The sail color  is lighter than I had hoped with shimmer but it is thick and seems to be of good quality. We wished we had chosen a darker color but that has nothing to do with the quality of the sail... just with our color scheme.  It  is very large and comes with the corner hooks to anchor off to install.  It does not come with the hardware but we had no issue finding what we needed at the hardware store. In general you have to know how to install the the sail but the product itself is quite nice. It’s a great addition to the backyard. We are very excited to use it on hot summer days.
