I'm trying to hang this vertically to cut the blinding glare from setting sun that is directly behind the basketball backboard,will this shade enough?

Depends on density of tarp, and degree of shade you're looking for, but it will cut down on glare significantly.

It will be fine if panel is kept vertical facing south. it provides an amazing amount of light for as inexpensive as it is. We use it in our remote goat barn. You might want two for a 20x10 garage

It would block out some sun but not all, I wouldn't use it that way. It isn't made to anchor in the ground either.

Yup, Patricia! We tilt the sides or front/back down all the time, depending on the time of day and angle of the sun. Works very well to throw the shade and in some cases, extend the shade coverage.

Yes, it should....there are very very slight breaks in between the bamboo pieces that allow it to be so flexible. Other than that, it completely blocks the light.

The screens are translucent -- so if you have bright light, it will diffuse the light but not completely block the sunlight. I think it should work as a good block to keep the strong sunlight from "sunbleaching" fabric etc.

Mine is set up to get direct sunlight because that just happened to be where I needed them, but I don't think it was necessary. As long as it is not under shade all day it should be fine.

No it would not block sunlight, though it would partially block it. It's made of a fairly thin plastic.

It could work but remember this is reflective silver color if you don't mind blocking sun light this would work or if you cover the seams of the window by trimming it to fit this would work too. This product I would recommend it it works well.

The top of the side wall is attached to the frame via Velcro. So, as long as the shade is 10'x10' and it has vertical legs (not slanted), it should works.

I was making an outdoor backdrop. When it was early morning and in the shade with no back lighting it worked fine. But assoon as the sun would hit something bright in the background or the sun came out and hit the back it showed real bad. I did not test to see how it work if the sun was hitting the front.

It is designed to go vertically but you probably could. The shade slides into the bracket from the top and rests on a "base". If you turn it horizontal, you would see this base and there is potential for the shade to slide out. you'd have to secure the glass somehow.

obviously there will be some slack because of your dimensions. this is a great temporary cover. it will last you about a year for a waterproof cover, then a water repellent after that. the sun will break it down quickly. id recommend a good fabric sealer to spray on it.

We used it to cover our skylights. It isn't reflective but I guess you could make a shade out of it if you were an experienced seamstress or tailor. It would block bright light like one of those pull down shades you see at many restaurants.

I'm looking to use this as a drop down shade. So I wouldn't use the side arms, I would just let it hang straight down. 2 questions, 1 how long is this in total length from top to the bottom of the like 6" flap that hangs from the end of the awning? 2 Will this work for just hanging down without the side arms. My area isn't really too windy so not worried too much about it swinging around for if it did I could make some other adjustments to secure it. Thanks

It should. It hasn't slid off my normal window that gets a lot of direct sun.

If left in shaded area it will be fine, I got it for my twin grandsons and my daughter leaves it up all summer and it is fine, and she lives in Louisiana. Hope this answers your question
