Review on 95% UV Block Shade Fabric Roll - Windscreen4Less Turquoise Green Sunblock Shade Cloth 12Ft X 40Ft by Bob Larson

I purchased this cloth to provide overhead shade on a pergola. I found the price appealing since my search for high-end fabrics from manufacturers like Sunbrella yielded much higher costs. Also, I chose this fabric b/c it provided the perfect length roll for my application, 8ft x 50ft. Unfortunately, for this size roll the only two color choices were beige or green (I was looking for white).The biggest downfall (and disappointment) for this product is that it arrives folded in half. Therefore, when you unroll it and expanded to its 8 ft length, it has a very noticeable crease in the middle (see pics). Furthermore, it is very sloppily rolled by the manufacturer that it creates a bunch of other unsightly creases in the fabric (see pics). During my application, in an effort to remove the creases as much as possible, I stretched the fabric as tight as I could but the creases are still visible (see pics).Lastly, upon measuring the width I discovered that it does not measure exactly 8 ft (see pic). Be aware of this incase you need an exact measure for your application. Also, for my application I needed three (3) runs of 16 ft each. Therefore I should have had 2 ft leftover (16 x 3 = 48). I didn't have any fabric leftover. There was just enough to complete the three (3) runs of 16ft. Hence, the roll was only 48 ft and not 50 ft.UPDATE: After a year and a half of use, the shade in my precious pergola is gone. Recently we had stormy weather (light winds and heavy rain) and the fabric was ripped off the pergola! (see new pics). As I was taking down the fabric and I noticed that after only a year and a half of exposure to the elements, it had become so brittle that I could tear it apart with a gentle pull. This is not a long term solution for my type of application (overhead shade for a pergola).
