We are loving our shade sails! Our deck gets constant sunlight and zero shade which makes it hard to enjoy the hot summer months. Although we have not yet installed the posts, so that the shade sail is high enough to walk under, we and our dogs are enjoying the shade and tropical feel that the blue color provides. This shade sail does not completely block the sunlight, it reduces the rays greatly and makes it comfortable.
