Something to consider: a friend bought the same kind of shade, but they ride in tracks on either side. I don't know what brand they are, but that would be my preference. Ours bang a lot in the wind, even when they are hooked into the attachment points. With tracks that wouldn't happen.

Ours are four years old and still look great.

When we ordered ours from Lowes I also ordered additional anchor points from Cooleroos Web site. When they installed ours they added the second anchor point free. We keep them at the half way point unless we want total privacy then we lower them all the way down.
