Windscreen4less 12'x16' Sun Shade Sail for Outdoor Patio Backyard UV Block Awning with Steel D-Rings Ruby Red Rectangle, Custom, 12ft x 16ft

This product is worth every single penny and more . Living in Florida it is a must have ! It is a large shade sail so be mindful to use at least 4"x6"x12' PT beams , and buy heavy duty hardware for Lowes or Home Depot , and use chain not rope or the cables to secure the sail . I highly recommend this product and look forward to years of being in the shade .

It has only been up for a couple of weeks, but we are thrilled with the decision to install one (bought two expensive poles designed for mounting these, and used the house for the other two mounting points). The quality of construction is nice. It will hold rain and drip through only once it has really started to puddle.

Good product just little problem I didn't realize I got the wrong item, and it as couple holes in center I guess is defective,but I didn't want to await for another replacement takes to long, so am using it as is, ,the cable that cames with it is really thin be aware, better get a separate one stronger. It does block the sun about 85% good.

Can’t beat the price on this one. Needed a rectangular shape to add some shade over my grandmas deck. I love that it keeps the heat down on the deck and also helps shade the side of the house, reducing the heat in there as well.

Delivered when promised and exceeded expectations

No problems, with this product, after 3+ years.

as long as you keep it out of the sun. If you plan on actually using it as a shade sail, however, the fabric will be visibly deteriorating after the first year. By the end of the second year, it will be so brittle and crumbly that it will develop a hole if it is pinched lightly between the fingers (or an acorn falls on it, or a bird touches it, or a gentle breeze moves it, etc.).Two of the pictures show the shade sail deployed over my patio; it is about two years old at this point. A few days after the pictures were taken, the rip had enlarged to cover the entire sail and I had to take it down. The third picture is of a piece from the sail taped to a light background so you can see how damaged the fabric is.But wait! you say, the sail is covered by a 3-year “commercial” warranty! That warranty turns out to be worth much less than you might think. I wrote to the manufacturer/seller using Amazon’s ‘Contact Seller’ feature, explaining that my sail was only two years old and the fabric had deteriorated to the point that it was developing rips and holes from normal use, and that it was weak, brittle and crumbly to the touch.I’ve attached a transcript of our correspondence below, but to summarize the company’s position: If your sail has ever experienced a wind gust over 40 mph, your warranty is void. Not sustained winds, mind you, but a single gust of wind over 40. They fully expect you to go outside and take down your shade sail for every rain storm, cold front or even brisk spring day that could possibly generate a wind gust over 40 mph. If you are not prepared to state (or possible prove; I didn’t bother to find out) that you have done this, your warranty is void. It doesn’t matter what kind of actual damage you’re reporting, as they don’t seem to have any interest in improving their product. In the complete absence of any evidence, they will insist that your damage was caused by ‘high wind’ and use that as an excuse to dishonor your warranty. Since they know that no reasonable person would act as they require, they’ve essentially got a ‘Get Out Of Warranty Free’ card.You might think I’m exaggerating, so I’ve included, absolutely verbatim, the full text of our correspondence after my initial contact, taken directly from our Amazon-hosted emails. You can decide for yourself if they are acting in good faith.==============================Dear Customer,We are so sorry to hear what happened. Could you please kindly provide us your Order ID and a photo of the damage part as well as your current shipping address? Also, do you know how the damage occurred? For example, did an object puncture it or was the item kept up during severe weather that would not be considered normal weather, such as winds gusting higher than 40 MPH? Please advise. We will wait for your reply until we take further action. Thank you!Best regards,Yvonne==============================Yvonne,I’ve attached a few pictures, all taken along one edge that was easy for me to reach and photograph. Some of them are of actual holes or rips; others just show how the ‘cross’ fibers are crumbling and disintegrating. They are so far gone that the slightest touch opens up holes and tears. The sail also sheds a fine brown dust that you can sometimes find underneath the sail on windless days.It appears to me that the sun has just aged the fabric so much that it is fragile. Just lightly pinching the fabric will create a hole. Also, the entire sail has lost enough of the ‘cross’ fibers that it no longer blocks much of the sun.Thanks,John Bendiksen===============================Dear customer,Thank you for providing the photos. Also, do you know how the damage occurred? For example, did an object puncture it or was the item kept up during severe weather that would not be considered normal weather, such as winds gusting higher than 40 MPH? Please advise. We will wait for your reply until we take further action. Thank you!Best regards,Mabel===============================Mabel,As I have said several times, the damage is due to the entire fabric of the sail deteriorating. As the fabric gets weaker due to the cross threads disintegrating, rips and holes are opening up.I don’t understand the repeated questions about winds gusting over 40 mph. There is not an area in the country that does not routinely have gusts over 40 mph, during ordinary rain storms or even a moderately gusty cold front. Unless you live in the atrium of a large office building, this is considered ‘normal weather’. I hope you are not trying to use that as an excuse to not honor the warranty.John Bendiksen===============================Dear Customer,Thank you for letting us know. Our policy warrants against manufacture defects, such as improper stitching, faulty grommets or premature fraying or deterioration of the fabric. However, our warranty does not cover damage from improper storage conditions, improper care/cleaning, or misuse. Damages due to high wind regardless of duration, severe acts of nature are not covered under our warranty policy. And we always suggest our customer to put down their sun shade sails during the bad weather. Since this damage was caused by winds 40mph or higher and ordinary rain storms which is considered "severe weather" instead of manufacture defects, we are sorry to let you know that this damage/situation is not covered under our warranty. But if you would like, we could offer you 30% off if you would like to purchase a new one. Hope you would like this offer. We really appreciate your support and understanding! Please let us know if you have any questions and concerns. We are always more than happy to help. Thank you!Best regards,Yvonne

So I bought this to fill in a corner of my back deck that raps around my sun room. All for the purpose of giving my 2 german shepherds somewhere to lay out of the sun and rain. Welllllll u get half of that. It blocks the sun very well not sure of the percentage but it's not 100%. The downfall is it does NOT block rain. I love the rain and was hopeful that I could go out there when it was raining and sit under it and enjoy the rain. So if u do your will enjoy it being wet and its not coming around it its going through. So it doesn't block rain. Maybe my expectations were just not realistic so it could be on me which is why I still gave it 4 stars. It's pretty good quality woven and nice thickness. I'll be curious to see how long the color holds up but so far which it's day 1 I'm pretty pleased considering what I paid for this thing and I have my anchors and all set correctly now so worst case u just replace the sun sail. Happy for now just disappointed it doesn't block the rain. Hope this helps anyone considering.
