does it provide shade

The roof panels are translucent.............. so they will not provide complete shade; you will get diffused sunlight similar to the effect of frosted glass.

Hi Thomas,That's a good question. If there is a way to fasten it yes. We put it on a metal grid mesh with grommets and zip ties. It certainly provides the much needed shading.

Yes. I was not able to install mine, as I could not operate the shade if installed. Found out well after the return time.

Yes. It keeps the sun out on the side where you hang it...my toddler grandchildren enjoyed naps on the beach in the shade for hours.

also, you would need to provide shade if being used outside in warm weather on a very temporary basis. It is normally meant for indoor use.

It did provide shade adequate shade and is pretty roomy inside but if its really hot make sure to let air circulate.

I feel it lets through a lot of the light. I only have two bulbs in my fan fixture. It's not super bright but it wasn't with my previous shade.

Yes. I really do love this as it gives the cats shade or sun, and you can have one side down to protect/shade the cat or all sides open. It is easily moved around even with my cat inside. For a temporary use- not to leave them in all the time, it is great. Pretty well constructed. This will be the second year I use it. My cat likes to get into it when I have it inside also.

The underside is not black and it does provide good shade. It is a excellent product. Highly recommended.

It does. I got it to install under a trellis shelter. The top is open so I had to put a makeshift cover over the top to keep rain out.

I believe that most people consider the canopies are most helpful as shade providers and, in general, are used at times when it isn't raining. I did experience one time when my yard sale was rained on. Rain water did collect some above the side bars, but water did not penetrate through the roof.

I think it did. If we had put sides up on the canopy, it definitely would have helped the heat vent through the top. The vent also allowed the wind to blow through the roof without uprooting the poles, and without letting the rain in. I think it is a plus in the design.

Yes it comes with a shade, but the shade is not good quality. The burlap is separating from the frame.

no ... but a very cool product of which we bought a second and overlapped them to provide the coverage we desired. The shade may have equal sides ... but it seems to me that one side is slightly greater in length.

Shade works Well, still good hat for the brightness of the day helps. There is a full bar across the back you can get it on and off by your self.

Virginia, I ordered this shade for my parents. Not sure if they came with instructons but I imagine it does, especially if you get the hardware. There were no complaints about any complications putting it up. I can tell you from what I've seen that it covers a decent sized area.
