Coolaroo Mediano Shade Fabric

Very nice shade cloth that I used for our pergola. We live in the southwest, so shade cloth is a must to have some reprieve from the sun. I will say the color is off, it is more of a red than a terracotta. It still works for me, so I decided to keep it. I used the wood fasteners that are recommended by Coolaroo. The material is also easy to cut and to make it the size you want. The dimensions given are correct, plenty to cover a small pergola. Overall, it offers adequate shade, holds up during high winds with the Coolaroo fasteners, and still looks like new after many rainstorms. I have purchased Coolaroo products before, so I am sure this shade fabric will hold up over time. I have attached a few pictures of the shade cloth on our pergola. You can see that i cut the fabric in half. You can also see that the color of the fabric is red, and not a true terracotta. Overall, I recommend this product based on the value and performance. I checked other distributors and Amazon had the best price for this size. I am happy to have some shade under our pergola!

I purchased the fabric to cover a ledge over our front door that became the favorite hangout for all the neighborhood birds. The meeting mess left behind was unbearable. Now the area is covered AND immediately much cooler in the house. I tried it out on the storm door and side lights and I'm more than impressed. I can see out and nobody can see in even if standing right in front of it. I'm confident that the heat from the morning sun will also be greatly reduced. I was able to sew the material, used double-sided tape and duct tape. I'm so grateful how easy it was to work with it and I'm looking forward to the next installation on the back patio. There are so many applications and the price was terrific too.

i am impressed with this product. No rips, easy to grommet edges for mounting. I have had a piece of this up for a whole year, not one issue with it. Direct sun 6-2pm, all weather, and debris from leaves, etc tend to blow off of it. I use it on my pergola. I purchased a large roll and was going to use it for the sides but decided against it. The edges do tend to curl/roll up after being cut so I put grommets/eyelets in the material and did a double fold. a little PVC glue and the edges are super tight and flat still. I still have more but am hoping it goes the 2-3 years it's rated for.

DH made a dog run that is covered top and sides with this shade fabric. It gets loaded with autumn leaves on top, but they are easily removed with 2 minutes of leaf blower use from inside the run. Squirrels climb the sides and scamper across the top without causing pulls or holes in the fabric. The Coolaroo sides and top roll up for the winter, as the dog run designer believes that heavy snow might bend the Schedule 4 PVC pipe frame. I believe the shade cloth would survive a load of heavy snow just fine, however. We used the special clips made for shade cloth along the edges. These clips hold short bungee cords which are then wrapped around the PVC pipe. During a nasty storm last month - one that put a big tree branch through the roof of the house, knocked over a heavy glass patio table and moved the umbrella out onto the lawn - the Coolaroo-covered dog run remained intact. We are very pleased with the quality and appearance of this outdoor fabric.

We use this fabric over a back deck, installed over a deck cover framework made of vertical 1" x 12" beams spaced about a foot apart. No, this fabric won't filter as much sunlight as a solid patio cover, but I personally enjoy some filtered sunlight on our deck (for plants and such) and also being able to actually see a little bit of the sky and clouds through it. Also, given how inexpensive it is compared to the construction of a solid cover, it's great! It also holds up extremely well to even the worst Colorado weather conditions ... including brutal sunlight, extremely low humidity, hail and even having snow piled high on it for days without tearing or permanent warping. It's also relatively easy to install and, if past experience is any indication (this purchase was a replacement of a previous one), it lasts for YEARS! The last installation lasted about 6 years and we only replaced it because a house painter accidentally damaged a section recently when he accidentally put a foot through it! My only caveat (and it's our fault) is that, if we had it to do again, we would have purchased the higher density fabric (Coolaroo comes in a couple of densities, and we thought we were purchasing the same one we'd had previously) so it would filter a little more, but we still love it!

This is a good product. We used it for our balcony since it has rails and you can see into our apartment. We wrapped this around the rails 2x and it definitely has given us a sense of privacy. You can't see as much as before. You'd have to really look inside to see past the product. It's sturdy and long.

July 8, 2016: I needed to make skylight shades for my four big skylights. I made frames using pressure-treated 2x3s and wrapped this fabric around and attached it with shade fabric fasteners. Initially, it made the room significantly darker, but after getting used to it, the room is still well-lit but feels much cooler. Yes, the fabric is see-through, as in you can see stars, clouds, the moon, etc., but the fabric weave is definitely noticeable from the inside of the house. We don't mind. The cut down on the glare and heat is very noticeable, and using the fabric was much cheaper than buying professionally made skylight shades. The fabric is in full sun for much of the day, so we'll see how it lasts exposed to the elements.

Buen material

Great product, we used a staple gun to fasten the shade cloth to the rafters in the ceiling of our greenhouse and it was enough to cut the heat, it is no longer an oven in there. Product arrived in perfect shape and on time.

We hang this off Our RV Awning to help block afternoon sun. Works great and now we can enjoy the deck without scrambling to find relief from heat. Also great as a privacy screen. Works well when used with Camco party light holders and texton tarp clips. makes putting up and taking down a breeze.

Awesome screen! Much thicker then the other screens we’ve used! Easy to cut with sharp scissors & looks real sharp! Thank you!

We bought 4 rolls 12x50". Attached it 12 feet up on the sides of our arena. Keeps snow and wind out of the arena. A wonderful addition to our arena which has no sides. Gives us privacy from neighbors and lets light in. Highly recommend this product.
