Have there been any issues with the crank handle style of shade? Will install two shades, 8' and 6' in 14' 5" space...any install issues to expect?

No issue with handle. Top bar end about 2" to edge of shade so I guess total dimension for 8'+6' will be 14'8"?

I had no issues installing mine at all. The only concern you may deal with is if yours is outside like mine. I put mine up attached to a metal gazebo on my deck. I was able to attach the knobs at the bottom to my deck so it doesn't blow around in the wind. The "crank" is a cord with little plastic knobs that hangs down about 3 feet. Again if outside it will blow around from the wind. I was able the devise a way to anchor mine. At times we leave ours down for days at a time. Does a great job at blocking out the sun. All in all it has worked out perfect for us. Good luck.

You have 5" between the shades, more than enough to put the cranking rod in place. You need to have a convenient storage space for the 2 cranking rods. Shouldn't expectany install issues.

todate no issues with crank handle as the shade is cranked down and up daily, installation was very easy

In my experience, it was very self-explanatory. Not complicated in the least. Just decide at what point you'd like to anchor the shades and place the rings there. With the bungee ties, you have wiggle room to not get it perfect and it will still be great.

The actual unit is just a shade under 17" wide....I'm not sure where they get the 19" on the dimensions. I've bought two of these units and never had a single problem! Hopefully this helps you!

Hi David - The 8' wide shade may help, with 6" on each side. I don't believe Coolaroo makes a 9' wide shade,but whatever you get, I can highly recommend the Coolaroo UV sun shades - we put 3 up on our screen porch.The 8' one covers a side which is 11.6, because the 12 foot was too wide, and we did not want to spend $on a 10-foot shade. We put the 8' shade towards the corner where the sun comes up over the trees about3 pm to 7 pm, and it works perfectly. The other 3.6 feet are shaded by trees on the other end. The Coolarooare quality and very easy to install. JKF Hi David - The 8' wide shade may help, with 6" on each side.

It only takes about 20min to install. You could do it buy your self if you are strong enough to set it in place, put up the brackets and slide unit in, the 2 drop down bolts. It is so worth the money and gives you great shade when you need it. Make sure you close it if the winds are going to be strong.

I did not set posts. I built an arched frame over a trampoline and used it as a shade cover in that manner. I will tell you that the corners do hang out further than the center of the shade cloth and there is some stretch to the material in and of itself.Whatever the measurement is , I would allow an extra six inches in the pole settings and buy at least two adjustable straps to mount it with. You might want to check out Harbor Frieght. Also, a slight pitch will help you get leaves, etc off the top of the shade in a much more easy manner than a flat top. Good luck. It is a good quality shade! I did not set posts. I built an arched frame over a trampoline and used it as a shade cover in that manner.

I measured it and got the following measurements, these are all diameters in inches: TOP: 6"; BOTTOM: 18-7/8"; LENGTH OR SLANT: 12". Must say that I am very happy with this shade, it gives out a nice lighting effect in my bedroom. Originally bought for the living room but it was too short. Still looking for one for the living room, I obviously need 14 or even 15", so good luck to me! Hope this information helps you.

The distance between the pole and the middle of the shade is about 12 inches. I have not yet found a longer shade.

The shade cannot be made narrower, as there is a minimum depth needed for the shade to be installed. Minimum depth for installation is 1-1/4" and for flush installation 1-1/2" is needed. The shade width can be trimmed to fit smaller windows. The 48-inch width can be trimmed to fit window widths 32-inches to 48-inches. Lastly, the length of the shade cannot be trimmed; for shorter window lengths, the fabric will stack nicely.

There's a small cord housing unit that hangs at the bottom of the cord (2-3' from the top) and has to be screwed in to something to work properly (mounting hardware included). This caused a little problem for us because the shade hangs down about 8" away from the post the bracket is on so the cord is at an angle.

do not know because we have not tried a sunwall. Love my octagon shaped tent shade but I have not measured between uprights . They seem to be about 6 ft. apart?

It is a 4' wide x 6' long shade. If you do decide to purchase and install, be sure to follow the instructions and watch the on line video. They will provide some good guidance on spacing the brackets appropriately.

I installed using the canopy cover on the 6" downrod. The instructions say not to, but there is plenty of room for clearance. You only need a short phillips head screwdriver to fasten the top canopy as a result. Looks great...trying to figure out how to post my pic but doesn't seem to want to let me anywhere. In any case, it can be done.

Nothing comes with the shade. You will need a little bit of hardware. I went on the shade sail website and looked at different setups and seen how other people had theirs installed. I then put a list together to figure what I needed. I bought 2 6x6 posts 15 feet long, 2 turnbuckles, heavy duty wire, wire clamps, heavy duty eye anker bolts, nuts bolts and washers, every thing stainless steal. I spent around 60 bucks in hardware.

Sorry it took me so long to answer! The shade is about 60 inches wide when open, but there's fabric between the two spring-loaded pieces, so there's flexibility. Fits my 2008 4Runner perfectly!

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.

My shade is 8 feet wide, and may be different, but it does have a chain which rolls it up and down. If there is a 6 foot shade, I can't help on that one.
