We hung these curtains on our screened porch in May. They look good, and they still look new.
Are these as thick as Sunbrella curtains? No, but they don’t have the price tag either.
They do blow around easily, and in storms they sometimes knocked stuff off of side tables.
Inspired by another reviewer, I bought fairly heavy weather-proof chain at the hardware store to insert in the hems. The hardware store cut the chainin lengths equal to the width of the curtains.
Here’s how I inserted it. I put in the chain with the curtains hanging. The hems are approximately 2 inches deep. Maybe a little more. Using a seam ripper I opened one end of each hem. I left a few stitches at the bottom and a few stitches at the top of the hems. Holding the hem so it is vertical, I held the opening open and fed in a few links. Once you get a few links inside gravity is your friend. The weight of the chain pulls it inside. I found it useful to drape the chain over my shoulder as I fed it in. Keep hold of the chain at the entry point. Smooth the hem with your hand. Control the drape as you lower the hem, and adjust so it is hanging to your liking. Once in place, you can fiddle with the opening you made and encourage the double fold back into place. Creases and the few stitches still in place top and bottom help. I didn’t see the opening closed again. It doesn’t seem to be necessary.

Needs weights
I really liked these 84” long navy blue panels overall so did my hubby. We hung them w/ clamps and metal conduit cut free at Home D.Pros: price point, item as described, beautiful color, it is slightly darkening as described, no defectsCons: really wish stripes were on both sides of the panel, really really really wish they were weightedLiving on the lake in Texas I bought these to protect the back patio furniture from mild to torrential rainstorms thereby no longer requiring me to grab everything at a moments notice and throw them into the house.The quickly changing weather made it pointless to cover the entire patio furniture only to remove everything from day to day. The panels sailed 90degrees with very minimal wind. We bought 52” of 3/16 chain, unstitched about 1” opening at the bottom hem, slid the chain through and backstitched it closed by hand. (YouTube it) I used several large binder clips from the Dollar Tree to clip the panels closed. We’ve had 10-15 storms and so far so good though I had to tuck the panels between my deck railing and patio furniture additionally. Very easy to grab one end of the chain and let it slide the length of the hem to reposition it occasionally.

These Curtains are Great...but here's some more info.
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2021
First: thanks to past reviewers for sharing details and especially photos. Really helped! I want to pay it fwd, so here's my review & photo. I used seven (7) panels (54L X 84W) to cover a fence length of approx 20.5 feet. One more panel would have made it fuller but b/c of where the gate is, seven panels work just fine. 1) They are a bit sheer, but are opaque enough to mostly block the view of cars in the driveway. 2) They do blow around with even a slight wind. I am considering the many recommendations to weight them. (Issue: since these are specifically for outdoors, it would be nice if they came with weights in the hem - which are sewn shut.) 3) They absolutely do provide shade! I left gap to show this in the photo. In the early evening/hottest part of a Houston summer day - the sun hits the gap under our walkway cover and bakes our patio. The curtains cure this problem and we are very pleased! P.S. Our very nice friend used metal electrical conduit & fittings for the rod.

These were the thing that finally pulled our new patio together.
I initially wanted them because even with a 14' deep patio, when the sun is low in the sky it was uncomfortably shining in our eyes. I was surprised to find they also somewhat insulate the patio when we pull them all closed and turn on the fire table. It's a noticeable difference in temperature, just enough to take off the worst of the chill. Keep in mind this is a California chill, they would do nothing against a real winter.
We get so many compliments on these, they really are the perfect finishing touch that makes our patio feel like a destination resort. On top of being affordable and functional they just lend a really nice ambiance to the area. During the day they sway in the breeze and just filter the light if you close them. During the night when they're closed they make the outdoors feel cozy. They're the perfect weight, opaque without being heavy. There's a channel in the bottom to where you could run a chain if you wanted to weigh them down. We don't get much wind and I like when they fly around so I left them.
