DIY. How To Hang Outdoor Coolaro Privacy Sunshade. DIY. 

Beautiful 👍

Love helpful DYI videos like this! Helps keep the stress level waaay down--very important. None of us need added stress. I'm sure the instructions that came with the shade would have driven me crazy. Well, I'm off to install my sunshade, and feeling pretty confident thanks to this video. 😊👍 This is a very sincere thank you for making this video.

You give me hope, the hubby and I are giving it a try...wish usluck :)

Thankyou very much on instructions on how to install the roller pin into the idle end plug with that little plastic insert. Did not know what to do there and the Coolaroo instructions leave a bit to be desired in that depsrtment. Good humor always appreciated

I cut the plastic handle off the crank and hook it up to my drill for automated roll up/down. Works great. Just make sure the drill isn’t on high speed.

Pretty Cool! Thanks! I love how you're so cool working with the kids playing in the background.

I appreciate the instructional video, very easy to comprehend.

Just bought one! Thank you for this video!

Great video!! I am going to Lowes and buy two today for my patio, I was looking at the one at Costco but I like this brand better, it is about 20% more but I like the crank to fold and hang straght, the one at costco is a permanent bend and will not hang straght Put a small hook on the side of the wall and it will hold the crank out of the way when not in use Cheers

Mahalo from Hawaii! Finally some easy instructions!

😎 Cool 😎 Thanks for the help.

Thanks, seems very easy.

Great job on the video saved me a lot of time with my installation. Thank U

Great video. Thank you!

Thanks Jonah!

Thank you for the excellent video 😊👍

Very Helpfull :) thx

Thanks installing 3 tomorrow

At 7:10 - You can see that there is a dove tail on the piece that fits into the the dove tail slot on the holder bracket. Once that is placed into the slot it becomes s spring loaded lock, the pin in the shade just snaps into place from the front.

You're awesome thank you God bless

Very helpful

Ty you made much easier

Thank you!!!

Thank you

very helpful

Cool editing 🤟

thanks for your helpful video🙂 Deserve ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Great video! I have a cinder block & stucco finish. I think I need cement screws to anchor unit. Also, what is the longevity of the shade, and the plastic hardware that comes with it? Thanks.

Great video. Question for you: So my patio is stucco. Do you think this will work on a stucco wall?

Nice vid. Thinking of buying it. On the inside of my patio I have lightbulbs so I can't put the coolaroo there, however I could put it on the exterior surface. Would that be a problem?

Hi great video, wanting to use this as a roof for a pergola. Do you know if this material is waterproof?

Can you install this on a cieling? As apposed to a 4x4 going across and mounting it on its side.

Mahalo!

What happens if u get a warm breeze but the sun is shinning, how do u stop the blind from blowing or moving, is it secured at the bottom, or is it just weights holding the blind from strong winds or breezes

At what height would the crank become impractical? I want to hang a shade at 12’ height

I want to install these blinds 1 feet away from my exterior way so that it can block the heat the sunlight. Can I install the two end units under the eave rafters? The rafters are not strictly horizontal but with some angle. Thanks

So I just installed the 10' shade. Thanks for the great video. Did yours have a bit of a sag because of the weight/length

I had to hang mine pretty high so using the crank is impossible without a stepladder. An instruction on how to add a motor would be wonderful.

Yeah that's the way I would have done it, the instructions in the pamphlet are completely misleading that and the fact they give you drywall anchors and say you'll need a f******3/16 drill. Who the hell installs a 10ft outdoor sun shade into drywall?

My patio is at an angle that from one end to the other are about a 12 inches to a bit more. Any DIY ideas how I can put a roll away wall to protect me from the elements of the wind or rain when I'm using my patio in the winter and then remove it or hid it in the summer?

Can the anchors be used on Stucco?

Not the correct way to install it. The locking clip on the opposite side of the clutch/crank is not to be taken out. You install the bracket where it’s supposed to go then push the plunger past the lock clip (which has spring retention) and then pinch it to pull the plunger back out if you want to remove it. Sorry I just couldn’t leave it alone - this should literally take 5 minutes to install

Sometimes predrilling the hole is better

I just installed 5 of these today and a strong wind came up and blew two of them on the south side out of the brackets somehow. Can’t figure out how. Any ideas?

Hi, How has the shade held up? Someone who reviewed it on Lowes website said their melted & ripped from hot sun rays

It's Coolaroo, with two Os at the end. It would have been nice if you showed the finished result in its entirety, commented on their effectiveness and if you are happy with them.

do you know the width of the hanging brackets?

From where I get one of these please?

From where can buy it

What if one side for bungee cords don't reach???? Help

there is another youtube video which shows how to modify the crank wand, so that you can use a cordless drill to raise and lower the shade.

I’ll need the instructions since I want to install mine hanging from ceiling if my Lanai. You have make adjustment to the both brackets they are not very clear. Ex. Remove 4 screws? There only 3 screws 😅. Thanks though.

Aloha - Hi or Good bye 🌋

will these work on a 10 x 12 metal gazebo?

The lack of pilot holes gave me anxiety

Always drill pilot holes bro.

What if you have metal railings

Measurement is what? Pilot holes prevent "butterfingers"

Lightning on the video sucks

the left side snaps into place. you don't slip it into a hole!!!!!!!!!!

I want to finish watching this but I've had to watch 4 ads within the first 5 minutes........
