Shade is nice, not sure what I thought the material would be but it’s slightly rough, I’m sure to help hold up throughout the season. Very bright white. The description doesn’t say one way or the other if it comes with hardware- I suppose I should have assumed it didn’t in that case. But I will have to go on the hunt for some so I can actually use and hang it. Can’t speak to the quality of how it holds up but it seems it will do the job just fine!
