Very Nice Sail
This Sail is a great deal for the product you get. It seems to be very durable and should provide years of service.WHAT TO DO FOR A WRINKLE One of the pictures I uploaded shows a TWIST I put into the one corner to take out a wrinkle in one direction. The one corner has 1-1/2 twists in it to remove the wrinkle, I found the tip on Pintrest 🤷♂️ I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it again. Great Sail especially for the cost. I learned so much about geometry and Sail installation from my recent outdoor project that I’d like to share it with you. I’m renting this place so I had to spend my money wisely but efficiently. I installed a total of 5 Sails (2 rectangles, 1 right triangle & 2 triangles) each a different size & from different vendors. Each UV rating was between 180 to 190 GSM and they’re all close, I suppose. The most noticeable difference between them all was the stitching around the D-Rings.MEASURING TIP Each Sail was 8” to 16” longer than the dimensions supplied, measuring from ring to ring as if it’s laid out, not the length of the fabric between rings. Give yourself at least 38” allowance at each connection in the direction it’s being pulled. 12” to allow for fabric variation & stretch, 10” for a 4” turnbuckle & 16” for your attachment rope/cable/chain or…. If you don’t allow enough space, you may wind up with wrinkles in your fabric that don’t look so hot.INSTALLATION TIP I suggest running a small rope or a heavy string between your type points first to make sure that the Sail you’re purchasing is the right fit with enough allowances at each connection.I measured for the rectangle next to my deck using the suppliers 2 ft allowance, but the fabric variation made it too big and I had to get creative to use it. It was a bit complicated to make work but, in the end, it looked cool as heck. Obtaining the correct tie points for the triangles was the biggest challenge. By running a rope or a guy wire first, you’ll be able to determine the size sail that will fit within your tie points without wrinkles.

Love this canopy
After struggling with my DIY canopy project, I ordered this from Amazon. We have an area of 12x16. Even with this lighter mesh type material, we had a sag in the middle so we experimented and finally figured out that by twisting material on a corner the sag disappeared. My husband laughs at me for my Pinterest fails and here was yet another. Don't spend the extra time or money trying to make a painter's cloth canopy when this is priced right and looks SO much better.

Great Shade
I was a little reluctant to purchase because of some of the reviews mentioned that the material looks cheaply made, but I am glad I gave it a try. We have timber tech decking and it was impossible to walk on the deck barefoot during the hot months because my feet would burn. The shade cloth has cooled the deck significantly. I would def recommend this product to anyone who needs some shade.

Shade, sunlight, rain water, and plants protection
It has been over a week since this shade is sailing in my backyard, and so far so great. It gave shade and also allow the sunlight to shine through to feed my plant and not darken area at all. It also allow the rain water to flow through and because of the shade it gives, the water does not evaporate as fast compared to the area of my yard without the protection of this shade, and it also gives an elegant and completeness at the area that I have it hung.The material seemed to be made of quality material, it is advertised as 2nd generation so my presumption it would be a better made, and the fact that the company promises 3 years full warranty that had persuaded me to buy it. I don't think I will need to use the warranty thus far, but times will tell.I had to tighten the ropes a couple times, no big deal because of where I have it hung with easy access to the ropes and I was expecting it because knowing the influx temperatures and the material is expected to stretch from manufactory newly shrinkwrap to full expansion and usage over time.This is my very first sail shade and I love it so far. I am thinking about buying another one but can't seem to justify for the need yet, perhaps to use it for adhoc backyard parties during the hot sunny summer.

Love our "like new" patio.
I love this product. I wish the installation instructions were a little better but it is not a deal breaker. Highly recommended.

Good quality
Works perfect, my wife reminded me that it looks like a tarp. I didn't think of that till I hung it up and it really does. Lol... next time I'll buy a different color.

Makes a perfect catamaran cover.
I ordered this as a boat cover for my Hobie 17. Needed something that would keep the sun out but let rain in. I leave the boat with the wings out so a normal boat cover would not do and ones specifically for Hobie 17 were $500.This one works very well. Have to put a few small grommets in so I could wrap the cover around the shrouds.Can’t speak on durability but it works for what I bought it.

Decent quality for the price
We weren't sure if a shade sail would work in our space, so we didn't want to spend a lot until we were certain. For the price, this is a really good quality shade fabric, and it does the job nicely. I've had Coolaroo on another shelter, and I'd have to say, this is as good, if not better. The D-rings seem well sewn and the reinforced edges seem strong - for now. We'll have to see what the sun does to them. My only issue, and it's not the company's fault, is that the blue we chose looks a bit "tarp-like" in colour. We'll juts have to get used to it. Again for 70 bucks and free shipping, it was a great buy.

Good quality for price, not as great at keeping things cool.
Our back deck is very exposed and gets very hot during the summer months. We bought this to hopefully offer some shade and cool things down. The product looks well designed and no issues with the quality. Installation was as expected. The only thing that others should know, and why I only gave 4 stars is that we still get a lot of light and heat coming through. Today, in the sun is 37 celsius. Under sail is 34. In full shade (behind a plant on the same deck) is 27. I used digital thermometers to check. Maybe I'm missing something, or it's to be expected, but just wanted to point out the shade/cooling factor was less than I was hoping for.

No duro ni un año y se rompió.
Lo use para dar sombra en el jardín, para la zona de mis hijos, en menos de un año el sol la degradó y se hizo quebradiza, se rompió toda. Uno espera que este tipo de productos tengan una vida de al menos tres años. Al menos en mi experiencia con malla-sombras similares, es esa.

Good value, its bigger than advertised.
Very plasticky but looks good when up high.Stretches 9 to 16 inches beyond the measurements.Cant understand why they dont make them to fit general deck sizes. Make them to fit the pergola frame, not bigger than the frame.

Needs sturdy anchoring, but then makes for good shade.
Product was as described, and once installed provided good shade for a patio cover. I under estimated how critical it is to anchor the four corners securely. At 12’x16’, this is a pretty big sail in any level of wind.......it needs strong corner anchors that can tensioned properly to keep the sail from moving.
