I love these shade sails! They are perfect for putting over my garden area so I don’t get burnt while working in my garden. It will let light thru for the plants. We didn’t get them stretched as much as they can be but I am still very happy with them. I have one over our wading pool who definitely cuts down on the heat and our pool stayed cool in the heat of the summer even though it is a shallow pool. I also use them for my barn animals to give them some shade in the summer
