These crisp, sheer outdoor curtains will instantly make you feel like you’re on a breezy beachside cabana. These provide the look of a lightweight curtain but are actually made of durable, water-resistant polyester and have a heavy-duty canvas-like feel. They also offer a light-filtering, UV protection for the sunniest of days.

One reviewer wrote: “These curtains are so stylish and light weight. I love to sit out on my porch but I was looking for something to make me feel like I was somewhere else. These curtains added a style to my porch that made it look very inviting and chic. They are very well made and can be used indoors or outdoors on the patio. .. They have a water repellent coating and made of durable heavy materials with shinny stainless grommets which make them easy to hang on your favorite curtain rod. They clean up with soap and water , and are mold resistant. They make me happy just seeing the appeal that hanging them made! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.”

One reviewer wrote: “WOW WOW WOW! I bought these for our outdoor screened-in porch. I was hesitant to buy these because I thought the price and length was too good to be true but REVIEWS DON’T LIE. They are beautiful! I bought 6 panels of the Grayish White in 108 in and they were not just beautiful but great quality. They’re truly waterproof….. I tested it already with these heavy Georgia rains we’ve been having. I was worried the color would be silver like but Greyish White describes it perfectly. No silver sheen to them at all. Very high end looking. I loved them so much I bough 2 more panels to finish off our deck.”
