We are looking for blinds for a gazebo with 15' wide sides - do you have blinds this wide?
Asked by Rick ·
Hello Rick, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we do not have shades this wide. Our exterior shades offer a maximum width of 115". You would need to install 2 separate shades side by side to accommodate this overall width.

Will these shades withstand the rain?
Asked by Ginny ·
Hello Ginny, yes, however, during heavy rains and wind we do recommend you rolling up the shade to help prevent damage. These shades are OK to get wet though.

i want to order 2 6'wided and need to mount from the top. is this possible with these units?
Asked by DENNIS K ·
Hello Dennis, thank you for your inquiry! Yes, you will be able to top mount these shades. If you order with a cassette, they will automatically require you to top mount. If you order without a cassette, then you would just need to turn the bracket in a way that will allow you to screw up. Please keep in mind there will be a little bit more of a gap at the top when you top mount these shades without a cassette.

One of the pictures appears to have a track that the solar shade comes down in. Is that correct?
Asked by Richard ·
Hello Richard, thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, there is not a track system available for these shades.

We just added a large screen TV to our porch and have a hard time seeing the picture when it's bright outside because we see our neighbor's house and the sky reflected on the screen. We ordered some 5% samples and thought the Chocolate Brown was the best match for our porch, but when we compared it to the Linen, we could see trees and the neighbor's house much more clearly through the brown than the linen. Does that mean we'll see more of a reflection if we choose the brown than if we choose linen, or would the darker color absorb more light and reduce the reflection even though we can see through it more clearly? With just a small sample we couldn't tell how much it affects the reflection.
Asked by Janice M ·
Hello Janice M., thank you for reaching out! The darker colors are going to absorb light and reduce reflection. You are able to see more clearly through darker colors than you are the lighter colors.

Looking for exterior motorized shade that will protect our screened in porch from heavy rains. As it is currently, rain with winds gets our porch wet. What do you suggest? Thanks.
Asked by Charles S ·
Hi Charles S., thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, we do not have a motorized exterior option available. Also, with these shades, it is not recommended to leave them down during storms.
