Easy Gardener Sun Screen Fabric, 6-Foot x 12-Foot - 75% Sun Block Review

Easy Gardener Sun Screen Fabric,  6-Foot x 12-Foot - 75% Sun Block

This product looks good in place and performs well, giving good shade but passing some sunlight. But, and it is a killer "but", the first indication of trouble was cracking of the butterfly ties. I wondered if bending the ties to close them in cool weather caused some sort of stress. I called the company and they sent me replacements. I put the replacements in hot water to soften them before bending, but several of the new ones failed in a few months.
The fabric has become brittle after only nine months; you can tear it with your hands or poke a hole with your finger. It is tearing at some of the attachment clips (installed every 12" per the instructions). I sent in a warranty claim and we shall see what happens.
The annoyance factor here though is the short life and the hassle of having to replace a 40' cover. I will try another brand.
Update: Easy Gardener has honored the warranty and is refunding my purchase price. The process involved sending the sales ticket and a sample of the material. Their web site says it takes several weeks and it did.

14FT 1000XT Retractable Awning Review

I am just delighted with my recent purchase of the 14' 1000XT Sunsetter Awning. It is a little more difficult to open and close than what they depict, but still manageable even tho it is quite heavy to lift and extend the arms. Also I recommend that you pay aprx 300 dollars to have it installed, it is not easy to erect, many parts, very heavy, and takes 2 or three individuals to handle it. To me, I feel this was a great investment and the family really enjoys it and I do highly recommend it to others. The quality of the unit is great.

Exactly like the one from SunSetter direct, but at a fraction of the cost. Product arrived via truck just the same. Free shipping! Product is refurbished, but there's no way to tell.

Coolaroo Classic Series Bottom Roll up Sun Shade 8 Feet by 6 Feet, Smoke Review

Coolaroo Classic Series Bottom Roll up Sun Shade 8 Feet by 6 Feet, Smoke

Shipping on this item was much faster than expected. This item is made of good quality material which I feel will stand up to the elements over time. The mounting system consists of a steel hanger that flush mounts to the mounting surface with included screws. The bottom is secured with plastic keepers on each side that snap onto the bottom of the shade. So far, it has held up to some pretty strong wind gusts without letting go. The only disappointment I had was in the color itself. Mine is "smoke". I equated this to a gray color when looking at the color swatch. It does in fact lean a little toward the brown side. Overall, I would recommend this to others and I'm planning on buying a second one for the opposite side on my porch.

Coolaroo Classic Series All Purpose Bottom Roll Up Window Shade Review

Coolaroo Classic Series All Purpose Bottom Roll Up Window Shade

The fabric is quite acceptable. It does exactly as is represented. However, the design needs much improvement. With the least amount of wind, i.e., breeze, the shade will not properly roll up. Also, the straps holding the pole in place (at the bottom of the shade) easily slip off.The shade and the pole are then free to do as they please; in my case, the pole fell to the ground, and the shade flapped in the breeeze. The pole however, is quite capable of smashing into anything within reach. A fine product for a zero wind area.
