The fabric blocks the light enough so that there is nice shade but it still lets a little through. For instance, if you look up at the sun it is bright enough to hurt your eyes. I used my pressurized staple gun to attach it to my shade shelter and it seems to have worked really well. I won't really know until this winter when big rain and wind storms come through. I'll also have to wait and see how well the fabric holds up through the elements over the nex year or two. My only complaint right off the bat is that the fabric is about 5 inches short of 8ft. I could understand a quarter to a half inch but 5 inches is a bit much especially when you're planning out how much you will need. I think this may open them up to a lawsuit for false advertising and wouldn't be surprised if they are forced to change the description.
