HOW TO Install COSTCO Koolspot Outdoor Sun Shade + HONEST REVIEW 

Thanks Man. I’ll do the same when installing mine. 👍🏻

I just bought this a couple days ago and was wondering how easy it is to install. You answered it! Easy! Thank you so much for creating this video! I'm installing mine on a gazebo.

So I mounted the brackets on a 6 foot - 1"x2". Two brackets, 12" from each end and 1 in the middle on the 2" side. Then, I screwed in 2 eye screws into the 1"x2"x6' top side, 12 " from each end. I used 2- 4" screw hooks, screwed into the patio cover header( in a smaller drilled hole), which is covered with stucco. This method allows me to slide the shade an additional 12" (left-to-right) from each side to adjust for the changing direction of the sun. Placing the end brackets further from the 1x2 ends allows for greater coverage. Also during winter or annual cleaning, all I have to do is lift up the entire shade attached to the 6'x1"x2", up and over the eye hooks, without ever removing from the bracket clips. Saves time unmounting and remounting.

Thanks for the info. I think even I could install this product.

The beauty of this shade is you can see out one side but no one can see in the other... if you have the right side facing the right direction!

The only thing I do not like is that the crank rod does not fold straght and hang down. For tis reason I will buy the Coolaro from Lowes, a little more but well worth it to me The price point is about 20% more for the Coolaro but well worth it! The good thing about the Costco brand is that the loop at the top for the crank is metal and the coolaro is plastic buy very strong, I doubt it will break and you can always go on line to order parts for both. I am buying mine today as a matter of fact and I was looking for comparason videos on both. Thank you for making this video, it was very good Cheers!

Really helpful g

Thanks, Greg. Just picked one up today at Costco and might install it tomorrow. I have the same type of stucco on my lanai so I guess I’ll be buying longer screws.

Thank you ❤

Excellent video. I was wondering how easy it would be to install on my pergola and it looks like it'll be a breeze. I'll have to go grab one before they're gone!

Looks good! You shoukd try to rig it an attachment for the drill and speed up the lowering/rising shade!

Please continue to make more videos

Thanks for the info! They are on sale at Costco right now, amazing price for the quality! I was wondering how to install on a metal gazebo?

If you do a wall installation does the tab on the bracket have to be “free” hanging? Or can you install the brackets up in the middle of the wall(board). How easy is it to unhook from the brackets?

lol. So weird. But I’m installing the same thing. I am also using ridged power tool, with my hat backwards grey shirt and green board shorts. …..wild.

Hi. I bought that same shade but I lost the brackets any Chana you know how to look for them. Cuz I been looking and I don’t find them ? Any link will help that k you

Just installed but I can't get the brackets to click. I've tried a screwdriver but no luck. Maybe I am not pushing down hard enough?

We live where winters are harsh (cold with salt spray)so we'd like to tak this down each winter. Is this easily done?

Is the lowering crank specific to one side?or can you flip the track around and won’t matter which way the shade is mounted?

Hi, can this be installed on an aluminum pergola?

👍🏽

I wonder how these compare with the Coolaroo Shades from Home Depot?

Thank you for the video! What is the tape for? I didn't understand.

Is it possible to customize the size of this? Obviously it's not designed that way but with some ingenuity is it possible?

How does it come off, if painstaking house

What is the item number?

What colour is this?
