This product looks good in place and performs well, giving good shade but passing some sunlight. But, and it is a killer "but", the first indication of trouble was cracking of the butterfly ties. I wondered if bending the ties to close them in cool weather caused some sort of stress. I called the company and they sent me replacements. I put the replacements in hot water to soften them before bending, but several of the new ones failed in a few months.

The fabric has become brittle after only nine months; you can tear it with your hands or poke a hole with your finger. It is tearing at some of the attachment clips (installed every 12" per the instructions). I sent in a warranty claim and we shall see what happens.

The annoyance factor here though is the short life and the hassle of having to replace a 40' cover. I will try another brand.

Update: Easy Gardener has honored the warranty and is refunding my purchase price. The process involved sending the sales ticket and a sample of the material. Their web site says it takes several weeks and it did.

After on a few months I began to notice that the fabric was flaking, leaving a dusting of material on my patio set. Then it began to totally disintegrate covering my furniture like a snow of fabric dust. Update: Easy gardener said that it was from a batch of defective material and refunded my money for the material in January of 2011.

I purchased this item in tan two years ago to cover my succulents. Noticed this summer that it was flaking and crumbling. Read an earlier reviewer who stated they had the same problem. I have used shade cloth from Lowe's and HD for many years and still have some of it. Either I purchased better quality in the past----never noticed the brand before, or the formula for manufacture has changed. I am going to try the "Coolaroo" product and see how that works.

I love the color, the look and the shade provided by this product. Unfortunately, the fabric started disintegrating in less than a year and now it consistently leaves "snow" on my patio and on anyone who's attempting to enjoy a relaxing few minutes on my patio. Installing it was no easy task. Now, it has to be completely redone with a different fabric. I offer this review so that you might avoid a similar frustration.Easy Gardener 72012 Sun Screen Fabric - Saddle Tan - 6-Foot x 12-Foot - 75% Sun Block

Loved this product, I was able to cut it to what I needed and it covers the sun just enough to make it comfortable.

I bought this to keep out the light from my window as I work GY shift and sleep during the day. The only drawback is that it keeps the heat in the room and makes my room a good deal warmer than it would be if just left the window open and blinds down. Though that will be a boon during the colder months.

It's a good product. Easy to use. Fits well over a standard sized window.
