Review on TANG By Sunshades Depot 9'X13' Waterproof Rectangle Sun Shade Sail 260 GSM Beige Straight Edge Canopy With Grommet UV Block Shade Fabric Pergola Cover Awning Customize Available by John Warren

We bought the waterproof shade sail in beige to cover a yoga area for a Yoga Retreat. We ran plastic covered metal cable around the perimeter through the grommets and left an loop on each corner the size of the D-ring so we could attach to both the D-ring and the cable at each corner and to help support the tension of this 21 X 24 ft shade sail. We had our handyman help with the instalation (as it takes a lot of strength to install) and there are a couple of things we learned. We waited until the shade sale was delivered to install our posts and even then we should have allowed more distance between the corners of the sail and the posts to allow for greater tensioning. We needed ratchet tensioners to get an adequate tension to shed the rain. We also needed guy wires to each of our posts. When the retreat was over we took it down to save it and before we re-install we will fill the metal posts with rebar and concrete to make them stronger. We also will hire a professional rigger to re-install it and learn how to do it properly. As DYI's we made it work and it looked great and it shed the rain but it was a tough job getting it taut and required some creative solutionsSunshade Depot did not send any installation instruction or information with the shade sail. One of the D-rings on one of the corner sprung open under tension (it must not have been properly shouldered closed) so we replaced with a cable. Also the "Super Heavy Duty" installation hardware bought separately on Ebay (also without instructions from Sunshade Depot) Sunshades Depot Square Rectangle Sun Shade Sail Steel Wire Advance Hardware kit Set 8 Inches Super Heavy Duty Installation Accessories Kit was useless and not nearly heavy duty enough. We would suggest buying your own hardware at your local hardware store.
