Does it block much harmful UV? Can you get low-cost hardware to attach it from the hardware store? Or do you need one of those kits?

It's supposed to block 95% of UV rays. The Shade Sail comes with large D rings at the corners and 3 pieces of nylon rope. I just hammered a couple of nails into the face of my front porch to hook two of the D rings and tied two pieces of the rope together to tie the 3rd end to a Palm Tree

i think lowcost hardware would work fine. i purchased just some small hooks. i actually was unable to use mine though. the corners on the triangle are too sharp and i was unable to make it work against my house. and i tried many different positions. i would think the square one would work better.

I'm not sure about the actual UV Rays, but it does create great shade. We bought a nice color rope to tie it up with. We're very very happy with this cover. Janet

Yes, I got our mounting hardware (3 turnbuckles, 3 eye hole screws, 3 carabiners) from a hardware store for less than the mounting kit they sell on Amazon. As far as UV rays I couldn't say. It does provide some nice shade. Hope this helps.

Not sure if the basics have UV protection. You would need to use outdoor rated screws and broads.

Tyvek's UV protection of it's regular building material only lasts abt 180 days - so this, which is lighter and softer but also more flexible, would probably not be a good choice for UV protection and in a wind would eventually tear if under much stress, I suspect.

Well it doesn't work well at all IMO but I doubt it's any worse with a UV windshield. Besides... Aren't all windshields UV protected?

It's meant to reduce glare so it helps a bit. I haven't used it outside or in extreme or harsh sunlight so I can't really say but near a window it seems to work fine.you should also be able to contact the seller if you have any more questions they may be able to help you further.

It provides a little shade and I would assume the covering blocks UV rays but I'm not 100% on that.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I've thrown away the boxes they came in, but I remember lots of symbols and remarks about the product on the outside of the box. However, I don't remember about UV protector.

Doesn't claim to block UV rays. I don't think that it has UV rays. It is a short blue light wavelength and is used for seasonal affective disorder or (SAD). People who get depressed or have less energy during the winter months when there is less sunlight often use these to decrease the SAD symptoms. I use it in the winter months and like it a lot.

Takes a standard 77mm UV filter. Not sure if it creeps into the image. I can check.

I applied it to a cold frame early last spring. I live at over 3500 feet altitude, therefore I get a strong dosage of ultraviolet radiation. During the winter months the material became brittle due to the radiation and broke up. This is a good material for the price but it is not resistant to ultraviolet at this altitude. I do have a greenhouse that I covered with a ultraviolet resistant plastic that is god for four years but the price is much higher. If you have a greenhouse which is easy to cover the warp brothers material might be the best way to go. If you prefer not to recover it every year I would suggest buying a resistant material for longevity. You might check the material offered by "greenhouse megastore, growers supply or Charlie's greenhouse" for price comparison. I hope this will help you out. If you have any other questions I will be glad to give you my input.

It works better in warmer weather, and you usually do not want to do it in direct sunlight. In the final step, you cover it with the plastic square and then you want the suns UV rays shining on it. it only takes a few seconds for it to harden.

Yes. i bought for this. It has UV protection. Unfortunately I have not yet had the opportunity to use it.

According to the company, it "prevents harmful uv rays" but I don't have the equipment to test that.

Just wrap tape around it. I actually use the wrap to prevent sun scald in the summer.

Hi there, it's an excellent screen protector. It uses an adhesive of some sort to keep it in place. There are no bubbles and very easy to install. It will absorb reflections which is the reason I needed it. The picture quality will be affected slightly by this, but its not worse than any other brand offering a reflection free display. It's also like 40 dollars cheap than "power support"

I never tested it so I am assuming the UVB passed through since it is a thin plastic and I would have hoped the manufacture did test that. Also I felt it was safer to have a protective barrier between the water and the light tube just in case. UVB does pass though plastics and some glass but may be "diluted" or refracted and depending on the thickness and the clarity of the material it can be blocked completely. Also UVB does dissipate with distance so you need to read the details to ensure it is placed appropriately. Hope this helps....

The UV-protection is for the prolonged life of the plastic, it's not nearly enough to stop plants from growing. My setup is in an area where it gets a lot more shade than I'd care to get and everything still grows great.
