Sun Zero Valencia 2-Pack Cabana Stripe Indoor/Outdoor UV Protectant Energy Efficient Grommet Curtain Panel Pair

These were the thing that finally pulled our new patio together.I initially wanted them because even with a 14' deep patio, when the sun is low in the sky it was uncomfortably shining in our eyes. I was surprised to find they also somewhat insulate the patio when we pull them all closed and turn on the fire table. It's a noticeable difference in temperature, just enough to take off the worst of the chill. Keep in mind this is a California chill, they would do nothing against a real winter.We get so many compliments on these, they really are the perfect finishing touch that makes our patio feel like a destination resort. On top of being affordable and functional they just lend a really nice ambiance to the area. During the day they sway in the breeze and just filter the light if you close them. During the night when they're closed they make the outdoors feel cozy. They're the perfect weight, opaque without being heavy. There's a channel in the bottom to where you could run a chain if you wanted to weigh them down. We don't get much wind and I like when they fly around so I left them.

I ordered these to put around my outdoor cabana and yes, they are waterproof. The range just beads off and they don’t even get wet. They are beautiful. They made out of a waterproof polyester fabric. They are very tasteful looking they look expensive. I would highly recommend these as I have a very discerning taste level and these are way up there I would recommend them.

We hung these curtains on our screened porch in May. They look good, and they still look new.Are these as thick as Sunbrella curtains? No, but they don’t have the price tag either.They do blow around easily, and in storms they sometimes knocked stuff off of side tables.Inspired by another reviewer, I bought fairly heavy weather-proof chain at the hardware store to insert in the hems. The hardware store cut the chainin lengths equal to the width of the curtains.Here’s how I inserted it. I put in the chain with the curtains hanging. The hems are approximately 2 inches deep. Maybe a little more. Using a seam ripper I opened one end of each hem. I left a few stitches at the bottom and a few stitches at the top of the hems. Holding the hem so it is vertical, I held the opening open and fed in a few links. Once you get a few links inside gravity is your friend. The weight of the chain pulls it inside. I found it useful to drape the chain over my shoulder as I fed it in. Keep hold of the chain at the entry point. Smooth the hem with your hand. Control the drape as you lower the hem, and adjust so it is hanging to your liking. Once in place, you can fiddle with the opening you made and encourage the double fold back into place. Creases and the few stitches still in place top and bottom help. I didn’t see the opening closed again. It doesn’t seem to be necessary.

The media could not be loaded. I really liked these 84” long navy blue panels overall so did my hubby. We hung them w/ clamps and metal conduit cut free at Home D.Pros: price point, item as described, beautiful color, it is slightly darkening as described, no defectsCons: really wish stripes were on both sides of the panel, really really really wish they were weightedLiving on the lake in Texas I bought these to protect the back patio furniture from mild to torrential rainstorms thereby no longer requiring me to grab everything at a moments notice and throw them into the house.The quickly changing weather made it pointless to cover the entire patio furniture only to remove everything from day to day. The panels sailed 90degrees with very minimal wind. We bought 52” of 3/16 chain, unstitched about 1” opening at the bottom hem, slid the chain through and backstitched it closed by hand. (YouTube it) I used several large binder clips from the Dollar Tree to clip the panels closed. We’ve had 10-15 storms and so far so good though I had to tuck the panels between my deck railing and patio furniture additionally. Very easy to grab one end of the chain and let it slide the length of the hem to reposition it occasionally.

When you order these remember that you will be losing inches because when you pleat (fan fold) them they shorten from the actual width of 54 inches so order more than your actual inches needed are. I needed 164 inches so I ordered 6 to achieve an elegant pleated full look ( when completely closed ) but not too full or overwhelming. Then I ordered 2 for the rod that needed 75 inches wide. Also, at this price I bought 8 more because, after these arrived and I realized they were only striped on one side I didn't like the look from the other side it didn't look finished or as pretty .So, I bought the 8 more , took the first 8 drapes down and folded the new 8 drapes into the existing drapes. This is very easy to do you just face the non striped sides facing in at each other then fan fold the drapes as if they are one drape. The striped side of each will be visible on each side of the rod . Together , these create a much denser drape and become almost completely light blocking. Now, both views from the inside of the house and from the outside have the stripes. It's an absolutely beautiful relaxing beach resort look.

I really like the look of the curtains hanging on my pergola. The beauty of them looks top level spa/resort like. Wind blows them and they just ripple. I added a drapery weight in each corner, inside the hem. The weight is just enough to stabilize them. I bought 3 sets ( comes in a 2pk ) for the purpose of staying cool under the pergola. I'm heat sensitive and sunburn easily, so I'm grateful I can sit in a chair and not have exposure on my legs while enjoying my garden and fountain, and the butterflies and birds. These curtains cost less than my indoor curtains and come in 2 panel packs.
