Bought this shade previously and love it. Decided to buy another one ut does not have a protective cover on top which exposes the metal rod and gears. Disappointed in this one. We'll see if this one holds up as well.

I Love it it keeps my patio shaded,easy to use it lets a little lught in so its not completely dark.

This is the second time we ordered these shades. We added a screened porch on the back of our house. They are good quality and work great and look great! Very pleased with the way they look.

Easy to put up.

MOUNTING SCREWS ARE GARBAGE. Shades are great, brackets sensibly designed... but the mounting screws are GARBAGE. Installed three shades already, have been *very* careful with the soft 'screws' included in the box, but on the fourth shade, despite drilling a pilot hole AND installing and removing the screw before hanging the bracket, the SOFT SCREW HEAD COMPLETELY STRIPPED. Now I get to pry out the screw.... and make a trip to the hardware store for decent-quality screws. Really tired of manufacturers making fair-quality goods, then CHEAPING OUT ON THE HARDWARE. Spend another nickel for decent screws... you're going to charge the customer for them anyway.

Had this mounted inside my lanai for 2 months now. Worked great at first but about a week ago it started skipping when trying to retract it. The skipping is getting worse and now I'm afraid to drop it for fear it will not retract at all. Very poor construction.

Easy to install.

To light wait poor quality

This was exactly what we wanted! Good quality. Excellent performance after a few tweaks.

Easy to install and keeps the sun off us in the late afternoon and evening. Would buy again.
