Editor's Notes

September 15, 2020:

Whether you opt for tab top or grommet top panels, there are other factors to consider when purchasing outdoor curtains. Sure, they drape beautifully over porches and pool decks, but if the wind picks up, the mesmerizing wave of the billowy fabric can create havoc on your space. Choices like the Pravive Sheers have pocket for weights, so you can keep them anchored, and the Macochico Privacy Panel has grommets at the top and bottom keep each curtain in place.

Curtains treated with properties that repel water, prevent fading, and resist mold and mildew like the Madison Park Laguna or the Sun Zero Valencia help protect the area from the rain, tree residue, and other elements.

If you are looking for blackout curtains, heavier fabrics like the material used to make the Nicetown Patio Drapes or the Macochico Privacy Panel will shade you from the sun and provide you with total privacy. On the other hand, if you just want to a little shelter from the sun, the Wilike Grommet Top Ombre softens the sunlight, but lets you see out and allows others to see inside the space.
