CoolarooPremium Shade Sail Kit, (16'5"x9'11" Rectangle), Stone, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

I recently purchased this shade sail for a new deck I built in my backyard- but I have owned 2 of them from Coolaroo that I purchased around 6-8 years ago, so I can speak to the durability of the product. For this purchase (Premium 16'5"x9'11" Rectangle Shade Sail Kit), I originally ordered another brand with slightly better sizing options, but as soon as it arrived I returned it (the other brand) due to obvious lower quality and ordered the Kookaroo shade sail reviewed here.The hardware kit is well made, useful, and appears durable. My only wish for this brand is that they had a few more sizes in the rectangular shape, although the one I have is fine. Also, I got the "Stone" color which is a lighter color; one thing to consider is that although shade sails do a good job blocking sunlight, they also can generate some heat and darker colors will be much warmer to sit underneath if it is at a low height. In general you might want to order a larger shade sail than the dimensions of the space you are shading due to movement of the sun. Pictures are of the rectangular 16'5"x 9'11" sail and hardware installed in June 2024.Note: the temporary pole in the picture is a PVC schedule 40 electrical conduit which provides height but you will need a heavier duty (aluminum or steel) pole if your installation requires raising one or more corners.

The media could not be loaded.  I'd say it blocks about 90% of the sun:)

I bought my first pair of Coolaroo shade sails over 18 years ago, and erected them in a high-sun, high-wind mountain valley in the Rockies. Left them up every summer for 3 months nonstop. They remain as good as new. These new sails look to be identical, so even though I only recently bought this one, my inspection of the fabric and workmanship suggests the new products are just as good. Plus, now they suppy stainless steel hardware for erection, as well. Very helpful!

Unbeatable in sun protection and longevityGot a 15year old sail still going strongNow shaded by the new oneThanks coolaroo for making summer more bearable,…👏👏👏

Nice and big. Not too hard to install BUT the hardware that is included does not include screws to attach the rings to a wall.
