Exactly what we wanted. Pretty much ideal for the application we had in mind. Tough fabric, quality hardware and good stitching. These should last an number of years. We were replacing two shades we previously purchased that were still fine except for some fading of the fabric in intense sunlight. We decided to go to four sails instead of two so ordered four new ones of consistent color rather that add two new ones to the two older ones with slight fading. As the new ones fade over time will be able to add back in the used ones over time. Have no idea how many years we will get out of these but had 5 years on the two originals with plenty of life still left in them. We do not leave them up over winter as the snow load would be a problem. Only small complaint is that these new sails are made so “tightly” that the edges tend to curve inward as they are stretched for the 3- point attachment. The older sails did not curve in quite so much between attachments so that we got slightly more shaded coverage out of the originals. Not really a complaint, but just an observation on how they are made. We are delighted with these, just as we were with the original ones. Very stylish and a great source of shade for our patio. You can be very resourceful about type of attachment and height of attachment so as to give a very aerodynamic look to these shades as opposed to some covers that are just a flat shade with no style. These stand up to the wind very well if they are properly tightened using the adjustable hardware. They move slightly with the wind, which is good, but do not flap.
