It's huge and exactly what I thought I was ordering. The day I put this up, it was extremely windy. I am using this to shade my current pergola. I do like it that water can seep through it, which will decrease the pooling of water. 
I took a picture of the metal hardware attached to the sail. All I had to do was buy the hardware to put on the post of the pergola to attach the sail. (It cost under five dollars to do so at the hardware store)I am looking forward to be outside more often with the help of this shade. Texas heat is brutal. I will update if anything changes but for right now I am happy that it is serving its purpose, giving me SHADE ! It looks prettier up.
