This product was purchased to provide some shade after a rotting trellis was removed from our patio. The $25 lightning price was very doable even if it was just an experiment. The shape is odd but is needed for strength, I guess. But, the main thing is that it does the shade job just fine. It is not water resistant although it
tends to direct water to it lowest sagging point. I don't care about that. I would build a roof if I wanted no water on the patio. I use stainless steel pad eyes for the four corners and tie wraps so I can cinch down for the right tension. I worried about durability against the constant breeze, but it's held up fine for nearly a year now of mostly sunny Hawaiian days. It was a very economical experiment that turned into a very economical solution for us. I've been waiting for it to rip at a seam, but nothing doing yet. Very happy after a year.

Nice patio cover for a great price
I like the quality of this Patio Cover Sun Shade Sail. I just got it, and it hasn't had the chance to see higher winds or 115 degree heat yet, but we shall see. I like how easy it was to install, the price and I can take it down or adjust it.
Pretty simple to install, had to improvise on the mounting hardware. I bought the 4 point mounting hardware; the mounts to a house were easy and the kit had nice stainless hardware, but was mounting to the mortar on a brick wall that was 7 ft away from the end of the cover. I bought 2 rope ratchet tensioners for about $8 each from home depot (also on amazon) to finish the install that day. Not sure what the 4 pieces of nylon rope are for with this kit, they are about 5 feet long each. The instructions don't really hint how to use them, and I watched a few install guides online and just figured it out my own way.
