The concept pictures are beautiful, right? You get your package and for a moment - question whether you have made a mistake because the fabric looks too simple. WRONG - it is amazing! With a small bit of planning, we were ready to start our shade-sail project - replacing two large and visually cumbersome metal/cloth gazebos. FACT: I love watching these sway gently in the breeze, and they provide great shade and relief from heat, while also adding some weather protection to our outdoor furniture & cushions. We also bring some plants into the shade on very hot days or when rain is expected. Love this item!
