I am sure these curtains will work well. I will be hanging them from the underside of my upper deck by rods in order to prevent the insect infestation on the lower deck. It also adds a lot of softness to the lower deck, making it feel more like a room. Utility and decor, so win-win. My only hang-up is the khaki color was darker than expected, which I was not a huge fan of, but we will make it work.
