Customer Reviews for Coolaroo Montecito Cordless UV Blocking Fade Resistant Polypropylene Exterior Roller Shade 48 in. W x 96 in. L

Great product and would recommend to family and friends. The only thing is when selecting location of placement, you might have to get one custom made or either move one up or down from other depends on your project.

Seems well built. I like this one, as the hold down brackets are made of metal not plastic. It appears this unit is heavy duty and should hold up for years to come. Installation is a 2 man job.

We did both an outside “nook” doorway area and a patio. They look much more expensive than expected. They take the glare out for sure, small amount of light comes through. We love it. Got a local handy man to install, all of the Home Depot contractors were very unreliable and left us hanging so that was disappointing.

Perfect for my patio

Gives my back yard a lot of privacy now from my neighbors lol

We recently bought 4 of these to completely surround our patio cover. It tucks nicely between the beams. Since the patio cover is slightly slanted down for drainage purposes, the side covers come down at a very subtle angle. If yours is angled just pull it all the way out before installing to make sure you leave enough distance from the wall. Also the included bungee was too short to reach so we purchased some 9” ones with the ball at the end and that worked perfectly.

Great quality product and price was fair. Installation was easy. We had them for more than a month now and we can't be happier. The color and design enhanced the look of our little patio and most of all, they're easy to operate. Shipment was fast and we received them in perfect condition. I will surely recommend this product to family and friends. Thanks Home Depot for carrying good quality products like Coolaroo.

Great quality and great price. I actually used it inside to cover a 10ft window wall. The room is very bright and having a crank shade made it very easy to block a large area and have a completely open view when retracted. The shade does let light through and you can see through it somewhat.

Since COVID I have had to workout in my garage. I have to leave to garage door open to let my kids play out front in order to get a workout in. Recently caught a man filming me while he drove by. I needed a privacy screen that would be dark enough so others can’t seen in but light enough for me to keep an eye on my kids. I also needed the height to be adjustable. I bought the pewter color in the 72 in x 72 in. It was perfect. As long as the inside of the garage is darker than it is outside, you can’t see in. It even works on cloudy days as long as I don’t turn on the garage lights. Now I can workout in peace.

The side of my screened in porch gets direct sunlight in the afternoon making half of the porch unbearable and super heating the entire porch. At first I was looking to get 2 separate shades (one for each window but there were none that fit 65" W x 9 ft H each) so I tried this 120" x 96" and it worked out perfectly. It covers the majority of the opening and you don't even notice the exposed edges. It looks and works great. Installation was a breeze. Of course it is best to have two people to install this especially long shade, but I managed to do it myself. I installed the right bracket with the clutch then measured the length from screw to screw and installed the left bracket. Tip: I duct taped the end of the measuring tape to the right side bracket then measured and marked the left side. I then inserted the right side into the clutch mechanism and snapped the left side into place - easy. I did a top mount so I had to rotate the clutch and left bracket 90 degrees but it was a piece of cake. The installation was flawless. I was amazed at the light weight small diameter of the rolled-up shade. It looks very neat rolled up and the shade does not bow in the middle (likely due to the aluminum shaft). The crank mechanism is smooth and works well. It takes a relatively small effort to open and close all the way but it works quite well. The shade really cuts the heat and glare from the sun. Very happy with this purchase. I considered a custom shade but simply could not justify the high price.

Jost perfect for what we were looking for!!! Thanks!!

We'd been looking for blinds for a while. However, most did not have a finished look (with a valance) or were cost prohibitive for outdoors until we found these. They were relatively easy to install, inexpensive and had the valance we were looking for. Our pario has cooled down tremendously. Great purchase.

Works well and easy to install. Got 5 of these to shade our porch from strong early am and pm sun.

Excellent product, just what we needed!

Great product. Perfect for sun blocking and privacy.

Really pleased and satisfied we got this shade. It was easier to install that I expected. Although 2 persons would have made lifting it and holding it in place easier, being a little creative, I was able to complete the job by myself. The open/close mechanism is solid and smooth - seems like a quality product. The shade is attractive and works well to block the sun on our patio. I'd definitely buy it again.

Love the way it looks but wish it blocked a little more of our Tucson sun

The shade was very easy to install (although the screws and anchors that came with it were too short) and very good quality. The entire install took less than thirty minutes, but it is more efficient with two people to hold the ends to fit the roller shade into the brackets. The brackets have screw slots which makes fine fit adjustments extremely easy. The mechanical crank wand works smoothly and quickly to roll the shade up and down. This shade has turned my hot southern Utah patio into a very comfortable dining and relaxing space! The estimates I received from "shade/awning companies in the area" were thousands more than this quality 90% UV protection shade.

I bought this to hang from my backyard patio in order to block the intense early morning sun. It works wonderfully!! It dropped the temperature in my kitchen by at least 20 degrees!!!

Excellent quality, easy to hang, very nice looking and very effective!

Installed on outdide wall of Lanai screen to prevent rain coming inside to wet furniture. Shade is always down. It holds up good for last few months during rain in Florida. Will roll up during storm or hurricane.

Purchased this roller shade to add to the balcony, but within the shade completely warped in less than week. Images attached. Thought it may just be a quality issue so I purchased a second one and the same issue happened. Called Coolaroo customer service and they said that they would reach out, but haven't heard from them for several weeks now. Highly do not recommend

I took down our prior shades about 3 years ago when house was painted. I have missed them! Was having a heck of a time finding something like this. I remember when you had the ones with the line that you could disengage the feed and they would drop and were easy to pull up. I guess they were discontinued as they were a hazard to kids. The motorized ones are far to expensive for me so these were a great find. I originally wanted white to match the trim but these look really nice on my gray and white house. Very pleased.

Overall looks great from a distance. Up close there's scratches on the side covers, probably a manufacturing defect. It makes the product looked used, but I have it hidden up against a corner. Get it from the store if you can, I waited a month and a half tip have it shipped, about a month longer than estimated. They used a company called NonStopDelivery, they don't update their tracking so you have idea where it is. I would but another one for the other side of my porch if I ever saw it on sale, but I'm not in a hurry. Remember if you are in a hurry, grab one from the store.

My husband installed this on our west facing dining room window about a week ago. That afternoon we could tell a distinct difference in the temperature inside the house. We’ve been able to bump up the thermostat a few degrees, and the house is still staying cooler. I have two more ordered for other windows on the same side of the house. These were easy for my husband to install using an electric drill and a few hand tools. Total install time was about 30 minutes.

I installed two of these shades on my patio in the hopes of reducing the sun exposure. Not only do they do a great job at reducing the sun, but they help to keep the patio cooler throughout the day and they’re easy to install. I’ve even noticed a significant impact inside! Definitely recommend!

Great item for an easy fix for wind, sun and visual barrier for deck or patio. The crank is easy to use but sometimes it is a challenge to get the hook into the roller loop. It is easy to install and very sturdy.

East install, exactly what I was looking for. Great product.

I bought two of these to put side by side for our West facing porch. They make a huge difference in the temperature of our porch. We easily changed it to a ceiling mount and installed both. However, the lengths were not the same. When both are unrolled to the max length, there is about a 1 in difference in length.

Easy to install, and looks amazing !
