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.

It could work but remember this is reflective silver color if you don't mind blocking sun light this would work or if you cover the seams of the window by trimming it to fit this would work too. This product I would recommend it it works well.

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.

If you mounted them outside of the window you would have to add a piece of wood at the top to hold the shade. This arrangement would work but not look very good. If you need an outside mount, buy a regular shade, not a pleated one, as that would look a lot better.

I got up on a ladder and measured. It is 72" and a smidge (less than 1/4"). That smidge may be partially because of the play on the hook part of the measuring tape. My shade is hanging in an open area on a front porch, not against a window. I guess it provides a slight shading, but the bright glare of the sun comes right through. I was hoping for shade like a patio umbrella provides, but this isn't it.

No. It's only a shade. You'd need to tie down items or purchase something sturdier/solid.

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.

Suspect it should. Am guessing you're trying to shade a child. It's just a matter of where you put the clips and if the window is fairly straight.

I am not sure, you may need an extra large shade. It is better to have a big one so it is easy to put up & stay up.

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

Not so much. It will eliminate most of the glare, but the brightness of the sun can still make it difficult to see the screen.

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.

It should. It hasn't slid off my normal window that gets a lot of direct sun.

Hi Rusty. I sent mine back because it didn't work for my application -- but if I had clipped it to the bars on my EZ-Up 10x10 it would have reached to the ground. It looked like a well made product but I needed more of a sun screen than this provided. Hope that helps.

I personally don't think it would look right. It is smaller than it looks in the picture (we used it in a walk in closet and it looks fine). I think if you were hanging a bulb from the ceiling, you would want a bigger shade, made of something other than plastic.

I would say, "yes", given the thickness of the canopy. It's very well made. Though since it has open sides, it would obviously not protect you from reflected UV, unless you buy sides separately. I set-up mine on a grassy field - no issues.

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.
