I want to sit out in our backyard, but the direct sunlight can be a bit much in the middle of the day. I was looking for something I could easily hang up and take down without costing a fortune. This did the trick. Once I get some brackets I’ll be able to put it up the material looks and feels tough wide enough to block the hot fl summer sun seams to be rust and mildew resistant. Fl we do get strong rain I’m curious to see how it holds up. Overall if you’re looking for shade easy set up and down without spending a fortune for a custom canopy this is the way to go.
