PHI VILLA Outdoor Roller Shade 8' (W) x 8' (H), Patio Shades Roll Up, Wheat

These are fantastic! We ordered them to "enclose" our back porch from snow & rain. We take them off in the spring. You can totally see through them and they prohibited rain and snow from accumulating on the porch. Easy to install, with hooks on the bottom to keep from flapping with the wind. Material seems very strong and so far with winds at 30 mph have not waivered. Have gotten many compliments on them ! Highly recommend these for privacy as well, since looking from the outside, you only see shadows. Great purchase !!!

Shade can only raise and lower by chain and the hooks to secure it when down we’re not very strong

The reason I purchased these blinds is because I have a nice view from my deck, but I also have neighbors whose dogs bark if they see me in my own yard. So I needed a little dose of privacy that I could roll up and roll down depending on when their dogs are out. I roll them up when I want to enjoy the view and I roll them down when I need the privacy. I bought the dark coco color. They're beautiful when they are in use. These blinds are just blocking enough to give me the privacy I need, but I can still see through the mesh enough so as to not feel like I've built a wall to hide behind.Installation was very very easy. Everything was in the box, including screws.The only reason I gave only 4 stars is because one of the two blinds came with some damage to the hardware. It was not damage that would cause problems to form-fit-or-function, nor is it visible once the blinds were installed. Some of the hardware looked as if a previous customer removed the tags, maybe tried to install it, broke the plastic covers, packaged it all up and sent it back, and then I became the next customer to use the same blind. I did not call the seller. The damage was not enough to cause any problems, it just sort of seems like they should have sent me new hardware since I'd paid for new. All in all I'm extremely happy with the blinds and the ease of installation. They've only been up for one full day so far, so in a few months I'll update this review to share how well they hold up over time.

I bought 2 of these shade with different measurements. One of the shade came at a later date because it was out of stock but made it through nevertheless.The shades are decently priced, easy to install with satisfying result. I did hold back 1 star because the retainers for the bottom bar are not secure enough and can come loose.It's an easy fix with super glue. However, I believe the solution and the fix can be done at manufacturer level, not by the consumer.Also, with some searching, I bought Universal Replacement of Exterior Sun Shades Outdoor/Indoor Roller up Blinds (5-Pack Bungee kit with end Cap, Beige) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09LYGL7T6/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_4YA7Z1HB5WRT9NARY0R2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 to be used along these shades to keep it from flapping in the wind.

I ordered this one thinking it was the same as the ones I already had! This is a pull chain and I wanted the crank style and white fixtures where my others are black! My bad!

Hardware broke on the first windy night. I asked for a replacement hardware they had me pay for shipping and it took one month to get to me. Within two days the wind broke the same hardware piece again. This thing is not made well. I would not recommend buying this.

Very easy to install and blocks the evening sun from heating up our back porch.

I like the product a lot. I have bought it in the past. I was replacing another because it was too sheer. This one give the right amount of privacy. I also like the pull chain to quickly raise and lower it. The only thing that I felt was bad was the finish or lack there of. The sides of the blind are just cut. Like a pair of scissors were used and then the edge wasn’t sewn. The old ones were hemmed. I’m not sure how that will play out in time. Otherwise I love the grey color, it looks nice and it easy to put up and down.
