It blocked the sun. I used it as an animal shelter and it kept rain and sun off the animals. With sides it gets humid and warm, but it is a nice shade.

yes it does! we love it - my daughter-in-law has used it for a shower in her back yard with no shade. she was very happy with the canopy!!

yes...but, I have sides on mine & it can be warm under there. without sides, maybe not so much.

Yes, it does. It won't cover entire window, but covers almost. It has to be used to side windows. This protects from sun pinch, not to block light.

Yes. It is small enough that it blocks the sun and i scoot it a little more back so it doesnt block my side mirror. Have been using it daily and it does work for sure

It's some kind of thick, strong synthetic fabric. Since it creates shade, i would think it blocks UV but I don't really know. Light does come through it, just softer and more muted.

It's made very well but it is somewhat sheer. I live in central florida and have quite a bit of full sun in the yard. It does filter light well and has held up under our weather conditions, which includes a lot of rain as well as brutal sunlight. I recommend as to longevity but not entirely as to providing full shade, if that's what you are after. It works great for us though. We have a dining set from the same company, it has withstood very adverse weather conditions beautifully.

Not at all. We even added curtains on two sides, to block the sun at certain times of the day, and it is lovely to be out there at any time. Love it.

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

It dapples the sun a little bit but isn't really meant to be a sun shade. There are better products out there if you looking for something for blocking out the sun.

I haven't noticed any wear from sun. It has held up very well. It was in the middle of a wide open yard and had no shade at all. It is very well made and solid.

not really. it would block out the sun, but not some thing that you can really see out of.

It has tiny pin holes. If you are in the care you can see through it quite reasonably . It shades effectively from the sun but is not opaque. It's the most effective sun shade I have found for my daughter. And it allows you to Open and close the window at least haft way without any problem.

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.

I feel it dulls the sun. Like I said, light is still filtered through. It isn't harsh light, but it doesn't block out the sun.I may sound silly saying this, but take a dryer sheet or two and hold it up to the sunlight that you're hoping it dulls. I will most likely have that effect if you buy this. I have 2 of these up around my bed since I am sharing a room. I can say that I am not woken up by hard sunlight like I was before I got these.

Yes - able to see out day and night, and yes - enough privacy in the day. It blocks certain % of the heat from sun as well.

No it doesn't. But its great cause it helps cover the sun:) we love and so did our baby.

It does block rain somewhat...it's not solid and if the rain is blowing towards the the shade the deck gets wet within a foot of the shade. Hope that helps.

Yes, if you're to shoot straight up it'll block it but you can simple remove the shade. It's an awesome product.
