Review on Stay Protected Outdoors With AsterOutdoor Sun Shade Sail: 8' X 12' Canopy For Your Patio, Backyard, Lawn, And Garden Activities In Terra. by Duke Ballard

I have a small back yard patio with a small pergola against the house, and during the summer when my patio garden is finally starting to look nice, I enjoy sitting out there admiring how hearty the plants are and how effective a generous plant food schedule is in making the flowers bloom and the greenery get bushy and fill in. My problem, however, is that I had more than one vampire in the family tree, because any time I am in the sun for more than ten minutes, I start to turn red like a lobster at a seafood boil, so finding a shade that will allow me to enjoy the patio without bursting into flames has an essential, especially one that I may put up and take down with ease as I don't have anyone to help me with this chore. This rectangular sail shade fits just perfectly over the exposed area of my patio where the narrow pergola doesn't reach.After having the hooks mounted into the appropriate place, I am able to use my extending hanger rod to easily get the D hooks on the shade into the proper position and stretch it out so that it fits perfectly, provides shade without making it pitch dark underneath, and my plants that prefer a bit less direct sunlight benefit from it as well.Since I received it and got the hooks in place, I've been out enjoying my patio each afternoon and evening, taking it down in just a few minutes when we had an electrical storm move through so that the planters could benefit from the rainfall that came.I just keep track of which D ring needs to be mounted first ( I use the one where the product tag is sewn into that corner for a visual reference to get the long side up ) then get the others in place in a jiffy.I love the color because it works well with the red brick and white trim on my home, it provides shade but also allows enough light through without being too bright, and it's just so easy to put up and down I still can't get over it. I'm completely delighted with my purchase and I have no hesitation recommending.
