2021-03-08T17:26:06+00:00The image shows a darker shade than actual product shade (we viewed this across a number of monitors) 'graphite' is a long bow to draw give the actual sail is a actually a light grey shade rather than graphite.

2020-09-30T21:27:02+00:00Over all good product for the price you pay. I installed this for my Deck cover and pleased with the result expect the water pocket that form during rain. I did give good 30cm fall between the front and back of the sale. The sail is not totally water proof - heavery rain and poor install design does affect. Just a note to follow DIY's - there is better design to get rid of this issue - "hypar sail twist" do look up on google for more details - this creates a twist in your sail and is better during rain and wind.

Disappointed

2020-01-13T03:30:48+00:00This sail blocks the sun but literally catches rain. The fabric doesn't let any water through it and it sags terribly under the weight of the water it collects.
3.6m square shade sail

2020-01-10T03:02:27+00:00Once we'd got this fixed right (using the fixing kit sold by Trade Tested) this has worked well. Initially the shade sail ponded when it rained but we adjusted it so 3 of the corners are at the same height with the 4th corner 800 mm lower. Then we tightened it to the max - this is the secret, I believe. It has withstood strong winds and heavy rain.

Sail sags in middle and holds water
about 1 year ago
2019-12-13T18:24:15+00:00The shade sail does provide good shade, but seems to be very loose through the middle. Despite using tie-down ratchets to tighten it when installing, the middle fills up with water when it rains. I have the low end about 600mm lower than the high end, but it obviously needs a more extreme angle. Based on a single story fascia height, this means the low side would have to be uncomfortably low.
Shade sail excellent
about 1 year ago
2019-12-10T00:49:24+00:00I got one a couple of years ago and it is still great. The thing to remember is to get it at the right slope angle so it does not fill with water. I found using a ratchet tie to pull the corners tight before hooking them on to the "D" rings was the best. Also get at least one corner lower than the rest and that is where your water will run to. Mine runs to a garden bed beside the drive. These are great and I'm after another one.

Good shade
about 1 year ago
2019-11-30T03:11:37+00:00The sail gives really good shade and is nice looking, but it is virtually impossible to hang without it sagging in the middle so when it rains, it fills up with water despite one corner being on the required slope and lower than the other corners. Hence I have had to mickey one corner and slacken the tension so that I can quickly undo it when it rains. Overall, I am not very happy with it and would rather have one that is not waterproof.
Not bad for the price
about 1 year ago
2019-11-26T22:22:01+00:00Good quality, delivered quickly. However, found that even with the corners tensioned very tightly, the centre sags down quite low. Extremely waterproof, as we found, when it rained and filled up with water!
STRETCHES!!!
about 1 year ago
2019-11-18T21:41:41+00:00After installing a 5x5, I declined to install my 3.6x3.6 because: These sails look great BUT, unless you take them down for rainy days, they STRETCH, water pools and that only causes them to stretch more! Retensioning is a PITA and will require frequent adjusting of corner tie-downs as conditions deteriorate. Creating a steep-sided "tent" seems to ease this problem but is an "ugly" semi-solution.

Value for money
over 2 years ago
2019-01-15T07:06:32+00:00The sail is generally well constructed and, for the price, it effectively serves its purpose. The D-rings are quite a light grade but seem to do the job. Webbing connections are thinner than ideal but again seem to do the job. The sail shape isn't great for properly tensioning the whole sail, but is still close enough to be usable. Overall, this is the cheapest sail I found in this shape and size and it does what it's meant to. Unsure yet what life it will get. Highly recommend this sail for a budget buyer.

Shade Sail Square 3.6m x 3.6m Beige
over 2 years ago
2018-11-07T07:26:16+00:00Worked fine and looked good until it rained. I had over a 1 meter drop-off between the top and the bottom but this was obviously not enough as it still filled with water and has stretched the sail. I pulled it down after 24 hours. I am sure it would work fine but needs a bigger drop-off than 1m.The measurements are also not as specified as the 3.6m is a bit more than the corner measurements only so the actual coverage for shade from the sail is quite a bit less than specified. Maybe this should be added into the specifications as I needed the full 3.6m which I now don't have.

Better than would think for price.

2018-01-20T15:10:25+00:00Was surprised to find this is fully waterproof. No instructions so put all connections at same height caused it to fill up like a pool. Should have instructions with recommended fitting instructions. Lower one corner like pic on website now fine.One to thing you do have to do also is crank the tension till super tight.

Size is not accurate
over 4 years ago
2017-01-30T13:54:21+00:00You should note; 3.6m is corner to corner measurement. As all 4 edges are curved in quite a lot its effective measurement is actually 3m x 3m. When I was viewing this before purchase I wanted to know if I need to buy either snap hooks or D shackles to attach it to the eyes on the wall so asked a question on chat, the lady said "It comes with D rings" so I decided the D rings were sprit open type and can be attached to the eyes directly but were not. If the instruction from this company was a little clearer I could've ordered small hardwares at the same time and could save the freight. But otherwise it is a good product, just be aware this square shape is not as strong as triangle shape against wind it tend to move up & down alot even stretched tight.
