I bought this a year ago and starting the second season with it and it's just like new. I do take it down and store it in the winter once it starts cooling off. The trick is to purchase one that is 3-4 feet less than the area size. So my back patio is a 16x20 so the 12x16 fits perfect.Putting an angle on it is great for aesthetics but won't do anything about water pooling in the center during a rain. Another review mentioned it stretching after the initial rain, and that's true but once you do your final adjustment, you're good for the season. I bought all the hardware from Home Depot. I mounted u-bolts on the eaves of the house and posts in the yard. For each corner use a carabiner, 3 foot chain, and a turnbuckle. Open the turn buckle all the way, mount it on the end of the chain closest to the sunsail. Pull the chain as tight as you can get by hand and then turn the turnbuckle so it closes.This will bring it nice and taut. The material does stretch during a rain, but once the material dries it will become tight again. Hope you guys enjoy yours as much as I do mine!
