12' x 12' x 12' Sun Shade Sail Triangle Outdoor Canopy Cover UV Block for Backyard Porch Pergola Deck Garden Patio (Beige)

I used the recommended hooks that you gave to buy separate, but I installed and hung this all by myself. Easy to get up, and since I live in a hurricane prone area, the hooks make it easy to take down

The sail is about 6 inches larger before pulling it taught. 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.

Sept 1 2016: I have updated this review again and increased the star rating because this company honored their warranty and sent us a replacement sail. They also let us know that they now use a higher grade material for this shade sail. With the improvement they increased the warranty from one year to five years.Original review, June 2016: We bought this sunshade less than a year ago and already it has fallen apart. It is a sunshade, so obviously it has been out in the sun and elements, but we expected better quality and a longer life for this product. The two shades we bought from another company around the same time show no signs of disintegration, but the middle fabric of this shade literally shredded and fell out last week, leaving just the triangle of edging hanging from the hooks. Disappointing.Update Aug 12 2016: The attached photo shows the three sails that we installed at the same time. The beige one (from Windscreen4less) in the middle has nearly disintegrated entirely, while the two terracotta shades from another company are doing fine. We have spoken with and received texts from customer service. We hope to tell you in the future that they honored their warranty, but so far we cannot.

Used it for shade

Nice sun sail. I attached this to a corner of my backyard fence (no poles). Plenty of shade but not opaque to sunlight. This isn't waterproof. I use for privacy, but it would be great to reduce direct sunlight on sensitive plants or for safer backyard reading, etc.. If you are attaching to a fixed corner take note of whether the shape is isoscelese or equilateral triangle and measure for what you want before you buy. Mine was perfect fit for my use (12'x12'x12'). Very happy with the product. Haven't had long enough to tell about durability, but fit and out of box condition are fine. Lost a star for lack of hardware which I purchased separately at small expense. Attachment rings and reinforcement edging are good quality so no qualms there. Good product at a fair price.

I just looked these up again and realized I have had my shade sails up for 5 seasons of Northern NM with high UV and blasting wind. I have a couple that have gotten wear from rubbing and one that started to come apart. However to think these guys have lasted 5 seasons before needing to be replaced is astonishing and a testament to their durability and construction. The fact I only need to replace a few is incredible. They have made a huge difference and shade is definitely a premium in NM with all the heat in this northern Desert. None of my Flags have lasted as long as these sun sails. Excellent and I will order more this week.

This product is as advertised but while the material does provide shading, it is not as dense as my other sails. In fact, the material looks as if it was not taught when sewed as there are sags in the shade itself. While effective as a fairly good shade, I do not want to look up at it. My other sails are of a heavier material, have lasted years, and are pleasant in appearance. I am not sure if some time hung up will smooth out the look of the sail but at the moment, I will say it is effective but not attractive. By the way, the dimensions were accurate.

Not bad, but it is gold in color. Not beige, gold. Maybe if you squint and look at it from 100 yards in the dark you might say it is beige, but all other times it is gold. Other than that it is as described and appears to be of fairly good quality.There are a lot of how-to sites online that tell you how to hang it and they are all overkill for this shade. This is a light-weight shade and I bought some medium duty anchors, some medium adjustable turnbuckles and some light/medium duty nylon rope at my big box hardware store for under $20. Installed it in under an hour, but do yourself a favor and install the base connection first (the point of the triangle) then stretch it out and drill your first wall hole and anchor and connect sail, then go to your last connection point and measure again for the correct point. When it stretches it is not a perfect triangle so dont make the mistake I did of pre-drilling all the holes based on the dimensions of the sail.
