I don't know about Texas but I do know about Sacramento and Placerville CA today is 4/21. The expected high here in the hills and close to 80 in Sac. High 80s next week and climbing, and its only mid April, so!!!!

It is a very thin piece of cloth so I do not think it would help much with sun. It is not reflective and might actually absorb sun.

I do not know. I wanted mine for winter snow and freeze here in Oregon. I sent it back because the magnets never held. They do make one like I used to have that one side is for sun and one side is for now. One side is black and the other side is Silver. Perhaps you could ask the maker of this one you are interested in.

No, not really. The US-market Rainfly barely comes down past the top of the windows and is about the same color as the top of the tent itself. In other words it doesn't provide much coverage and isn't light-colored enough to be really heat/sun reflective. And with the dark blue panels comprising most of the sides, the tent gets pretty warm in late afternoon during the South Texas summers. Oddly enough, I have found that putting up a pop-up canopy/awning (EzUp/Qwik Shade) on the west side of the tent really helps the tent stay cooler as the pop-up's shadow moves over it. I wish the US-market rainfly for the Instant Tent series had more side coverage and was a more UV-reflective color. I wish we got something more like Coleman's Australian-market rainfly - http://www.colemanaustralia.com.au/product/6p-instant-full-fly-tent/1271447?contextCategory=0102#.U1_ae_ldVws

No it is more of a sunshade and it has a course weave. If there is a light rain, it might, but not for long!

I used this sun shade last summer with excellent results. There are indeed grommets in each of the corners through which you can thread a rope to suspend it over your patio.

yes it will but I suggest placing it in sun for awhile this will soften it up and allow you to get it on

Not sure if you are putting it in full sun. Mine is in partial shade. So always nice, not too hot.

It would block out some sun but not all, I wouldn't use it that way. It isn't made to anchor in the ground either.

That I don't know. Mine is on my covered porch. It does get some sun, wind and rain but not out in the open.

Tx heat is close to AL heat and is close geographical weather, so yes it will. Also, if you purchase, since it is so hot make sure you really let the bike cool down (as much as possible) before you put it. Hope this helps.

obviously there will be some slack because of your dimensions. this is a great temporary cover. it will last you about a year for a waterproof cover, then a water repellent after that. the sun will break it down quickly. id recommend a good fabric sealer to spray on it.

We are in Central Texas and have the Stone. It has been fine on the 100+ degree days. It is in the center position on the middle row which helps because it is not getting direct sunlight. In Texas, the "Mommy's Helper Car Seat Sun Shade" is super helpful if you child's seat will be exposed to much diurect sunlight (can be found on Amazon and other retailers). The black plastic restraint clips still get pretty hot if not covered with a sun shade or small cloth. Good luck!

The top of the side wall is attached to the frame via Velcro. So, as long as the shade is 10'x10' and it has vertical legs (not slanted), it should works.

You get both. We live in Texas, and always wanted our little one protected from the Texas sun, so we kept the canopy on all the time. We love it!

Not sure, if it doesn't come with a sun shade. Just has the elastic cups to cover each end, & a instruction book.

it will work as long as you have a place to put it in the sun while it's warming. i use mine in the winter when it was about 20 degrees. i put it in a protected sun room that is enclosed in acrylic panels, out of the weather.

Mine is set up to get direct sunlight because that just happened to be where I needed them, but I don't think it was necessary. As long as it is not under shade all day it should be fine.

I live in Oklahoma where it is very hot and mine is doing very well. I do keep it in the shade. I was told not to let it be in the sun.
