Now that both of our west facing shades have been installed, we enjoy evenings on our deck with the direct sunlight efficiently blocked. Both shades are readily lowered and raised, and the elastic loops at the bottom hold them in place in windy conditions. Installation was a challenge, partly due to the inside bracket design and the wrong width of one shade. The screw holes on the brackets are too close to the right angle bend, such that any ordinary power drill cannot drill straight into the framing. We must have erred when measuring shade width because one shade was 1/16 inch too wide, making the inside mount impossible to accomplish via the instructions. We finally came up with a way to depress the spring-loaded rod and insert it into its bracket last instead of first. Another shortcoming is that the instructions do not say anything about the factory installed 'stops' on the chains. There should be a bold warning for the user to leave the stops as-is, since they pre-set the specified shade length. The instructions do clearly specify how to mount the chain tensioner device, but should also state that there must be sufficient clearance for the 'stops' to pass through the tensioner during normal operation; verify this before drilling the mounting holes.

I surprised by the turnaround so quick to get my order. The ordering process is very straight forward, "what do you want to cover measurements"?The fit was absolutely perfect. The light emission is perfect. All elements added a new atmosphere to our sunroom. I installed our shades myself making the instructions simple and straight forward. Our neighbors love them.

We love our shades however, we needed another post in the center of our pavilion to anchor the i side corners. My husband came up with the idea to use a 2 kg (-5 lbs) weight attached to the ends with strings. Even with a good breeze, they work great,

The blinds are exactly as advertised. Great quality. Measurements were perfect. I was kept informed of the entire process all they way to delivery. The price cannot be beat when there is a 50% off sale. The blinds block out sunlight but still allow you to see out. I do recommend the bungee tie downs for outside blinds. Absolutely worth the extra cost. I will be buying more soon.

I ordered my Blindster blinds for my new house back in May 2017. I installed them myself easily and they all fit perfectly. I was so pleased with the cost and the quality of the blinds. Now, almost six years later, they are all still in great condition and working perfectly. I am completely satifised with my purchase. Now I am going to order an outdoor shade for my patio area.

This is our 12th purchase from Blindster, but it's our first order that included deluxe exterior solar shades. We are very pleased with the quality as well as the ease of installation that we've come to expect from our previous Blindster interior deluxe solar shade orders. Thanks!
