SolVision HS9 – Rectangular Sun Shade Sail 4x2 m HDPE Breathable & UV-light resistant Sun Protection for Terrace, Balcony, Pool & Garden – Sun Sail 400x200 cm Shade Fabric Anthracite

I had an old gazebo that went up in the garden every summer, but this year after 10 years of service the material shredded. I looked around for an alternative and this appeared to be a good option.On the positive side, it looks great, and was really well priced. It has a reinforced rim and strong eyes in each corner, and ships with four decent (though shortish) tethers. Colour wise, it looks good in grey and the 3mX2m works well in our garden.Fixing is a little tricky, depending on where you want to put it. I tied two of the tethers to leylandii trees and used two of the poles from my gazebo to mount the other corners, with guy ropes holding the poles.In windy conditions it does move up and down a bit, bending the poles significantly, but thus far everything has held together. However, in the rain it basically leaks like a sieve. Where the old gazebo would protect furniture underneath to a degree, this lets the water through and is currently sagging in the middle after a night of heavy rain.I think ideally it needs to be mounted at more of an angle, front to back or side to side, to ensure water runs off it better. For someone looking for an angled sun shade, over a patio for example, then this is a nice cheap solution. If you want to sit under shelter when it's raining though, look elsewhere.

I wanted the 4x2m size found it was 1.4x3.5 did not cover the area required any one purchasing this item it might be best to order the bigger size. Good points are the material looks hard wearing and will shade ok

Purchased to combat the sun across the rear of our house. We were struggling to go out due to the brilliant summer sunshine. Installed and bingo, instant shade. Has made our garden usable despite high temperaturesThis is a very high quality item and with good installation will not disappoint..

I needed a canopy for our conservatory and reading the previous reviews I was not very clear if it would be able to block any sun. I am not disappointed at all. It has a good length and width. We have not used it outside so do not know whether it is waterproof or not. It is suitable for our requirement. Blocks out most of the sun and looks very sturdy.

It’s perfectly fine I should have gone bigger to get more protection, will get a bigger one soon

This sail is a really good quality and good design - but just beware that the dimensions are for the widest part at the ends. This is why I have awarded 4 instead of 5. The centre of the sail is about half a metre smaller, so for a really good coverage go for the bigger one.

Bought this for my parents' conservatory, where it kind of saved the summer. It's the open-weave mesh type that you can hang any old how and water will run through it rather than pool, not the solid fabric type that also provides shelter in showers but has to be hung with a slope to drain. The shade is likewise a sort of soft filtered shade, not total. Seems robust enough, though of course it hasn't had to stand up to wind where we have it, but the stitching and eyelets feel sound.

Disapointed with this product.the material feels like its made from plastic,it does not come with any fixing soni had to go.out and buy them seperatly.How ever my biggest gripe is IT IS NOT WATERPROOF. Even a light shower and u get wet.the weight of the water also made.the sail sag,so now ive got to re tighten.!
