  • Really nice Blinds

    Just purchased and installed these blinds onto my food trailer (which is stationary, not on the road) after the metal awning began to fail. Very easy to intall, and easy to roll up and down. We are happy with the quality, seems like it will withstand the elements. Note that I WOULD HAVE GIVEN 5 STARS if I had been through a winter season, but not yet. Otherwise I am super happy with the product. Great job Blindster!

  • Solar Shades - Good Product but Beware of Measurement

    Solar shades are good quality. Measurement provided was 81 1/2" wide for two separate shades. Total measurement of each shade was 82" including cap covers. Due to this, these two shades mounted next to eachother are skewed off center.

  • Performs as advertised

    The outdoor blind we received performs as advertised. The fit was perfect. My only complaint is the chain is all cheap plastic, which I did not expect on a $500 outdoor blind.

  • Beautiful

    The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was it was cut exactly to the measurements given leaving no room to install how it was measured to be installed. The installer kinda mickey-moused it in so I could still use it.

  • The shades fit perfect. They were easy to install. The one thing that I was not happy with is the stops on the pull cords stop the blinds short about 7” of rolling all the way up

  • Nice, but overpriced

    The shade works fine. It is well built, but it is way overpriced. I'd like to buy more, but I just can't justify spending that much money on outdoor shardes.

  • Great solution to a sunny afternoon on the deck

    The blinds themselves are very nice. They block the sun but also allow us to see through our mountain view. There was a problem with the pulling mechanism and they immediately sent us a replacement. Their customer service department was very helpful in placing the order, I helping with installation and sending the replacement part

  • Screened porch upgrade

    We are very happy with our solar shades. I removed a star because the chains are a little flimsy. The handyman who installed them for us had to finagle a bit because the supporting beams weren't square—nothing to do with the quality of the shades but something to keep in mind when you are ready to install.

  • Nice Shade so far

    I've only had the shade for a couple of weeks, so don't know about longevity, but it seems durable. It was made to my specifications and fits nicely in the spot I chose to keep direct sun off of my plants on front porch. I like the fact that I can roll it up for windy conditions. I am a bit sorry I didn't order the extra tie-down kit, as I am now having to invent one. The color is as described, and I like the amount of shade and privacy it provides while still allowing me to see out. Installation was straight-forward and easy, following printed directions and the online video.

  • Just needed slightly more adjustments

    Just needed slightly more adjustments on the brackets. Precise measurement are hard to do by the 1/16th. Need better explanation on how much play/give I had when ordering and ended up having to shave/ grind down the wood for the inside mounts. 1 caught some wind as I was rolling up and completely enrolled. You are currently remaking it. It does however block plenty of sun/heat making it considerably cooler.
