LyShade 16'5" x 16'5" x 22'11" Right Triangle Sun Shade Sail Canopy (Blue) - UV Block for Patio and Outdoor

The managers at the park next to our house, shines their spot lights on our windows all night. We use it to our benefit, we don't need to pay for electricity for this side of our yard, garage ... as they pay for it!It is so nice of them to lower our electric bill for us. However, we can't shut it off the light shining in our livingroom and bedrooms all night. We have asked the manager to shine their light on their own property, but they won't, they pay for the electricity to run a spot light all night, that only shine on ours house. So this tarp work to block the light to our livingroom and bedrooms, so we can sleep in the dark. We still get free light where we want it! Win! Win! for us!

Originally only purchased 1 but ended up buying 3 more. Good price and product.

Our sail is over two years old and looks great surviving the high heat and winds of Las Vegas

We're using it to shade our chicken yard until our trees grown in. We had to replace ours from last year, mostly because of us poking a hold in to hold it in the proper place, so that area started shredding. I am sure if you only use the rings on the corner for installation, you will have many years of use. It did a good job of holding up to the rain. Our red one faded in the sun, so the time we bought the tan one.

I bought this to shade the front windows from the sun. It attached to the car port and framing. I attached directly with 5 screws to secure better. solid 5 stars. awesome idea.

So far so good. First of all we bought this as a privacy cover for our pool area from our 2 story neighbors versus using it as a shade area. The quality appears to be good and it went through a good test. We had a really bad storm (60mph wind gusts) and this thing held on with no damage. Houses in the area that were under construction collapsed during the storm, but this shade survived. I thought the posts holding it would snap before this thing would break. The downsides are the shape and size. The image shows the long side as not being as curved as the short sides, but it is curved just as much. You lose a lot of coverage because of how much the sides are curved. The other issue is the dimensions provided. Ours is slightly bigger, which wouldn't have been a problem if I didn't set the posts based on the dimensions provided. I set the posts 18' apart (dimensions say 16' 5") to account for turn buckles. This thing connects directly to each post with them at 18', it is not as tight as it should be, but it works. It is also not a perfect right triangle, so you do have to offset the one post to account for the shape.

We purchased this sail for two reasons, to keep part of the pool shaded from the hot afternoon sun (Tucson, AZ!) and to block the view of the neighbors' back yard from the pool deck. As you can see from the "before" and "after" pictures taken from the top of the deck, the shade sail did the job beautifully.The sail itself was not difficult to put up; the difficulty was in figuring out where exactly to install the attachment points on the casita and the adjacent block wall, in order to create the privacy we wanted.Yesterday I noticed that by late afternoon with the sail up, the pool temperature was already 2 degrees cooler than the day before (outside temperature was 101). This is important because above-ground pools in the direct Arizona sun all day long will get too hot to enjoy as the summer progresses. Partial shade is critical!During the installation process, the sail ended up in the pool (or sections of it) a few times, but it dries immediately, water running through it like a sieve ~ also important given our summer monsoon thunderstorms! All in all, I am very pleased with the sail, and in fact I'm thinking of purchasing a second one to give us even more privacy.One more thing: LyShade's customer service is exceptional. Originally the sail was purchased for another application that didn't work out. I'd initiated a return, then realized we could use it above the pool. The return process resulted in some confusion, but I began dealing directly with LyShade via email, and they couldn't have been more courteous, supportive, and helpful. I highly recommend both LyShade's customer service AND their shade sail! :}

Easy purchase and return as i had gotten the wrong size the first time .Works great .
