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.

I am not sure, you may need an extra large shade. It is better to have a big one so it is easy to put up & stay up.

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.

I live on Florida and this screen protector will have not effect against sun light, you might want to look into a anti glare screen protector.

I have installed this light near the front door which receives direct sun light. I can't be sure if it will work in place where it won't get light from the sun directly.

I believe this product would work very well reflecting direct sunlight. Having a 1/4 inch bubble wrap middle, covered on both side with a shiny aluminum sheet, it is completely opaque, and should not allow any light to transmit through it. It should work very well for the purpose you intend to use it for.

My shades are mounted at the outside of the patio ceiling away from the windows. I found bungees, etc. too much trouble. I took some curling ribbon cut two pieces long enough to go around each column next to the shade and ran each thru a tie down ring and around a column , tied it with a bow and now I can use one pull on the ribbon to untie it for raising and lowering the shade. I have to replace the ribbons every month or so. Curling ribbon costs about $2 for 150 yards.

I am not too sure what this question is asking. This cord is made for the stars and it goes inside hanging down from the ceiling...how would you use it? What would prop up the shade itself? If it is hanging down from a hook with a bulb pointed down I see no reason why not.

I don't think so. It's a gravity thing. The shade simply has a nice evenly dispersed weighted sash for easy up, easy down. However, when we bought these for my parents windows, initially the intent was to hang them at the center of the windows, where they had installed a shelf for plants to sit in the morning light. If you;re looking for open space at the top of the window, but privacy at the bottom, as my parents were, and you have something to anchor the adhesive to(hence the shelf mid window), then you'd be able to use the shade for the bottom half of the window only. Hope this helps. They love it for its intended use. I don't think so. It's a gravity thing. The shade simply has a nice evenly dispersed weighted sash for easy up, easy down.

Sorry! I ended up not using it. It was much darker on my window than I expected and it was not the easiest to put on a 9 ft tall window. So I just gave up.

should be fine, but if it is windy staked to the ground would be better. It is a great canopy

With a conventional truncated cone shaped shade, a lot of light is reflected down by the shade so it works quite well. If you have a more cylindrical shade it may not be as good.

Yes, it will give a glare. However, the farther from the glass, the less pronounced it will be.

Yes, but it won't keep out rain. I suppose it could be used for partial shade, though some of the sides are mesh.

If you put it up using good quality fasteners and then remove the branches as they fall I would think it would be fine. I have had my shades up for a few years now and have had no problems

I personally don't think it would look right. It is smaller than it looks in the picture (we used it in a walk in closet and it looks fine). I think if you were hanging a bulb from the ceiling, you would want a bigger shade, made of something other than plastic.

I would say yes. I use mine to create a shade over my pool here in Nevada due to high 100+ temperatures. I don't mind a slight a slight sag in the middle. You can get the sagging out by using the correct screw brackets on each end to tighten the cover. I also use a fairly heavy set of 4 springs(one on each side) to give it a little bounce during the windy days.
