This create good shade?hot. We're going to attach this to metal poles on four corners. Not on wood pergola will it do well this way?

Make sure the metal poles are very sturdy or they will bend when you tighten the fabric.

No way. This is very light stuff for frost protection. I use it for orchid shade. It will blow away in medium wind. What do you think it would do in a rain storm?

the Mesh doesnt affect the shade unless it is Morning or late evening sun, and that kind of light isnt hot like midday sun. For the price this is a really good Shelter...if your going to a beach be sure to use sand stakes...4 minimum, 6 if your going to be in winds above 35mph...with 6 sand stakes this thing isnt budging in a gust...we sheltered in ours from a squall that blew in on the Virgin Islands, with more than 25MPH gusts...

I don't think it's a silly question but I'm unsure. I haven't had mine that long and it sits mostly in the shade but I'd be surprised if it got warm. Again, I'm unsure. Love my bench though.

I gives a little heat, but I only use it outside on my deck. Don't expect it to keep you warm on a chilly evening outside... it's more for a light glow and ambience. Perhaps in an enclosed area it would warm the space.

it would definitely provide shade.... although despite the vent in the back, it didn't have a whole lot of air flow unless you were right near the front.

Mine is under a pergola (which is attached to my deck) and have never had a problem with wind. I actually have 3 shades under there and not a problem all season.

I put a different shade on it, and it works great. If you do get a shade, pick one with a small circular opening and the wire frame closer to the top of the shade rather than the middle.

I just don't know but really didn't want to just say that! I have to imagine there is someway todo this with research on the internet. Good luck, I love my pergola - don't give up on it!

Ours sits in the shade all day so heat is not a problem. I would assume that it would get hot in the sun if exposed for any length of time, as would all metal. We also put a seat and back cushion on it, so we may not be the best resource to answer the question. It is a nice unit and seems solid. We're happy.

It doesn't get very hot below, I've used it outdoors over a wood-chip path before with no concern. I'd be wary of plastic, but probably wouldn't be a problem. Luckily, heat rises!

My shades are mounted at the outside of the patio ceiling away from the windows. I found bungees, etc. too much trouble. I took some curling ribbon cut two pieces long enough to go around each column next to the shade and ran each thru a tie down ring and around a column , tied it with a bow and now I can use one pull on the ribbon to untie it for raising and lowering the shade. I have to replace the ribbons every month or so. Curling ribbon costs about $2 for 150 yards.

I am using mine to cover a patio not much larger than the gazebo. We get a lot of wind and it had held strong for almost a year but I don't know how well it would do out in a yard.

The area we used it in is very dense shade. Put it down and keeping it moist. Within a week and a half we have sprouted! The jury is still out though, but this looks very promising compared to other seed we have purchased.

I think it would. So far, I've only used it on pine. It heats up quickly. My major project is a clock--I just had to make up mind what I wanted on it! I'm going with a sun burned into the center.

I bought a rectangular shade with different measurements but i did go and buy turn buckles steel eyelets and steel caribeners at Home Depot. Utilizing these items allowed me to place the poles "close enough" and get the shade nice and taunt. Good luck!

I just put it on our's and it does light ip well. The shade gets hot with the bulbs that are made for them.
