Configure Your Custom-Made Wave Shade

Finally installed the two sets of shades after putting off the installation a few months. There was certainly no need to wait that long, as the installation was much easier than anticipated. I got both shades up and operational in a little under 2 hours and 15 minutes. I built a large pergola last year and really should have hung these much sooner! It feels about 15-20 degrees cooler under the shades now that they are installed. They look nice. Nothing super fancy or elegant, but they fit in with my pergola and garden very nicely. If it is windy, these are going to slide on the wires. We got them at a very tight setting, but there is still some give to the wires as the shade is extended. However, they are staying in place nicely even without the white guide tape that came in the box. My brothers forgot to install that piece. Whoops! Anyway, shouldn’t be hard to unlatch the shades and put the tape in place. But without it, there isn’t an issue. These shades are so much more reasonably priced than any wind sail or shade company that will do a custom job for you. I’m talking thousands of dollars in savings for something that will get the job done just as well! I’ve got one weekend of use under my belt and I am a happy camper. Will check back in if there are any issues in the future or if the shades continue to do their job.

We have been on a search for backyard shade options. We went through a couple options but finally came across this one. These are amazing!!! They were a little hard to install - we had someone help us to ensure they were secure but I'm sure we could have done it. It is amazing to be able to open and close depending on the temperature. The color was yellowish biege that fit perfect for our space. The product comes with long black rod/hooks to close the shades - very easy to use! Overall, this is perfect for outfoor spaces that need a flowy/shade option that you can open/close easily!

I bought 2 of these to cover our 12 X 16 pergola. Set up was overall pretty easy to do. It is nice that you can change the length of these by cutting the fabric and reattaching the hardware. I had to cut about 4 feet off ours to get the sag we wanted. We also used extra clips to connect the last section to the far u-bolts when it is open so the wind doesn't blow it back towards the other posts. We used the same clips to fasten it when it is retracted, so the wind doesn't whip them around or damage the material. Had one rain so far, and they kept the water out. So far we love them and they really spruced up the pergola.
