Have there been any issues with the crank handle style of shade? Will install two shades, 8' and 6' in 14' 5" space...any install issues to expect?

No issue with handle. Top bar end about 2" to edge of shade so I guess total dimension for 8'+6' will be 14'8"?

I had no issues installing mine at all. The only concern you may deal with is if yours is outside like mine. I put mine up attached to a metal gazebo on my deck. I was able to attach the knobs at the bottom to my deck so it doesn't blow around in the wind. The "crank" is a cord with little plastic knobs that hangs down about 3 feet. Again if outside it will blow around from the wind. I was able the devise a way to anchor mine. At times we leave ours down for days at a time. Does a great job at blocking out the sun. All in all it has worked out perfect for us. Good luck.

You have 5" between the shades, more than enough to put the cranking rod in place. You need to have a convenient storage space for the 2 cranking rods. Shouldn't expectany install issues.

todate no issues with crank handle as the shade is cranked down and up daily, installation was very easy

you can do not install the shade, but it doesn't look complete, not nice...it's better this way how you see a pk, but if you need something without shade, better look for something different.

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

This looks like a great shade for my modern style house. I am concerned about the view from the bottom as I want to put this on a very high ceiling and no information provided covers this detail. Is it bare (to the bulb/fixture) or is there some sort of diffuser? If so, is it nice? As to fixture hardware to you suggest the recommended pairing off the website? It looks like the max drop would be 3" for base, 15" for rod, 10" for shade = 28 off the ceiling.

You make the bar the correct size and can peel the shade down to match the length of the bar. Very very simple. Corrects only the width of the shade, not the length.

The crank handle just fits into the eye and you turn it to lower and raise the shade. Easy. The cords are part of the unit to secure the bottom of the shade when it is lowered.

I had the same probem. I call amazon and told them that I didn't get the shade. They send me the light bar and shades. And they paid to have the other light bar sent back

I live in Kansas, and mine are exposed to the weather, but are attached on my deck on the inside beam. You might leave them in place but cover with plastic through the winter. And take the handles inside or they will begin to rust where the screws are, as mine are starting to do. Otherwise I love my shades.

The shade is mounted between 2 brackets and it rolls down with a long handle located at the right side. There is no clearance above the shade that is needed. You just need room to mount the brackets on each side and need to account for about an inch that the shade is above the top of the brackets. Hope this helps.

I didn't put it together, but my husband did and says that the handle does easily come on and off. The shade comes off easily, also, but that is it as far as tearing it down/folding it down for transport.

do not know because we have not tried a sunwall. Love my octagon shaped tent shade but I have not measured between uprights . They seem to be about 6 ft. apart?

Hi Jeff. The shade measures 16 x 11. The shade is 11" long. I am very pleased with mine. Package and shipment was great. Good luck!!!

I have no idea. We bought ours as a single unit, and would not have a clue where to get just the shade.

Yes, our new house has what I would call an "eyebrow" window that is 82" wide, 8" tall on opposing ends, and 16" tall in the center. A very strange shape to describe, but it looks nice over the 3-window installation below it.I had my dad help me and we were able to hold it up when we were both on ladders and put it in place. We cut it rectangle first, then after it was up, took scissors to it and trimmed it to fit a little better. Then at the end, used the installation cutter to trim to a perfect it.

The shade cannot be made narrower, as there is a minimum depth needed for the shade to be installed. Minimum depth for installation is 1-1/4" and for flush installation 1-1/2" is needed. The shade width can be trimmed to fit smaller windows. The 48-inch width can be trimmed to fit window widths 32-inches to 48-inches. Lastly, the length of the shade cannot be trimmed; for shorter window lengths, the fabric will stack nicely.

Yes this shade is a perfect fit. Rolls up for storage. We were very pleased with the product.

Yes, physim was right. There are two locks on opposite corners and they're both on the right when you look at the long sides of the shade. I had to push somewhat hard at first, but I've gotten used to it now and it's no big deal. Hopefully your pet(s) enjoy it as much as mine!
