DIY exterior shades in COLORS!
It took me a while to find this stuff, so I am posting here in case anyone else is searching or has found even better links!
For basic colors like grey, tan, hunter green, black, you can just go to Amazon or Walmart and get a roll of Coolaroo, $22 for 6x15', 70-90% shade or so.
But for more variety, stripes, etc., you gotta go elsewhere...
americannettings.com has subtle stripes in 70% shade, $33 for 6x15 feet, or $308 for 6x150.
arizonabag.com has bright solids -- turquoise, cayenne, yellow, etc. and a couple subtle-stripes, 95% shade, by the yard at 10 feet wide, $18/yard. If you look around their site, they also have a blue with openwork stripes, maybe 85% shade, on another page.
polyfabusa.com makes other bright solids, including purple(!). I didn't look into dealers.
You can get up to 10 free Coolaroo samples from blinds.com, through home depot. I could not find ANYONE online selling the exact fabric lines they sample, but if you are doing this by mail order as I am, it's a great way to see what the fabrics are like, and check out different % shade before shopping the other lines from the same (or different) manufacturer.
So there ya go! I hope to see some fancy new shades in the RV parks soon :B And did I miss any great sources?
