Idirectmart Triangle Sun Shade Sail 16 Feet 5 Inches - Sand

We purchased this triangle shade for our dog pen. We have two large black labs who have no shade. The Indirect Triangle shade is really awesome. So awesome in fact, that we purchased another one. The labs use to head back into their building soon after the sun came up but now laze under the sails most of the day. I don't have to rush to let them out of their pen so they can seek a cooler spot! Very sturdy material and for me, the triangle fasteners in each corner were perfect. All we purchased were two large hooks to screw into the building and we already had the fence posts. The rope that came with each sail worked beautifully. They dry quickly when rained upon and I've never seen even a hint of mildew. We make sure it's a very dry day before storing for the year. When put up for the first time in the spring after being stored, there are no wrinkles in them after being stored all year. I highly recommend these.Update 5/15This is the fourth year for these sun shades and other than a little fading, they are in perfect shape. We take them down in October of each year, fold and place in trash bags to keep clean and then back up in May. I can't believe the quality and workmanship. No fraying or holes anywhere. To me, they were worth the cost even if I only got one year out of them, but going on 4!!!!!!!!!

Nice material and anchors. If you need shade, it does not do much due to the shape. Other than that, I think they are a great idea.

When you buy a shade sail, you need to consider the hardware to be used for installation as well as the fact that the material borders need to be stretched. This makes the unit sides longer than the stated size. I purchased this Sail Shade after returning the 11' 5" version which was way too small for the area to be covered. The Sail is very well made, and is true to color. It matches the yellow of our house. Since we are putting it up inside a screen cage I have to modify it to make it fit but for the price I feel it is worth it. I would really have liked a sail between the 11 foot one and the 16 foot one..

It is exactly as described. I've had it up a couple days now and it appears to be handling light wind well. There is a storm coming today, living in Kansas...15-25 mph wind, we'll see how it does. I'm a 42 year old stay at home grandma that has built all kinds of things...I bought eye hooks and attached to the overhang through a stud, I also had good rope for up to 500 lbs and I used it to stretch to a fence post. The rope I used is black, the rope included didn't seam sturdy for what I wanted, it also wouldn't reach, the black rope looks better. It's camouflaged by a tree hanging over the fence anyway. If that does stretch I will be able to adjust my rope to tighten. It's provides great shade til about 4pm....the shaded area does move along with the sun, something to consider before hanging it. It's perfect where I put it at the north side of the house. Great price. The $150 ones seemed to be the same and I thought we'd try this one first. Will report back after the storm hits.

I opened the package and could tell immediately this was of poor quality. I never even took it out of the box. I have seen material like this before and suspect it would maybe last one summer surely sag. You get what you pay for. If you would expect any longevity out of your sunshade better keep shopping. This is only my opinion as I never used it but the quality was obvious if you know anything about sunshade materials...

After several years of dealing with birds in our wisteria we decided it needed to go, but after removing it we lost not only some of the ambiance in our yard but the shade as well. Our arbor is a triangle shape and so we ordered two of the sails in different sizes to cover the arbor and add a bit of color. These worked perfectly. They were relatively easy to install and block the sun nicely. I appreciate the fact that water will travel through them so that should allow me to leave them out year round. Don't know how long they will last but we hope to have them for at least 3 seasons to make the investment worth while. Seem well made and the color adds a nice golden glow to our patio.

I've had this up for several months now and everything seems fine.It has weathered the Arizona sun and several wind storms without a problem. So I can say two important things about this product:1. The stitching and rings that take most of the load are strong and durable.2. It appears that the fabric is very UV resistant. There is no fading after 4 months of every day sun in Arizona - none. I expect that my 3 months of Arizona UV exposure is equal to 6 months or more in Northeastern climes. Time will tell, but at this rate I expect at least 10 years like the fabric that covers my ramada. Great plastic nowadays.I paid much more at a box store for a similarly well constructed sail but I can't tell them apart. The other sail is over a year old with no signs of degradation either. Probably comes out of the same factory with a different label. Even the seem stitching is identical and really how many textile firms are producing this fabric?The more expensive and time consuming part of these sails is installation hardware and properly fastening them to account for storms. Wish they made an adjustable tension release for monsoon thunderstorms - like something that breaks specifically at say 250 lbs of tension. Nonetheless, mine still stood up to wind as the deeply buried metal poles bent from the force. Make as tense as possible to avoid the sail boat issue.Accessories not included and so if you don't even own a drill, you may be under-qualified to whine about installation and lack of hardware; those are many of the poor reviews I read here.Solid product and great price. You can purchase this with confidence. Highly recommended and at this price you can afford to replace it if something goes wrong.
