I have a few sizes and shapes of these and I like them a lot. The fabric is a somewhat open weave of plastic strands. The same plastic that black garbage can liners are made from. The D-rings at the corners are attached to straps that are heavily stitched into the boarder. There is a slight sheen to it that disappears over time.
These shade cloths can be stretched tight and still move around some in a breeze. They provide good shade and let some breeze through. They don’t hold water and they dry out quickly.
The inward curved edges reduce the coverage quite a bit, and allows large gaps against walls.
But straight edges with squared off corners wouldn’t be as strong, and couldn’t be stretched tight like these.
These things are very heavy duty. The color is more of a muted gold and i wasn't expecting that. I'm sure it will fade to a more beige look in time. I've had an injury so haven't been able to hang them properly yet, but they are very rugged.
Put them up, a week after a major afternoon Florida thunder storm cane through. For over an hour these sails stood up to 70+(and I'm not kidding) winds. I'm pay the video if I can. The blue side tension line slipped through the clamp pit it back up the next day tighter. The beige one stood strong, but it is also 8" smaller then the blue on all angles. Caused some installation problems.
love this. Gives our pool much needed shade in Florida weather.
The size is from corner to corner not the actual size in the middle part. That might be important information for someone. This is a good quality sun sail and has held up well all summer long. I have no complaints about the quality of this product and would order again if needed.
