My intentions for this nice shade was to somehow use it to block the morning sun on our front deck but it being a triangle shape we may not be able to use it that way. For the time being, we will use this one for a much needed shade area the dogs and get another in rectangle shape for the deck. It's a soft, lightweight material and a buttery yellow in color. The heavy duty D-rings make it easy to hang and should last a long time. It shipped fast!
