Would you say it gives you more shade and blocks out more of the sun then your normal 2 x 3 slats put on a patio cover

Depends on spacing of slats but lets say theyre 2in apart that would be 50% shade at noon.I believe the fabric alone would do better than that.I put it on over 2x2 spaced slats and provides great shade.I also have a couple 12 x25 pieces to cover my trailer when in the desert.

Definitely! Provides a warmer shade than with the slats since air cannot filter through. It appears that it also promotes better plant growth due to its blocking of harmful rays.

We have both by putting the Coolaroo on top of 1X2 slats and really like it. See my review (CReview) on our installation. It is great shade and we can sit comfortably without the sunlight getting in our eyes as it went through the slats before.We have an outdoor fan to circulate the air.

I cannot answer whether it actually blocks or what % UV blockage it provides as i do not have scientific equipment to determine that kind of information. However, it did give nice shade, allowed rain to filter through, and tolerated some very strong wind storms. I finally took it down for winter when the first snow arrived and it was holding snow.

Yes. I put shade cloth over the top and 1 side for privacy. Works and looks good.

It dims the light. However if your wanting a total non see thru shade. This isn't it. If your a seamstress or know one. You could have an outdoor fabric attached to the inside view. And that would solve privacy issue. A solid color close to the shade color would be nice. Hope this helps ya out :-)It is The Best by far @ blocking out the sun... Couldn't sit on screen porch in afternoon before purchasing 2 of these.

it depends on where you live and amount of sunlight. Also whether or not you use a solar cover.

YES... privacy and blocks the sun too. I really like it and it is NOT cheap looking like some I have seen.

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 use our shades to block the morning sun on our covered porch. I don't know if you can see through them at nite.

Yes it will fit & you will be amazed at how well it blocks the sun & gives privacy. Very easy to put up & take down. The customer service is awesome as well. I received one that was defective & they sent UPS to pick it up & sent me a new one quickly.

also, you would need to provide shade if being used outside in warm weather on a very temporary basis. It is normally meant for indoor use.

It does not have a porch or awning so if you just used the tent itself, the shade provided when its facing the sun is not that much. We used a beach umbrella set up in front of it and it worked well, and it was easier to move the umbrella to adjust for the angle of the sun than it would be to move the tent (although the tent is also very easy to set up and take down to move).

The slats on this screen are close enough together to block a lot of sunlight, but not all. Hope this helps.

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

It's heavy paper so it blocks out direct sun, however, it does let defused light in. It is not a blackout shade. One of the reasons I got it is I have plants that can not take direct sun, they'll burn, but they do need light, this shade is perfect.

Yes it does keep the sun out. That is what it is designed to do. I have never put up 4 of them as I only ever use 2. If you were to use 4 and close all sides it would be somewhat dark inside.

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.

It's supposed to block 95% of UV rays. The Shade Sail comes with large D rings at the corners and 3 pieces of nylon rope. I just hammered a couple of nails into the face of my front porch to hook two of the D rings and tied two pieces of the rope together to tie the 3rd end to a Palm Tree
