Ordered a dark blue 8 x 14 Shade Sail. True to size. Went up easily with our own hardware on upper deck overlooking lake & mountain views. In very hot California sun thinking this will by material thickness and wind levels last only one season and need replacing yearly. Only time will tell and "the season" needed here is long, April 1 through Dec 1. Need to help keep some shade for people, deck plants and furniture. Looks great and ready to enjoy a bit more tolerable sun/heat level from the shade and UV protection provided.
