Awning shade recommendation

My wife has requested an awning shade addition.
Are there any suggestions out there?
Quality before price.
Thanks!

I have a Solera awning so I bought a 2 piece shade which one part stays attached to the awning when rolling up and you just un zip the bottom half. Works great I'm sure there are other shade out there that do the same. Later RJD

We have a Shade Pro. Been using it 3+ years with no issues. Many sizes and colors. Install is easy if your awning roller has an extra slot.

Another for shade pro. Easy install and keeps it probably 10 deg cooler sitting behind it.

Awning rolls up with the top part attached but we remove before traveling since the awning doesn’t completely close up with the additional material.

Check your awning roller tube to be sure you've got an available slot first. Our current fiver only has one slot used to attach the awning fabric so we have no option to add one. I simply couldn't believe we didn't have more than one slot when I looked.

However, our previous fiver had the slot and we installed the two piece Solera Sun Shade and loved it while at the beach. It was wind friendly and kept the camp side of our site several degrees cooler.

This only uses the slot for the tabs which rollup with the awning. Tabs came from CW /8 pk. It's on a 21' awning . Held to tabs by ball bungee and conventional 3/8 tent stakes and loop of paracord at bottom for give Release bungee to rollup awning on the quick , you have to. You'll have to look for the tarp. I think it came from AZ. Obvously size, color and degree of light transmission would be your option. Multiple tarps, again your choice. This one allows left,right or center installClick image for larger version

This one is 10 or 12' wide. Not stretched out as shown this Screen tarp was no $20 cheap screen tarp from menards. If you've ever watched someone thread the slot in the awning tube with a screen tarp, you'll give this consideration
