not very sure the material, it looks like some kind of stainless steel coating on it, it's only good for small area around 100 sq.feet.

Amazon sent me this question. Not sure the material. It is mesh. We bought a white one first that did not give any shade at all. The blue did give better shade results but not dark. Sorry that is all I can help.

It is a plastic tarp-type material.... not super thick, but reasonably heavy.

The fabric seems to the a treated material not sure if nylon or light canvas type material. Is not plastic, seems to hold up well. When the sun finally ruins this one, I will try to buy this same type again.

Shades are plastic actually. And it is not very study one. Funny enough, there was warning in the package that don't use bulbs over some wattage, otherwise plastic will melt :). The poles are some metal, not sure if it is brushed steel.

Its seems to be a light canvas/nylon material. Very sturdy. We use them all the time when we go riding our ATV's. We have been caught in rain storms and no problem to the items inside. Good product.

The shade is made of plastic; the support rod is metal. I believe the base is a very durable plastic.

The shade is more of a tan, but light and very neutral. It is really nice and the lamp puts out very pleasant light. It is bright enough but not overpowering.I am very happy with it.

No. I think it is made of a fabric called Sunbrella. It doesn't fade and shades very well.

It's a plastic composite of some sort...very durable and thick. It has provided just the right amount of shade but still allows sunshine brightness. It's closer to a Sunbrella-type fabric used on patio umbrellas, but with a more open weave. That's the best that I can tell you...someone else may be able to give you more technical information.

This shade, # 5200-29, is crafted from a heavy plastic that is made for lampshades. There is a satiny fabric on the outside. The "paper" shades are made the same way. Choose the fabric or paper shade according to the surface you prefer to work on. The lampshade does not have any wattage restrictions on the package. We suggest using a lower wattage bulb. Safety also dictates than any lamp not be left on unsupervised for an extended period of time.

The shades are round and they are plastic to hold their shape but appear to have a light fabric laminated on the outside for a quality appearance. You can't tell until you actually touch the inside of the shade.

I did not purchase the lamp shade so I can not answer that, but I will tell you that the quality of this lamp is poor and I received it with on pane of glass broken.

It's actual fabric and it adheres to the panel next to it. It does provide complete shade. It actually can get hot in the "room" that it creates because coverage is so complete.

This shade has a white styrene (plastic) lining. Sincerely - Wisconsin Lighting

The material is "very heavy" weave. I live three blocks from the ocean in central Florida and am very pleased with the shade. A wonderful by-product of the material is that is does not mildew and dries quickly. The first umbrella lasted almost three years (salt rotted the aluminum) - and I replaced with the exact same - getting multiple years from the same umbrella is wonderful. - the quality of the material and the shade is perfect.
