Coolaroo Outdoor Roller Shade / Blind - install and review
Buy shades here: amzn.to/3JR1lq0
Installed this in about twenty minutes on our back patio. Really easy. And really effective too! So glad I put this up, as it means we can sit out now without getting too hot or getting sunburn.
This model is the Wand Operated version, in "pebble" color. This particular one blocks 95% of UV sunlight.

Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this video please consider subscribing to my channel.
Many thanks to your install instructions, especially how to put the roller pin into the idle end with the plastic plug part.
Wish you had shown some of the drilling process and how the bottom could have been anchored.
just got mine today. I believe you can adjust the hanger’s position. And you could hang it “up side down” like how you wanted initially. Behind the backplate, there are 3 screws, untight them to adjust the direction.

Good to know
Thinking about installing this on the inside of a sunroom to keep heat and UV down.
Just installed this exact same shade, but as a top mount (pull down). There are a few screws on the back of the brackets to change the orientation of the mechanism. You can also change the wand control from right side to left side. Hope that helps you, since you wanted to instal it "upside down" but thought you couldn't. Probably too late now though :-)

Yeah, as soon as I saw it mounted I knew that bracket was adjustable. lol. I've mounted lots of blinds and they all have multiple ways to be hung/attached. Inside corners, top mount, side mount, etc.
Glad you shared this. Thank you.
As a Spanish speaker, im still laughing at the name. It’s hilarious. Whoever named it has a sense of humor.

Looks beautiful 👍
I probably would have done it on the inside but looks good!
Thank you for the video.
Is there a reason you installed it with the wind handle on the "outside" rather than the inside where the seating area is??

Yes, because then it would hang down next to the pillar and block access to the pool. It's a tight space

Can you pick which side the crank is on?

Yes! You can
Are both sides of the shade the same? Or is the back side the only UV blocking side? (I have installation issues and may have to install the other way around, with the outside part of the roll facing the sunny side.) Thanks!

Both exactly the same on each side. You can use it the other way round for sure

You can tie it down, but yeah it's not ideal when it's anything more than a light breeze.
You didn't even show the install. Wth!!
Are you talked about was your Florida room? You didn't say anything about shades
I wAnted to see you roll it down not cut, roll down and then film.
You need new fascia boards bro

@@ScottAllison I think she meant snapping the shade into the mounts. If it’s like a normal window shade - one side into a hole, the other into a slot - that should be easy enough. But it would have been helpful to show that.

This was more of unboxing. I needed more detail info about how to modify the brackets so you can mount it from the ceiling. The instructions are vague in the box.
