Not 96' of material
Has anyone else come up short? I purchased a 48 x 96' roll. However it only had 86' of material. My picture shows how much material is left on the roll after using 46 inches, so there should be 50 inches left. It's short 10 inches. Both the rolls I purchased have this issue.

    I purchased three rolls of this fabric to make custom outdoor shade curtains for the chickens and to replace a damaged screen in a screen door. Out of the three rolls, two were very tightly woven and one was lighter (yet much easier to sew). Other than that slight inconsistency the product is fantastic - protects from the wind and sun and is also water repellent.

    Love the screening! It affords privacy while allowing airflow. I purchased the Stucco color SunTex 90. We framed the material and mounted it on our deck railing, then added a plastic trellis. This is on the north side of our deck and withstood Hurricane Harvey winds.

      excellent at stopping heat
      I have a 2 year old home which my builder did not install low-e windows in. I have 9huge windows facing due west and 5 windows facing east. Onthe first day of installation, i put an infrared gun on the sunglare shining in on the floor. The floor measured 95* where there was no screen, 94* where there was factory window screen, and 84* where there was this suntex 90 screen. It was only an 82* day outside. This has dramtically reduced my heat pump runtime. Cant tell on the bill yet as i havent got one dince installing. I am also buying another roll to do my basement and side windows. I also suggest getting the screen mouse available from HD as well. When installing, cut the corners off at 45 degrees so the material doesnt try to overlap on itself. Use a spreader bar for large screen frames.

        Great for Privacy and Shade
        We ordered this product to redo our screened in porch. The quality of the fabric is great, however, it is rather thick. The thickness made it very difficult to roll the spline into the track; we even used the smallest diameter spine available. Once installed, there was a noticeable temperature difference from outside the porch to inside. We also enjoy the privacy provided by the SUNTEX 90 screen. On a sunny day, it nearly impossible for neighbors to see into the porch. Visibility from inside the porch to outside remains great. Although installation was more time consuming than regular thin screen, we are extremely happy with the end result. The product looks great, keeps the porch much cooler than outside, and gives us the privacy we were wanting without limiting visibility from inside the porch.

        Major heat difference!!!!
        i should have done this years ago.... since i have an older, 90% re done house, with original single hung, wood frame, windows. That have no heat blockage, after installing on my largest window, i can tell a big difference in that room from heat, so far. Material was easy to work with, as this was my first time using the heavy mesh screen material. Strongly recommend this to help on utility bills. The frame was easy to build as well.

        heat relief
        screen was easy to install. A bit stiffer than your everyday screening material. But, had no problems on installation.

        Suntex 90 Works Great
        Installed Suntex 90 on my south facing screen room in south central Florida. The screen room was unusable and the sun also heated the house and made it very uncomfortable. What a difference after installing Suntex 90 the screen room and house are shaded and much cooler now. Great product. Outward visibility is good but not the same as regular screen. Visibility from the outside to the inside is almost zero so its also good for privacy. Our room used flat spline and was almost impossible to install because the screening is so thick . It took 5 hours to do one opening. After that we purchased several different sizes of round spline and found a couple that fit good. We end up using a little larger round spline and had one person stretch the spline while another rolled it in. we finished the other seven openings in about 2 hours. Very happy with the product after I figured out how to install. Ordered on line from Home Depot it was here at my home in in 3 days.

        This product is perfect if you need to shade a window or a space with or without a formal hanger. It’s good to also see through

        This material is strong and was surprisingly easy to work with. Looking forward to seeing how well it helps to keep the sun's heat out and save a few nickels at the same time.

        This material works well. However, one of the rolls I ordered was a foot short and barely fit the screen.

        Used on my windows to better prepare for summer. Central A/C had trouble at 85 degrees outside without window units. Now it keeps up until 105 degrees outside.
