Will use for black out shades in window. Want to take the shades down each day. Will it install and come down daily?Or does it have to stay in place?

It should probably stay in place. Otherwise you'll have scuff marks on the walls all the time.

It is a tension bar so you could take it down daily. Don't know if it would weaken over time from that. It did mar our white window frame when we adjusted it's placement...

They can be taken down daily, but they leave black marks on the walls when putting them up and removing them. you're going to be doing daily touch up work and wall cleaning.

It is an extension rod so can be put up easily and taken down. I use lace curtains on it so don't know about the weight of black out shades but have had no problem with it staying up with the long length of the rod. I do find that it does leave black marks on my walls so you might want to coat the ends.

You could take them down daily, easily, but it tends to leave black marks on the wall. Also, this particular rod can't support heavy blackout curtains. You might be better off with a traditional curtain rod and a U- shaped bracket if you want something temporary.

The rod is a "tension style" rod (very similar to a shower curtain tension rod), nothing permanently attaches to the wall surfaces; daily removal possible.

I didn't see how it fit at first but it made sense when I put it up to the window. It rubbed at first but doesn't now. Been on for over a year. Hope it helps-

If the window has plain glass and your artscape is applied properly, it should stay put. I think it will look great on a sky light.

If I'm thinking correctly of what your windows are...I think you would have to take it down each time you open them. But, it has velcro and is very easy to take down and put back. I got an extra strip of velcro and use it in a Different spot when i need to. (Before I just buy another one)

This shade should be perfect. It's also very nice looking and easy to clean... just use a lint roller. I love mine.

Yes, it's like having a dark shaded window. The bad thing about this product is that we didn't like their Velcro that came with it to apply it to the door frame, and we went to the hardware store and got industrial strength Velcro which was much superior. We takes our down over the winter, it went back up last weekend after a quick rinse off with the garden hose. My dogs are experts at going to the center and pushing their way thru the mesh but for them we removed the magnet at the bottom because it will catch the bottom of the door frame, (the magnets just clip to the fabric and removing them does not destroy the fabric.) Be sure that you leave the mesh curtain hanging loose at the center so that when you put this thing up too tight the magnets will not be able have room to close. We've used these mesh screens for years, and can go about two years on them. The set comes with two sides. We also add some washers to the bottom of the screen for a tiny bit of extra weight (I sew it on) and that helps the curtain remain straight. We also stapled the top of the curtains to a thin wood strip (in pleats) so it sits up over the door frame, we screw the wood to the door frame top edge and that way there is no "pulling" the curtain down accidentally when you step in or out. We then use the Velcro down the sides.

Didn't melt for me in the AZ summer, but I also didn't leave it on the dash out in the sun without a sunshade on my windshield all day long. I keep it in my center console and place it on the dash when needed, takes 3 seconds and I believe that it extends the life of my investment. I would imagine that if you left it permanently on the dash under the sun the rubber would harden and loose it's "stickyness" within a couple of months which would render it useless, and yeah it may even melt but I am just speculating.

If installed properly it does stay in place. I find my self using it almost daily while driving

I had mine up for a few days (getting ready for a party). It will only partially block sunlight, it's just a semi-thin plastic material. It's very pretty but not practical for long term. It's funny I should receive this question though because I can actually point you in the right direction of something that will block out all light. I recently purchased 3 'Shift Shades' for my kids rooms. They're simple and not much to look at but they block out all light all day long!! You can look them up on Amazon, but I bought them directly from their site because it was cheaper. Hope this helped.

I'm looking to use this as a drop down shade. So I wouldn't use the side arms, I would just let it hang straight down. 2 questions, 1 how long is this in total length from top to the bottom of the like 6" flap that hangs from the end of the awning? 2 Will this work for just hanging down without the side arms. My area isn't really too windy so not worried too much about it swinging around for if it did I could make some other adjustments to secure it. Thanks

Like a sunshade, rain runs off but still drips in heavy down pours. Would not want to leave it down if you are not around, wind could take it. But its a great way to get on shade, for not a lot of money.

I have the natural light shade. It doesn't block all light out like a blackout curtain. I do live on a corner street and have car headlights all the time. It does keep most of those lights dimmed at least.

The bottom part just slides into the window and the top part hooks onto the window. You would put the window down part way, hook onto it then roll the window up. It works well but the problem is all shades are rectangular and all windows are different. It works well for my wife and I in each of our cars but the sun still finds a way through.

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.

You have to have screws to hold the shades in place. I have the shades you are talking about that I purchased from Amazon and they came in 4. That was how many I needed.

very easy to install. It will take 4 holes, two per side. Yes, you should find something that can handle the weight of the shade, especially in the wind.

Clean the area above the windows where the shades will be installed on. Pull off the backing off the adhesive strip. Make sure you line up the shade before sticking in place. Press firmly repeat for each window.
