SmartWings Motorized Outdoor Shades 5% Openness

Beautiful shade and very easy to install.

All in all, very pleased with the three shades (What I say here goes for the other two as well, ;)) Well made product, installation was straightforward. I really liked the full length template. It made getting all three level and at the same height relatively easy. Once I got the remote figured out, pairing was again straightforward and adding all three to my ZWave network was easy. They look great and thus far have performed well. Two things for consideration: 1) One of the six cable hold-down bolts with the set screws and cable hole down the center, was not drilled all the way through. Easy enough for me to throw it on the drill press and finish the hole, but for some consumers it would be a challenge. 2) I had all three fully extended yesterday and it was a breezy afternoon. All three shades billowed in the wind and the bottom was restrained by the cables as designed. However as the afternoon progressed the repeated flexing and release of the cable tension by the shade allowed the nut at the bottom of the cable hold-down bolt to back off. Eventually one of the nuts backed off completely so that the cable was no longer being held in place. I'm going to have to use some lock-nut or a nut on both above and below the bracket to lock the hold-down bolt in place. I hope that is clear enough. If not, email back and I'll send a picture. Thanks.
