I really like this dark blue sail shade. My back deck gets so hot you can't walk on it in the summer and the sun is too blinding. My plants get burnt in the high temps and it is hard on the porch furniture. I have purchased one of these before and it held up surprisingly well in the high heat and sometimes gusty winds. I needed hardware that was just a bit smaller than what I had so I can change it out as the shade stretches some in the first season and it was included in with this. I put this up early this year to help my annual flower seedlings adjust to outdoor sunlight before I plant them in a few weeks. Love these as it provides additional shade besides my umbrella's that I must take down when not home in case of wind gusts over the mountains and lake.
