These are great. Had them on 6x6 windows south facing. Reduced indoor temps 5 celsius. If you have them against a wall that cannot take hooks or loops for anchors to tie-down (vinyl siding), put the anchors into the ground, concrete footing, or attach to a buried square post laid horizontal. Use wire or non-stretch cord, attach the bottom of shade roll, then lightly crank the shade up to tension. Wind IS a factor, be sure your bottom tie-downs are proper. Stay gold.
Just install three of these myself on my carport, 2 120" X 96" and 1 96" X 96". My only dislike is the 10 ft shade bows in the center. I hope they last as two shades will constantly be fully extended and exposed to the afternoon sun. The third one will stay rolled up more.
I have two of these up in the 10' length. They are both partially extended and secured on each side so the wind doesn't blow them around. They have been up since the making of the video, and I find they are as good as they were on day one. Best of luck to you and thanks for your input!
If you are saying that you would want to pull the sunshade from left to right or right to left, I'm not really sure. There would probably need to have some horizontal support on the top end for that to work. I would be concerned that it would sag in the middle and you wouldn't be pleased with that result. Thanks for the comment, and best of luck!
Wind passes through it, but it is buffered a little. As for waterproof, it is made for the outdoors, and the material holds up well through all weather conditions. Because it is woven fairly loose, water will come through if you have a good amount of wind blowing. I hope this helps.
3:49 The manual says "turn the Idle end unit so the opening is facing away from the window". I'm confused by this, but looking at your video you have the opening parallel the 'window'. Not sure which way is best because yours seem logical and secure, but the manual says so otherwise.
I totally agree. I feel that it is more secure the way that I did it. I believe the manual is saying to do it parallel to the window in case you have the shade bracket mounted very close to the ceiling. If THAT is the case, you may not have room to slide the post in from above the bracket due to the lack of clearance. All in all, I believe the installation would work either way because once the shade is installed into the idle end, it is not going to pop out on its own. I hope this helps, and thanks for the very good question.
Thanks for the comment, but all I did to prevent them flying is attach the bungee cords to the ends on the posts. Mine have been in place through very strong winds and holding. Good luck!

Do you think the shade could be installed so the sunshade runs horizontally, on the underside of a pergola? I'm curious how the wand would work.

I love Tattoo. What a fun name!
Thanks. He's the BEST!
Does it block the wind when securely attached to the posts? Also, do you know if it is waterproof? Thank you so much!

Thank you, is it exact 10 feet on yours bracket bracket or the shade itself
The shade fabric is just under 10' and the brackets are outside that space. I hope this helps.
Great job. I just got home with the 10ft shade and your video was very helpful. Thank you
@@MrPawPaw Excellent. I'm so happy that the video helped. It's always nice to get feedback on the videos. Much appreciated! Also, good for you!
@@mattsworlddiy their up. Hahaaa

Thank u sir.
Absolutely. Thank you for the comment!
..and if I don't have a smart phone. How to scan QR code on laptop?
These blinds will fly away so light weight and cheap!

WellDone...thanks!
@@tonioyendis4464 Thank YOU!
tin roof does not help
You're right; it can get pretty hot under there in the Texas heat. With a good fan, however, the circulating air keeps the head down considerably.
