Dung Beetles, I made mine. I purchased a piece of the woven cloth at Walmart that was 6' wide and 18' long. I bought grommets and placed them every 2 feet on the top and 4 of them on the bottom. I use my light hooks on my awning to hold the top and I put stakes in the ground and stretch it out at the bottom and use the "balled" bungee cords to hook to the stakes.
It is the same material that is used in the purchased ones, but they only had one color, tan.
I used probably the same cloth (called shade cloth at local hardware store) and made outside covers for the windows on our 5th wheel. Hemmed pieces cut to size (1" hem), attached 1/4" elastic loops and used Command Hooks to hang them with. We lose a hook now and then but some have been on almost 2 years. Hooks are easily replaced and I didn't have to drill any holes in the RV. They really cut down the inside temp...we do remove them when traveling.
Brilliant idea! Love it! Thanks. Byways.
