Amazon.com: waterproof drop cloth, Best Tarp and Drop Cloths for Your Project

The Texas sun bakes our patio between the hours of 2 and 7 pm even though it is covered.The heat makes it hard to enjoy the patio until the sun comes up.

Everything has been out of our budget, but we have looked into a few shade options.We decided to try out some simple patio curtains.

The curtains have been up for a while.It is already well into July and before you know it, the summer will be over.I figured since my husband brought home that monster of a baby pool, it really doesn't matter anymore.

When you pull the curtains open, they are wide enough to reach all the way across the open space between the cedar posts.Blocks the sun.

Any cotton fabric left bunched up after being rained on will mold.Drop cloths are made from cotton.When it rains, be sure to open your curtains so they don't get wet.If you live in a humid climate, you might want to buy a special outdoor fabric.

Someday, I hope to get real outdoor curtain fabric.I don't want to calculate how many yards I would need at $15.00 per yard with a tall and wide opening.

We folded the top over and used metal clip rings to hang the curtains because I didn't want to spend a lot of time sewing them.

I considered using curtain hanging accessories from Ikea, but we were afraid with only one support in the middle, the curtains would fall.Husband put together a few metal conduit and brackets from Lowes and painted them oil rubbed bronze.They blend right in.
