We ordered two 10x13 beige Sunlax shades for our deck. The ones we received were cream-colored (nearly white). We suspect this unexpected color was due to a packing/shipping error, and (probably) not to inaccurate color representation in the Sunlax ad on Revain. We kept one shade and returned the other. The shade we kept seemed well made, and was easy to install. Sunlax includes enough nylon ropes for about a 6-7' tie at each corner. We attached these ropes to the corner D-rings using rolling hitch knots (aka anchor hitches) so they would hold without slipping. The shade material provides reasonable shade in full sunlight, although you can still feel the warmth when the sun angle is high. During a light rain the water drained through adequately and the shade did not sag significantly. (We plan to take it down if heavy rain is predicted, to avoid heavy water buildup that could pull out the tie-down hooks.) The curved sides leave a 10-12" inward gap at each center point, which is closer to 10% of the side dimension than the 3-5% value mentioned in the ad. Possibly these gaps could be reduced by tightening the corner ropes, but we did not want to stress our tie-downs any further. One last note: after we ordered these shades from Revain, we found them on sale directly from sunlaxoutdoor.com for about 40% less (not including shipping).
