CURLING PROBLEM
I tried to save money by making my own 8' shades. Bought the Coolaroo clips and attached them to a strong wire my husband put up. They will not hang straight,(Probably because the fabric's bias is off). The edges are in a constant curl. I bought more clips, added them to the sides and tied them to the post. In between the clips the edges still curl. UGH! I gave two stars because the Coolaroo does make the porch cooler. If you plan on tacking the fabric down permanently and pull it tight you should be ok.
