Artpuch Sun Shade Sails Canopy, 185GSM Shade Sail UV Block for Patio Garden Outdoor Facility and Activities (12'x16', Dark Grey)

Never had wind sails before and love them! I bought 2.I used the ratcheting cable method to install them - and pulled these super tight [see pics]. These are stronger and thicker than i expected.I also realized that the color is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING for me. I never had a sun sail before, and in full sun everything below the shaded area takes on the tinted color of the wind sail!!!Luckily i picked the golden yellow ones so the tint under the shade feels like a “warm sun” color. I was like “Phew - got lucky on that choice - imagine a blue tint on everything under the shade”. lol and true.IMPORTANT NOTE - the sun sails aren’t really the size they appear to be - because the size is measured from the Corners of the sail - not the amount of shade the sail provides. See the 3rd pic. The size measurement is from the corners - and based on how these are designed to be pulled tight it means there is about 18 inches on all sides smaller than the corners. So my 12 x 16 sails are really about 10 x 14 worth of shade. see the last 2 pics.I also liked that in a florida pelting downpour the huge rain drops ended up being “splattered” on the material and coming through it more like drizzling/dripping/streaming than direct rain.val

This shade makes a big difference in how usable by tiny back yard is. Before the shade, I only could enjoy my back yard in the morning. However, now it's usable all day long. Plus it doesn't pool water when it rains so I don't have to worry about taking it down.

The light color lets too much sun through and the heat builds up but it is being used indoors to cover up part of a 70 foot long sky light.

This is just awesome and very durable

Excellent. Holds up very good to the weather and wind.

Awesome. Doesn’t collect water.

It's ok but it stretched and sagged within 2 months

Sturdy good quality
