Perfect for the covered deck!

Perfect for keeping out that hot sun! We had hot morning sun on the east side of our deck in the AM. This shade fit the space perfectly and really does make a difference with sun, while also allowing privacy from neighbors. The crank handle is a good length to efficiently raise and lower the shade. Worth every penny!!! :)

Shades for windows

I looked around a lot and settled on this shade. It was much easier to put up than others I've installed. I'm using the roll up now so I don't have to take them down every winter. They even have clips to hold them down if they flap in the wind too much. I bought one to check it out. Now I just purchased 4 more. The color is very nice.

Love these blinds!

Awesome product and easily installed. I placed a 10 foot and a 12 foot on my Lakehouse deck as the Sun blast our deck in the evenings. Dropped the temperature at least 10 degrees and still lets the breeze through! Should have done this years before. Very happy with the hand crank so you can drop the shades as needed and easily rolled up and out of the way. The weighted pole on the bottom is great as it has lock down anchors to prevent the wind from blowing it around.

[Rewarded Review] Wonderful shades

These roller shades are wonderful! I really like the quality and durability of the shades. The wand to roll them up and down is nice, and makes an easy job of putting them up and down. I would definitely buy again. I also like the bungee for holding the shades in place.

This shade is listed with 3 other colors all hand crank, all showing in various sizes. However ONLY this shade the "Coolaroo Alderwood" has NO ANCHORS / BOTTON TIEDOWNS. It's just FLAPS around in the wind!! This not noted anywhere on the web page and since my husband already mounted it to the wall and threw away the packaging I guess just have to figure out how to make it work! OH, I don't know about the other but this one has a cheap plastic rod along the bottom so any tension on the 2 ends of that rod (i.e. anchoring it down) will cause it the bend or break. I am HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED in Coolaroo and Home Depot!

Cools temperature!

Hung this from soffit outside a room that faces sw and is in full sun all afternoon making it feel warmer than the rest of the house. Went up easily (although with the 8ft one you really need two people to attach it to the brackets) and secured it with bungee cords to the ground. Makes the room feel much cooler without making it too dark. The roller also works really well. Definitely worth the extra 30 bucks over the pull down version which got lots of bad reviews.

[Rewarded Review] Coolaroo Shades are the Best!

I purchased the Coolaroo 8’ outdoor roller shade, sesame color, to install under my deck for privacy. I love this product, as I purchased another Coolaro shade for the same purpose over 5 years ago and it is still in wonderful condition and has not faded. I do have a small hole where it has scrapped the ground but it is not a product defect. Watch that product is well secure in breezy conditions.

[Rewarded Review] Nice shade for keeping out the heat.

The shade was easy to install with very clear instructions. It rolls up and down nicely. It is not as see through as my older shade yet when the sun is full on it, it lets light in without letting all the heat in. It is fairly light weight and does come with tie downs but where I have it placed there is nowhere to tie it down so it blows quite a bit when it's windy. Lastly, be prepared to struggle with opening the shipping tube. The heavy duty tube was a beast!

Theses blinds worked great for my wife and me on our screen porch. We have been shopping blinds for a while and I saw these at a client's house. The screens block enough sun to get rid of most of the glare. I would have preferred a little more blockage, but these will do.

Easy to install but do measure carefully. My shade usually rolls up slightly uneven, but it's fine. It really reduces the amount of heat entering through the window which is a big improvement, and that's what I wanted. It doesn't reduce the light intensity so much since it is a light-colored shade. One of the darker colors might be better for reducing the light more if that is a goal. I wish the shades came in custom lengths since 48-inches wide extends well beyond the window frame, and a narrower shade fitting the window better would look better. I have now bought three of these for 3 west-facing windows. The one I bought last year weathered the winter just fine, though I might take the shades down this fall to make them last longer, but there has been no noticeable degradation so far. The Coolaroo shades come in different versions, some blocking more UV light than others, and some without the bottom anchors. I suggest not getting the cheapest since lack of bottom tie-downs would cause the shade to flap in the wind and the higher-UV filtration versions will be more effective and should last longer.

This is my fourth coolaroo shade which completes filtering the sun on my patio. In the summer it probably makes my patio at least 5 + degrees cooler with the shades down. I put the shades down far enough just to block where the Sun is going to hit on the patio. The shade comes with Hardware so that you can lock in the ends of the bungee balls so it does not flap in the wind. This was a selling point as it does get windy here so moderate wind is not a problem. If it gets too windy or it's raining I roll the shades up. I've been very happy with the quality and in this case how it was shipped to me in a very rigid tube. Two of the shades are about 3 years now and they look as brand-new as the day as I purchased them. I had to order the last one online as they did not have it in the Home Depot store. Shipping was free and like I mentioned it was very well packed in a huge cardboard tube. My neighbor installed them for me each time and it did not take very long.

This product is fabulous! It arrived at Home Depot in a timely manner and was damage-free. My husband put them both up on our new porch in under an hour using a tape measure, level and drill and of course following the directions. One thing we liked was you can mount it straight down such as from the ceiling or at a 90' angle, which is what we did. They are easy to use, the wand/handle is great for raising or lowering and the tie downs deflect light wind and rain. I can't say how they would fair in a really bad storm, we won't take that chance and will roll them up, as suggested. We have had them for a few months and they are terrific. They provide the privacy we were searching for from the street view and block the afternoon/early evening full sun from the back of our porch. They were very reasonably priced at Home Depot (compared to some other stores) and they had a great selection. Our expectations were exceeded and we will be purchasing more for the house. Don't think anymore, just get them!
