SolVision HS9 – Rectangular Sun Shade Sail 4x3 m HDPE Breathable & UV-light resistant Sun Protection for Terrace, Balcony, Pool & Garden – Sun Sail 400x300 cm Shade Fabric Grey

I had an old gazebo that went up in the garden every summer, but this year after 10 years of service the material shredded. I looked around for an alternative and this appeared to be a good option.On the positive side, it looks great, and was really well priced. It has a reinforced rim and strong eyes in each corner, and ships with four decent (though shortish) tethers. Colour wise, it looks good in grey and the 3mX2m works well in our garden.Fixing is a little tricky, depending on where you want to put it. I tied two of the tethers to leylandii trees and used two of the poles from my gazebo to mount the other corners, with guy ropes holding the poles.In windy conditions it does move up and down a bit, bending the poles significantly, but thus far everything has held together. However, in the rain it basically leaks like a sieve. Where the old gazebo would protect furniture underneath to a degree, this lets the water through and is currently sagging in the middle after a night of heavy rain.I think ideally it needs to be mounted at more of an angle, front to back or side to side, to ensure water runs off it better. For someone looking for an angled sun shade, over a patio for example, then this is a nice cheap solution. If you want to sit under shelter when it's raining though, look elsewhere.

This is a very well made product and looks lovely in the garde. I had to return mine as I ordered the wrong size in error and I have to say, the customer service from this company is outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and they were so understanding and quick with their responses. Thank you so much!

Really pleased with the garden sail. Strong and well made. Easy to fiit with no slack when erected. Looks perfect above my Ketler patio furniture.

I wanted the 4x2m size found it was 1.4x3.5 did not cover the area required any one purchasing this item it might be best to order the bigger size. Good points are the material looks hard wearing and will shade ok

Bought this for my parents' conservatory, where it kind of saved the summer. It's the open-weave mesh type that you can hang any old how and water will run through it rather than pool, not the solid fabric type that also provides shelter in showers but has to be hung with a slope to drain. The shade is likewise a sort of soft filtered shade, not total. Seems robust enough, though of course it hasn't had to stand up to wind where we have it, but the stitching and eyelets feel sound.

Purchased to combat the sun across the rear of our house. We were struggling to go out due to the brilliant summer sunshine. Installed and bingo, instant shade. Has made our garden usable despite high temperaturesThis is a very high quality item and with good installation will not disappoint..

I wish I could iron this! It does the job OK, but is very screwed up from packaging... and wont stretch out at all to become unwrinkled! So it doesn't look very attractive when in place, but does give shade.

I haven't yet managed to install this product as I'm waiting to have posts set into the ground, but i am very happy with the quality of this product. It's nice and thick yet it doesn't weigh a lot. It looks and feels well made. It will make a stunning addition to the garden to shade the hot tub.
