AsterOutdoor Sun Shade Sail Rectangle 12' x 16' UV Block Canopy for Patio Backyard Lawn Garden Outdoor Activities, Sand

I loved this awning from AsterOutdoor. It provides excellent shade, protects from the intense sun, and keeps the area much cooler. It's durable, easy to install, and perfect for the patio or for outdoor activities. If you have pets that like to be outdoors but need shade, this awning is ideal.

Update: I watched this thing during Hurricane Francine and there’s not one hole in it. It flapped in the wind but never came down. Pretty impressive. Get one. Plain and simple. See video. I bought this when I had a birthday party this year at 51. I was able to hang it over my patio on an especially hot day where there was a heat advisory. It made such a big difference. My swing and another chair or directly under it, and I’m able to sit out there and relax with without excessive heat. It has rained many times since my birthday and there’s not a rip or tear nor any sign that this thing is falling apart. If you hang it right and if you buy it with the tool kit that helps you hook it up it will last you a really long time. My birthday party was in May. It is now August , I will come and update if there’s any change, but I don’t see one in the near future

Okay , where to begin. First and foremost READ THE DIRECTIONS AND ALL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION. I read many reviews before buying this and if most people would have just taken the time to read they could've saved themselves a ton of heartache and time!! Ordered the 16'x20' May of 2021 and used it for one summer so far. The shade coverage was enough for a rectangle table and 6 chairs, 5 piece rattan outdoor furniture set, a cooler table, an extra- large deck box and still had PLENTY of space to walk freely between them!!! We took it down in October 2021 for the season and saw that there was a tear along one of the seams. We contacted Amazon and they replaced the product immediately. We did purchase the 5 year extended warranty for this item and I HIGHLY suggest you do the same because it just makes sense! Pay the extra $13 and know that for at least 5 years you will have a product that you can enjoy for several seasons. We did not have to make a claim for the replacement because it was still covered under the manufacturers warranty. Things to KNOW and SUGGESTIONS: - the item was exact color and size that was pictured (note: the dimensions are from D ring to D ring, it is not perfectly square and it's not designed to be. The sides arc in some and this allows you to get the shade taut). - It is great relief from the sun but it is in no way water-resistant, a light mist will soak anything underneath it. - If there is heavy rain it will pool in the center and sag, so make sure to put it at a slight angle downward on one side to allow the water to run off. - Use at a minimum 4x4 10 foot posts (bigger diameter would be better) for larger sun shades to support the tension and decrease the chances of the post bowing. We attached the sail to the eaves and then 2 posts on the opposite side. We buried and cemented and the posts 1/3 in the ground. - Get quality turnbuckles, carabiners, and thick wire, etc. to attach the shade. Do not use the flimsy rope that comes with it if you expect the shade sail to be taut and not droop. You may have to tighten throughout the season depending on the wind/weather it sustains and how much it naturally stretches. - When tightening the sail be sure to tighten corners that are diagonal from one another so it will tighten evenly. If you start in one corner and move in a square you will hate everything about this item because it will ALWAYS be uneven and droopy. - I suggest using rivets to reinforce the seams (or a big needle and string). - WATCH VIDEOS on the different ways to set up the shade sail to make assembly as simple as possible, you will be grateful you did. Overall the item was what I expected and as long as you take care of it and do your research assembly will be pretty simple. I would but this again!

Easy to put up and it provides shade and privacy

Bought this for my driveway to protect my car from the sun. It worked well and even kept the car several degrees cooler. Unfortunately, I left it up over winter, and heavy snow tore it apart. I’ll definitely repurchase when it’s on sale again.

This item doess not measure 6' x 10' as advertised. The sellers size is measured from the corner rings which flare outward from the material. Actual measurements from middle of the material is 4'4" x 8' 4". Make sure to verify that the size of the product will provide the coverage you need. Side seams and corners s appear to be doubled and well sewn.

Great product. Love the color and be sure to measure to get the right hanging kit. Looks beautiful!

Works great. We were really struggling to find some method of shading our 1970s solarium from the late afternoon sun and while we are using this in a someone unorthodox manner (draped instead of suspended in the air) it works perfectly for our purpose. And it looks nice!

Fácil de colocar aguanta la tensión y deja pasar la liz

Me gusto mucho la malla, las esquinas vienen reforzadas, lo unico que no utilice fue la cuerda que se incluye pero es de nylon y no tiene buen agarre desde mi puntlnde vista. Solo compre las armellas y una piola.

Material de alta qualidade

Relatively strong. Hopefully can last

I chose the AsterOutdoor shade sail for my terrace, looking for protection against the sun and UV rays. My expectations ? Durability, efficiency and aesthetics. The design is elegant, fitting in perfectly with my outdoor space. The first installation was a breeze, but the real tests came with time. The fabric held up to the elements, but I noticed some slight fading over the months. A strong point: its ability to effectively block UV, protecting my family and me from harmful rays. The overall quality is satisfactory. The fabric is sturdy, despite the fading. In terms of performance, it excels in UV protection and resists gusts of wind well, a major advantage. Benefits : - Weather resistant. - Good UV protection. - Easy to install. Disadvantages: - Flows over time. - Requires regular cleaning to maintain its appearance. Compared to other shade sails on the market, the AsterOutdoor stands out for its robustness and ease of installation. Some may offer better fade resistance, but at a higher cost. Clean it regularly to maintain its appearance. In winter, consider dismantling it to extend its lifespan.
