The sail is about 6 inches larger before pulling it taught. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it again. Great Sail especially for the cost. I learned so much about geometry and Sail installation from my recent outdoor project that I’d like to share it with you. I’m renting this place so I had to spend my money wisely but efficiently. I installed a total of 5 Sails (2 rectangles, 1 right triangle & 2 triangles) each a different size & from different vendors. Each UV rating was between 180 to 190 GSM and they’re all close, I suppose. The most noticeable difference between them all was the stitching around the D-Rings.MEASURING TIP Each Sail was 8” to 16” longer than the dimensions supplied, measuring from ring to ring as if it’s laid out, not the length of the fabric between rings. Give yourself at least 38” allowance at each connection in the direction it’s being pulled. 12” to allow for fabric variation & stretch, 10” for a 4” turnbuckle & 16” for your attachment rope/cable/chain or…. If you don’t allow enough space, you may wind up with wrinkles in your fabric that don’t look so hot.INSTALLATION TIP I suggest running a small rope or a heavy string between your type points first to make sure that the Sail you’re purchasing is the right fit with enough allowances at each connection.I measured for the rectangle next to my deck using the suppliers 2 ft allowance, but the fabric variation made it too big and I had to get creative to use it. It was a bit complicated to make work but, in the end, it looked cool as heck. Obtaining the correct tie points for the triangles was the biggest challenge. By running a rope or a guy wire first, you’ll be able to determine the size sail that will fit within your tie points without wrinkles.
