How deep is it? From pics I saw elsewhere, it looks like it won't provide much shade from overhead sun, just when it is lower in the sky.

Approximately 3 1/2 feet deep but with proper positioning it provides about six feet of shade.

the sun still shines through, but it dims it down so the rays are not as strong. I like it.

Just as someone here answered the higher you go the higher the area it will light up. I provided pictures for a 20ft pole but total is around 16ft of height due to in ground of around 3-4 ft. Do know that on cloudy days the amount it will last will be reduced. I am considering replacing and putting a dusk till dawn light in its place and re-installing on an area that is just too far for me to wire.

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.

They do make a version that stakes to the ground. This will probably put off more light than you will need as it covers a large area.

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.

it works on the shaded side of my house. but when it hits direct sunlight it will fall. also the wind makes it hard to control since it's a small copter.

it gives a pretty good shade under it but it is not too big so if you buy only one then is only a small triangle that will block the sun

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

It will definitely not be enough light, IMO. Light does not penetrate very deep and the light itself is not very wide either.

I am very new to air plants. I'm trying to learn without killing them. But I do have mine where it gets a pretty good bit of indirect sun light. I really haven't had mine long enough to give you a good answer.

Hello Becky, I think the depth of the canopy was 14" It looked really nice - but just to warn you - if you buy an EZ up make sure the warranty will cover you. I had a lot of trouble with the struts breaking (right in the middle where they joined other struts) and E-Z up said they couldn't accept the warranty because it was a Sam's Club product but we bought it from a vendor on Amazon. Needless to say the vendor didn't reply to my e-mails and Amazon apologized as they couldn't help because it had gone past their 90 day guarantee. I only sell at Fairs and Festivals about 4 times a year and the problems started appearing the second time I used it. My son was patching up the struts with metal rods until we decided to just throw it away and I have just ordered a new canopy for the start of the season. I hope this helps

I can't answer that because I live in Hawaii...it's sunny here nearly every day. I have the unit mounted under the open beam ceiling of my patio so it doesn't come into contact with the elements except the wind, if anything. Sorry I couldn't help much.

It did not keep under gazebo dry. Used it more on side where afternoon sun hit. We ended up covering gazebo with frosted plexi glass roofing to keep rain out

This planter needs a lot of sun, I had it under a patio/shaded a bit and it did not do well but in the direct sun it's growing great!

Hi, sarann. I planted mine in dense shade with a lot of water and dappled shade with less water. The heavy shade grew profusely but didn't bloom much. The dappled shade were sparser but bloomed and that was the only area that had any come back this year. So you will see some growth regarless of how much shade they have. I wish that I had bought multiple packs and mixed them with seed starter or sand to spread them out more and get more coverage.

The solar panel is on top. The only one I found with the panel integeral to the unit.I have it installed on the West wall about 10 feet up. This is a two-story brick home with a big tree in front, overlapping this aide.I'd estimate that it only see's direct sun for ~3 hrs per sunny day.It worked immediatly. I've been showing my neoghbor, and he bought two for the West wall of his house.NO complaints.... Well made...You'll be very plesased !
