New Gazebo underway! Curtains/rod suggestions?

[JessB412]

Hey everyone! I’m always posting on here with issues I wanted to change things up and post something positive! After a long story and 1.5 months from order date we have finally received our 11x16 Paragon Hardtop gazebo! Rumor is it is a beast to assemble - luckily my husband enjoys difficult puzzles and is very handy. I can’t wait as we are in full sun all day and my little cantilever umbrella literally wanted to blow over at any slight breeze passing through.

We want to install nice curtains for shade -
Anyone use any they love? Amazon can be overwhelming.

I just bought and am installing them...slowly! Our Pergolas are 12x14 each and I bought 10 sets of vanilla colored outdoor curtains from Wayfair. I'm a bargain shopper and was surprised how hard it was to find light/white colored outdoor curtains for a reasonable price!! These come 2 in a pack, @ $38-40. I bought the 54x96 in size. They are both uv and light blocking (filtering). Large grommets, ss so no rusting. They are solid material, washable, not gauzy. I may put small weights in them to help hold down (it's been really windy here!). Bronze/brown curtain rods were ordered from HD. I've seen crazy expensive outdoor curtains but with dogs, Vegas heat, etc. I expect to replace them within 5 years (fingers crossed). Here are a few pics, not the best but after the weekend when I get them finished I'll take some more. Good luck!

Thank you for all the details and pictures!! Very helpful. Gazebo building just resumed today bc we were missing parts (of course) and had to wait for company to send some.

Your curtains look great so far!!

I love bougie patio curtains!

I got these rods from Amazon:
Kenney KN75796V1 Seville Standard Decorative Window Curtain Rod, 48-86", Matte Black

And these curtains:
Sun Zero Valencia Grommet Curtain Panel, 54" x 95", Khaki

I used light clips to attach these magnetic tie backs on the support pillars as well, worked like a charm.
Melaluxe 2 Pack Magnetic Curtain Tiebacks, Decorative Curtain Holdbacks for Window Décor (Beige & White)

Love them all.
