light Filtering Block 90% UV Rays 7’ W X 6’ L Brown by Eduardo Purewal

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing these. The main reason I bought them is because they had hard to find standard sizes that fit our screen porch. The reviews were good and the price was excellent. That being said, there were a few issues regarding installation. 1. The screws for the pulleys were small and for our situation made it hard to drill. A larger screw head with a flat back would have been better. 2. The pipes were hard to fit together due to the powder coating. I had to sand off the coating in order to fit them together, and even then, with difficulty. 3. The cord stringing instructions were difficult and it took several times reading the printed instructions and watching the online video to get it right. Once installed, they are quite wrinkled, but I'm hoping that over time with humidity they'll straighten out. They're also a bit difficult to roll up straight to look nice. On the positive side, they provide great sun protection. Our west facing screen porch becomes a scorcher in the late afternoon, and these help tremendously. The beige color is more of a wheat color.more yellowish which worked for us, but maybe not for someone else. The wide range of sizes, the price and the sun protection outweigh the difficulties for us. We'll enjoy them!
