Review on 6' X 6' Beige Canopy Square 180 GSM Shade Sail U*V Block | TANG Sun Shades Depot For Patio, Garden & Outdoor Activities by Russell Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very high quality… for the money.

I was gifted a custom made highest quality 16 x20 industrial high-tension shade canopy that wholesales for around $1,200 just for the canopy. It’s guaranteed for 10 years and willLast way longer than that. That said, The 10 x 12 canopy I bought on ebay cost about $90, If I have to replace it every few years or so, I’m totally fine with that. It seemsVery high quality for money. It’s thick, tightly woven and sewn very well. More:I’ve put up several different sizes of these around our home and am a bit of a rigging master. I set up these things very similarly to how the pros do it meaning my canopies are hyperbolic paraboloids meaning that they are installed "twisted”. One set of corners of the canopy that diagonally oppose each other are higher up than the other 2 corners and the whole canopy is tensioned at about 50 pounds per corner. In a light wind the canopy does not perceptibly move. And in a heavy wind it gently moves. I also have 2 chains per corner: The main chain and a secondary chain coming down off of the corner at an angle. That pretty much means the corners do not move adding to the stability and aesthetic of the canopy.setting themUpThis way means they should last much longer because they don’t move so much. In a couple of locations around my home I use two canopies that overlap one another for added shade and an added aesthetic. There’s probably videos on-line showing how to go about this.

Pros
  • Fits well, looks good
Cons
  • The shade sail may be too expensive for some budget-conscious consumers
