so my question is, are they really worth it? I'm almost tempted to buy the material off amazon cut three pieces and put grommets in them and hang them that way.
they called today and the color I wanted is backordered until April....so I have time to think about it.
does anyone use a different kind of solar shade? would an awning be better?
thanks for any input.

We have coolaroos that we were able to buy from Lowe's or Home Depot. They make 3 sizes to buy already made. Go on line to their website and see the sizes. Our cost for our entire lanai was only about $300. We have the dark brown shades. When looking through them you can see a shadow and they do a 3/4 job of blocking the sun. They seem to hold up well and we get them washed when we get our house washed. (These have been on our unenclosed lanai for 3 years already and still look good). They don't seem to fade that much.
