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.

    Many thanks to your install instructions, especially how to put the roller pin into the idle end with the plastic plug part.

    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.

    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.
