We have a west facing covered deck with a beautiful view of the countryside and a winding creek. We entertain and spend a lot of our time there in the summer. We've tried patio umbrella's but would have  fight the wind and their shade didn't cover a large enough area. I was happy to find this shade that blocked the strong afternoon sun but still allowed us and our guests to enjoy the view. I ordered the 10' shade. It was easy for my husband to install and only took minutes for the installation.

Pros: Looks great, easy to install, great quality 
Cons: I wish it were available in a 12' length
