Looks awesome but does not provide much shade. We live in Austin, Tx. where summers are hot and it would have been nice to have had a rating on the cover material to help make a choice. I would even pay more for a cover that will provide shade. I plan to add a Sun Sail shade under the cover or maybe plastic panels. I'll have to experiment because I don't want to change the look of it. With all that said I would still buy again.
