Bought this to add some additional shade for our backyard. So far it works as advertised, and gives us the perfect amount of shade that we needed. This shade didn't come with any hardware - but we were able to find a kit locally to fit our needs. The sun shade itself feels durable and doesn't feel cheap. The fabric feels like it has a light coating of wax for some minimal rain resistance. We haven't had rain yet, so can't say how it does. Although we do get a lot of sunshine, and it's definitely doing it's job there. As you can see in the picture, we have only temporary a fixed it to our fence with some paracord. So far, it's holding out in the light trade winds we get in Hawaii. Only time will tell how long this will last. We hope a long time. Based on my first impressions, I would recommend this product.
