This is exactly what I was looking for - it covers most of my 11x11 deck space. I sat under it during a light rain and stayed perfectly dry. I bought it for sunshade, but that was a nice added bonus. The aqua color matches my other accents perfectly. Very nice addition to my set. Beware, the directions are pretty vague, but not much to the set up.  Also, there is a process to raising/lowering it, but I am very happy with it now that I am getting the hang of it (not mechanically inclined LOL).
