This create good shade?hot. We're going to attach this to metal poles on four corners. Not on wood pergola will it do well this way?

Make sure the metal poles are very sturdy or they will bend when you tighten the fabric.

The mounting is tricky and you have to improvise if you aren't mounting it the way it was made. My husband is very good at making things work in places most people couldn't. My suggestion is to contact coolaroo and see if they have another way to mount the shade. The shade is great and worth the effort. It's the only shade that we have had that can stand lots of direct sunlight without falling apart, plus, it looks good. kathyPS Looks like others know the different ways to mount the shade.

The light will clamp to a rounded metal pole BUT I you should not use it to support the hood or get it close to any fabric as it (and the metal part around the bulb) gets very hot and 'could' burn it. I can't touch it when it is on and it is even hot near the switch to turn it off.

You will definitely need some way of securing the 4 legs/corners of the canopy. I have mine on my deck and 3 of the 4 legs are secured to the spindles of the deck rail - and it has held up to torrential rains and heavy winds without any problems at all. But you will definitely need to have it secured somehow, either at the base of each leg or by the tie-downs at the four corners.

these lights are ideal for pergolas. and in fact are outdoor lights built to withstand the elements. so yes ! enjoy

If you put it up using good quality fasteners and then remove the branches as they fall I would think it would be fine. I have had my shades up for a few years now and have had no problems

I believe so. It can be tackled on corner at a time then raised one corner at a time. The trickiest part would be the extra awning piece but I think it would work! It's a great canopy. Have fun!

You could possibly attach but I caution that are no velcro tabs or ties on the bottom of the sunshade which if faced to the wind might not hold- all ties are on two sides with velcro tabs on top only. You would have to attach velcro tabs on bottom yourself to secure to the pergola.

It should have no problem with that, if its just for the lights, pulling from the grow room might make it hot by the 4th light, depending on grow room size, if your doing a other fan/s for that should work fine

My shades are mounted at the outside of the patio ceiling away from the windows. I found bungees, etc. too much trouble. I took some curling ribbon cut two pieces long enough to go around each column next to the shade and ran each thru a tie down ring and around a column , tied it with a bow and now I can use one pull on the ribbon to untie it for raising and lowering the shade. I have to replace the ribbons every month or so. Curling ribbon costs about $2 for 150 yards.

The area we used it in is very dense shade. Put it down and keeping it moist. Within a week and a half we have sprouted! The jury is still out though, but this looks very promising compared to other seed we have purchased.

I bought it for my grandbaby for Christmas this year so I don't know how well it will be for shade. There are several YouTube videos on this wagon, maybe they will give you a better idea on this wagon.

No the sunshade isn't really sturdy we had to anchor it with rope and a stake. But it would make an awesome ball pit, thanks for the idea �

What material is the shade made out of? I used this on a harder plastic and it worked great for myself. Although I'm not sure if the heat of the bulb would be an issue at all.

It needs 2-3 hours of solid sun per day. Without that it will not work. With that, quite good actually. If you plan to put in mostly shady area, it will not work. Remember, it's solar powered, you can't cheat.

Ours sits in the shade all day so heat is not a problem. I would assume that it would get hot in the sun if exposed for any length of time, as would all metal. We also put a seat and back cushion on it, so we may not be the best resource to answer the question. It is a nice unit and seems solid. We're happy.

Yes, but it won't keep out rain. I suppose it could be used for partial shade, though some of the sides are mesh.
