I'm trying to hang this vertically to cut the blinding glare from setting sun that is directly behind the basketball backboard,will this shade enough?

Depends on density of tarp, and degree of shade you're looking for, but it will cut down on glare significantly.

The pull-out view finder is small and not much shielding from the sun. Can try adding a rubber eye cup. Google in YT and check out how it looks to you.

I don't think so. It's a gravity thing. The shade simply has a nice evenly dispersed weighted sash for easy up, easy down. However, when we bought these for my parents windows, initially the intent was to hang them at the center of the windows, where they had installed a shelf for plants to sit in the morning light. If you;re looking for open space at the top of the window, but privacy at the bottom, as my parents were, and you have something to anchor the adhesive to(hence the shelf mid window), then you'd be able to use the shade for the bottom half of the window only. Hope this helps. They love it for its intended use. I don't think so. It's a gravity thing. The shade simply has a nice evenly dispersed weighted sash for easy up, easy down.

If put a shade on it, you'll cover the part of the lamp that is supposed to vary light intensity in order to support the sleeping cycle. If you're trying to cover the bright display panel, then your shade would have to cover the entire lamp. I can't see that the lamp would serve any purpose if you did that.

Hi Thomas,That's a good question. If there is a way to fasten it yes. We put it on a metal grid mesh with grommets and zip ties. It certainly provides the much needed shading.

Yes, it should....there are very very slight breaks in between the bamboo pieces that allow it to be so flexible. Other than that, it completely blocks the light.

I believe this product would work very well reflecting direct sunlight. Having a 1/4 inch bubble wrap middle, covered on both side with a shiny aluminum sheet, it is completely opaque, and should not allow any light to transmit through it. It should work very well for the purpose you intend to use it for.

Mine is hung outdoors, in a sunny location. It is there, rain or shine. I would be skeptical of hanging it in a humid environment in the shade.

I can't tell you for sure since it depends on whether you have a light-reducing coating on your windows... but... that being said... if you have a "normal, clear window" it should heat up about as well as it would if it was setting outside... another couple of things to consider are whether the window has any framing that might also reduce the amount of pure sunshine hitting it, or... if the window direction may limit the amount of time that it gets direct sun each day... my guess is... you're probably ok as long as you give it direct sun for several hours, without anything to shade it... Hope that helps!

No it would not block sunlight, though it would partially block it. It's made of a fairly thin plastic.

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.

We used it to cover our skylights. It isn't reflective but I guess you could make a shade out of it if you were an experienced seamstress or tailor. It would block bright light like one of those pull down shades you see at many restaurants.

I agree with previous comments. Guess it will depend on angle sun hits it. Mine is next to windows; I look out those rather than through the screen door mostly.

It would work great as a privacy screen. You might be able to see shadows through it but that's all. It really does block almost all the sun. We use it on a screened in deck to block the afternoon sun.

I believe so. We currently use it to hide storage items from view and it does a very nice job of that, you cannot see through the screen sections at all, so, I think it would block sunlight glares on a computer screen as well. It's truly a very nice addition to our office.

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.

I live on Florida and this screen protector will have not effect against sun light, you might want to look into a anti glare screen protector.
