UPDATE: TODAY IS FIVE MONTHS TO THE DAY THAT WE INSTALLED THESE OUTDOOR CURTAINS: They HAVE faded significantly on the exterior sides that face out to the sun. The grommets are beginning to show that the curtains are separating from the grommets. I had read about this issue in other reviews so I've been having anxiety worrying if the same would happen with mine. I have a total of six panels (two panels each side) which is QUITE a considerable investment that I would like to see last more than five months!!! There are snags on the outside of the curtains that have now developed, as well. In complete transparency, though, I wish to share that I still believe these to be incredible outdoor curtains. I have had them hanging (without tiebacks) during this hot, sunny, triple-digit Texas heat all summer and they create a complete BLACKOUT and are an incredibly effective relief. I believe we must live in some sort of wind tunnel, as these curtains have had to survive severe whipping winds (always use tie-backs during high winds!) so I do rate them very highly for being able to sustain wind gusts. The fading IS a significant problem, as the panels that face out to the yard are an ENTIRELY different color than the mocha brown facing in. Is it ugly from the yard view? Yes. Is it still attractive from the patio view? Yes. They do an excellent job of repelling and wicking away water. They do an incredible job at blocking out the sun. Are they worth the price considering how much they have deteriorated in just 5 months of usage? I will update again as time passes.
ORIGINAL POST PRIOR TO 5-MONTH UPDATE: The RYB outdoor curtain panels (100x108 in brown) are absolutely worth every single cent. They are amazing in their ability to repel rain droplets, dry quickly, drape beautifully, and truly block sunlight. I hired a contractor to install copper pipes for curtain rods (for maximum support of curtain panels flapping in the wind) (and for visual aesthetics carrying interior color theme to exterior) and the curtain grommets slide with ease over the metal. If the curtains are tied back, they will capture a bit of rain in the folds, so it just takes a gentle shaking-out and once the sun comes out, I let the curtains hang down without the tie backs and the curtains will dry within about 15 minutes! I wanted a patio where I could close the curtains to the harsh sun and I'm really surprised at the incredible job they do in blocking all the light! I purchased the tie backs recommended by the seller and love them very much. The tie backs are smooth and will not abrade the curtain fabric. Sometimes bugs will fly onto the curtains and start to decompose, no worries, just use a paper towel to remove and unbelievably there are no stains left behind on the curtains. This was an excellent investment not just for the house, but also for myself, so that I'm encouraged to sit a spell, enjoy the fresh air, have a nice glass of wine...
