This was purchased to replace one that was about 8 years old and worn out. We have two of them and they work great for much needed shade and are a good price .

We live in a 5th wheel. It's a temporary set up. We wanted something to give us shade on the patio we put it, and it had to be light enough to attach to the ladder on the back. We have a LOT of wind here. These covers look sharp and install very easily. We bought 2, and they have held up very well. They cast enough shade so you can sit under them and be cool and their durability is awesome as they have held up very well in the wind we have almost daily.

We've had these for quite some time. I thought I'd written a review but must have forgotten. We live in Florida, and they have held up well in the sun. I would definitely buy these again, but the way they have held up I may not need too!

Great product easy to install. Just hard to predict where the shade will be that's more of a installer issue.

The product is a different color than the photo, was packaged so haphazardly that it is completely wrinkled, and there are no straps included to attach it to anything. There wasn’t even any instructions or information on the best way to install and what kind of straps to use.

These are the third or fourth replacements. Couple different suppliers - these colourtree are in line with the better ones - D rings not rusting, double looped. (prosource Nov 2015 was a single loop). Good for two or three seasons, maybe four depending where you are i guess, winter storage, and how many cats decide they are hammocks. very cute ... until they fall thru an old one, no rip stop material here. Spare one handy.Original plan was three 16x16x16 triangle shades out to steel posts placed away from the house in a way to maximise the shade sail coverage while keeping the posts to three. Two more sails have since been added once the angles were figured and another anchor point added to the house. Triangles bow inward under tension, so the overlapping shades give fuller coverage, even double shade is nice in a few places, and keep it more interesting, especially if you can figure alternating tie off heights. square is just square.Noteworthy Extra Hardware used:3/16" Dacron rope. DavisRopeAndCable dot comStainless Turnbuckles. Sailrite dot comshades replaced, hardware holding strong.all the shade brands seem to provide the same basic white rope for tie offs where direct D ring to metal connectors cannot be made to the anchors. for a quick temporary placement the rope is ok - it is soft and easy to work with ... but will stretch and the shades will flap, shortening their life. if you look closely at the large shade installations at resorts or parks, they use steel cable under high tension. they even have the cable run through all the sides of the shades for extra tension. high quality shades too most likely. thousand$The cheapest closest easiest to work with alternative i could find is Dacron (high strength polyester made by DuPont). US made rope. about 15c per foot for 3/16". it is very low stretch black rope. holds knots well. UV and weathers well. stephen davis at davis rope and cable assembly supplies tower rigging companies, but worked with my little order and walked thru explaining the rope on the phone. order was delayed due to staffing and sickness, extra rope length was thrown in. just because. can't beat that. that was 2017. 2021 I'm about to use him again for zip line rope and car port elevator winching lines.whatever tightness you can get the shades to with the rope, the better ... i've used the cheap white rope as a come-along, several loops back and fro the D ring and anchor, even pulleys, just for fun. whatever, the final tension on the Dacron is best/easiest done with a turnbuckle between the rope and anchor. there are plenty turnbuckles for sale here on amazon ... but mostly galvanised that will rust/seize pretty quickly. found a few stainless ones for $70 or so. each. eek. hence the mention above. around $15 or so, for a strong closed end stainless turnbuckle, with locking nuts. over time a new shade will stretch some; the turnbuckle allows additional tension to pick up the slack - so long as you got enough tension initially with the rope, allowing use of the full turnbuckle length later to pick up slack rather than re tying the rope.hope this helps someone do a shade install a little more robustly - no floppy sails!

I am happy with the look and protection from the sun, but beware of a few things.Installation was tricky because I secured one corner of each shade to 4x4 posts attached to concrete using metal post holders and anchors. Ultimately I had to support to nearby trees using heavy duty cord and ratchet so posts wouldn't lean as bad. In hindsight, burying a post or metal pole into the ground and using a long cable would've been better. Shades will loosen some after they are initially tight, so using shade mounting hardware that you can easily tighten was great. When they get very wet, they will sag some. When fully tight, the straight edges of the triangle will curve, leaving a gap between adjacent triangles (see image) So yeah, these have enough give to make mounting a tedious process. These will ultimately transform your outdoor living space!

esta malla se aprecia bien confeccionada, hasta el momento luce bien y tiene un tamaño de acuerdo a lo anunciado, esperaré a ver como se comporta con el tiempo y el paso de la intemperie, sol y lluvia y complemento mi comentario.

This our second triangular sun shade. We cross them above each other overlapping in small sections to create a beautiful effect.

Two is better than one for better coverage and looks cool as well as cools the patio likely a good 10 degrees. We have them attached to our house awnings stretching to our clothes line pole. Husband prefers rope, heavy duty eye hooks, and carabiners as the attachment method. Can sit under them if there's a light rain and not worry about getting wet. Yellow and brown are the colors I chose, with the yellow having been purchased years ago. These are the 16'. Can't speak on sturdiness or durability, as they both have only been up for a couple of days, but so far so good.
