I can’t speak to how easily it’s installed because I had a pro install it since they were already at my house doing things. It looks really nice, good quality, it’s been partially outdoors now since Sept (5 months) and is holding up really well. As far as the cooling effects doesn’t do much outdoors in 90-100 degree weather Texas heat, but it’s nice for a breeze when it’s not as hot and to keep mosquitos away. Will probably be perfect for 70-80
Degree days this Spring.
