Is it good for blocking sun?

This product is very sturdy and practical. Yea I've used it to block the sun several times at the beach.

Except for the one umbrella that's SUPPOSE to block sun, they're all translucent . . .so they will diffuse the sun, but not block it. The one umbrella that's opaque and called a "sun block" does shade, but because the shiny side is underneath, light is reflected back up into the face, so is not a good "sun blocker". If you can see the upper section of an umbrella from beneath (as shown in the picture to your left) it does not block the sun . . .only diffuses it.

I don't see why not. It is not the largest of umbrellas but should block sun. The flaps don't let sunlight in. thanks.

It would be a good sun blocker. But it is not very large since it is a travel umbrella. If you held it close to you, you could keep yout face shaded and possibly your shoulders.

Not at all I hope that helps. It meant to block the sun and possibly help with cooler inside your home. I have not noticed a difference though after four months, perhaps when it gets hotter in ca. Best of luck.thanks.

I don't think so. If anything it blocked more Sun so I didn't have to constantly put sunblock on her.

Works more like a solar shade. Certainly lessens the effect of the sun but does not completely block it. I used it to make outdoor pillows. Had a piece left over and held it up to sun, hence my opinion. Hope this helps

YES... privacy and blocks the sun too. I really like it and it is NOT cheap looking like some I have seen.

This is the best I can answer your question. We got it to use in a camp ground to protect the car from dust, oak fog and cotton wood debris. It does the job and we consider it waterproof too. It was in a bevy rain Saturday night . There were a few drops laying of top of the cover but nothing wet underneath. And, yes, we feel that it also protects from the sun. Hope this helps you.

People can see through this. It's designed to minimize sun light so it is transparent. I'm sure at night time it helps, but any light will help to see through it.

this umbrella was great to block the sun. we bought a second umbrella at the beach and you could feel the heat coming through it. this one from amazon is great for cover and UV protection. u

I would not use this product to protect anything in the sun. I used it on 6 rocking chairs and after 3 years they literally fell apart. It is easy to apply and environmentally friendly but it does not protect

Hi GeorgeYes this will give limited sun protection. I live in Houston and it will help defray the direct sunlight on your plants. However be aware, as hot as we are in this neck of the woods, it will not be a 100% protection just help them from wilting in the direct sun. I use it on all my plants and it does help.

Yes it will. Does a great job keeping the sun off my face and neck. Be ready to chase if windy.

No, it is only good for shade. It is similar to a mesh and will allow rain to drip through. We use it for roof material on outdoor patio to shade.

My husband uses it under his bicycle helmet, to shield his bald scalp from sun coming through slits and also as sweat band. It is very thin, with a nice sweat band to keep sweat out of eyes and also has perforations to let air flow through.

It's not the best for sun since it's black. It works really well keeping snow off your windshield

We use it in our motorhome to block more sunlight in the morning. We put these up using little velcro tabs and remove the shades when we pack up or if we just want the windows open for a breeze.

Yes. I specifically bought to shield from heavy sun and I'm very satisfied.
