When the shade is pulled down, do the left and right sides want to curl in or does it hang straight?

It hangs pretty straight. There is a bar attached to the bottom of the shade which keeps both sides even. There are two sliding hooks attached to the bottom of the bar which allow securing the bottom of the shade to a study object (patio post etc) to keep the shades from flapping in a breeze.

I kept mine straight. This is a very good brace. I have heavy thighs and have problems with braces curling but this one does not do that

I live in a very windy area and my solar shade is holding up well. I left a little slack when I put it over my over the top of my pergola to give a little on the windy days.

it comes up from the base. But I dont reccomend it because the shade isnt attached and wobbles everywhere and drives me crazy ;)

I use small hooks like you get to hang coffee mugs on. We turn the hooks down and adjust the shade so it is taut. This works real well. We did have a problem a couple weeks ago after some very STRONG winds went through. The shade came loose at the bottom and we had to do some repair work, but it is now hooked back up and working great. These shades are wonderful.

Depends on the orientation of the electrical box inside the wall, and whether the two screws that hold the body of the light itself will line up. Additionally, the shade itself is only anchored in one place, on top, to hold it in place. You would put a stress on the opposite end with nothing holding it in place with the weight of gravity.

When you tighten the shade, the corners will form somewhat of an arc. The corners are not in a straight line and therefore I would say no.

very easy to install. It will take 4 holes, two per side. Yes, you should find something that can handle the weight of the shade, especially in the wind.

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.

The ponytail is straight, and I have never tried curling it. Looks a little delicate for that...

I swings in both directions. It is well worth the money. We had no where to hang towels and this was the answer. It is heavy so make sure you use good anchors when installing.

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

Yes, the fabric can be pulled to the side, but the window will still have a mesh-type material on it. It is see-through, kind of like a screen.

You'll need to accordion fold them up. It works. We folded up several folds and put the clip in the middle of the shade. Then we pulled the sides down to meet in the center and clipped the two sides together. Think of an upside down fan. It looks pretty but hard to explain. Doing this little maneuver, let's some light in while maintaining privacy. Reduces the amount of up and down of the shade.

The shade has a round flange but that unscrews and then tightens to secure shade. Light bulb pushes into socket.

Yes it does. It also tilts to one side for afternoon or morning shade. It works very well and is made to last.
