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 Aries Reed

I love the shades but the rods are not easy at all to connect. The threads just don’t match up and I tried using Vaseline as lubricant, but ended up using pliers and gripper pads to attach them together….very frustrating!While putting together the 3rd shade I found it easier when I sprayed them with WD40 but still difficult. I really don’t understand why the treads don’t match up.I almost returned because of this.I did contact the seller and they replied with,…take a picture and send so they could see my complaint or issue!I just decided to fight through and go with it.
