Coolaroo shade cloth We live in Arizona! We bought 3 of these Coolaroo shade cloths in gray to match our house color. They are very nice. They shipped individually in tightly rolled and sealed packages. I opened and unrolled each of them; then I rerolled them much much looser and let them lay out, full length, over the guest room bed for about 4 days. We had to wait until curtain hardware came anyway. We installed curtain hardware on back porch. Then I cut one side of shade cloth to match our porch openings and hemmed both short (6 ft)sides. It was very easy to hem them on a standard sewing machine with standard thread even with material tripled – I folded material and then tucked end underneath of itself so it would look nice and there would be no possibility of fraying. Then my husband bought a grommet kit to install grommets. We actually hung the cloth with the longest length (15 f5) going side to side, as we needed the width on the porch and didn’t care if the shade cloth did not reach the ground – as we mostly wanted the sun out of our eyes and protect the furniture – plus the dogs could go under it then. The only problem we had was that the grommet tool we bought did not want to go through even one layer of the cloth, so we just ended up making holes with a screwdriver and then using the grommet tool. It worked perfectly. The shades are up, they hung out nice – no wrinkles, and sliding them on an overhead curtain track is so much better than having shades to roll up and down plus there are no mechanisms to go bad or rope pulls to rot in the sun and break. To keep the bottom from flapping in the wind, we installed a grommet in each bottom corner, put eyelet screws into the porch columns, and then got those clamps with a toggle clip, and we just clip them if there is some wind. When they are to the side we just bungee them to another eyelet we put into the column.
