If you like being outside, you must have one of these shade sails!!  I received this sail packaged well and it came with all the necessary hardware and wire to put up immediately. When I first opened the package I thought it was a tarp like material, but its not.  It's a silkier type of material but it can withstand the elements.  Its great sun protection and provides such a nice space to enjoy a dinner on the patio and the dogs especially love having a shaded area to just plop down and enjoy the day without getting too hot!!  LOVE THIS!!
