ColourTree 8' x 12' Beige Sun Shade Sail

Great product we have purchased several of these through the years they really stand up to the weather. And provide great shade in the summer. They are also not an eye sore. I will say we tried other brands and they were awful did not last a year in the weather and ripped up. Colour tree is the only brand you will get your money’s worth.

Great shade. I was able to stretch it well and get all the wrinkles out. Very glad I bought it. I got the 8x12 version. The dimensions are 8x12 corner to corner but it curves in on each side so make sure you take that into account when you decide on the size you need.

We decided to try a sun shade as a temporary solution to see if keeping the sun off the front window made a difference in the temp of the house. It provides very good shade (surprising for not being very thick). The edging and corners seem sturdy and have been holding up to rain and medium winds. I'll include here that as others have noted its 8 x10 TO THE CORNERS & it's designed to be stretched, so the main part of the shade isn't a full 8x10. This didn't bother us, as we knew what to expect and didn't have a fixed area to cover. Also it DOES NOT include the hardware to install. Make sure you buy some sort of a it - we opted for another kit on Amazon since we didn't need the cording. It is NOT waterproof (see picture) but it IS water resistant. If you don't have the shade at an angle where the water runs off, the water pools up and then drips thru the shade meshing . I find it drips thru more at the folds from shipping. Again, this is a bummer (and a lack of planning on our part to get the angle right) but was not a deal breaker for us since we didn't intent it as a permanent/ year round/sit underneath solution. Overall I'm really happy and yes, it shades the front window well and reduces the temp in the house by almost 10 degrees!

This shade sail is pretty straight forward. Made of lightweight material that provides very effective shade. We have it strung over our pool. It has tolerated strong winds and heavy rains. Time will tell regarding durability and UV resistance, but I like it enough I will be ordering a second one. Follow-up after 15 months - We use this sun shade to cover the shallow end of our pool during the hottest time of the year here in South Florida. So it is up for about three months from around the middle of June until September. It helps keep the pool cooler, and makes for a much more pleasant swim experience when the sun is high. The tarp still looks good, no mold, mildew or algae, and I see no evidence of deterioration. In heavy rain it does collect some water, but it passes through pretty quickly. I inserted a large grommet in the center to assist with drainage, but it doesn't seem to help much. Get this tarp, you won't be disappointed.

I live in the South West and need to cover my dog kennels three seasons of the year. Two years ago I bought this product in the yellow/beige color, and it really blocked the sun, giving my dogs very good shade. I bought 3 more of what I thought was the same product (same seller, same item description), in two different colors. I was disappointed that, though they do give some shade, the protection is not nearly as good as the older shadecloths, and they cost more. I actually had to put two together to get the almost the same protection that the older one afforded. But I like the d-rings, I connect to the pens with carabiners, so they are quick to put on, and they are sturdy.

I used this 8 x 12 sun shade to wrap a tree out here in Arizona where the summer has been insanely hot. This worked perfectly and I bought a second one to cover some smaller bushes that were getting mauled by the sun. I was able to save them! Great product; great price. Thank you!

Very easy to install. This is my second purchase and a great addition to what I already have.

I purchased this as an alternative to a large offset umbrella because I wanted more coverage, and wanted to be able to hang outdoor lights as well. This canopy works great for the purpose - dilutes the sun and looks nice. I didn't see any installation instructions so I looked up a tutorial on YouTube. I followed those instructions, but my canopy sags, despite my measuring and re-measuring. We'll have to move the 2 of the anchor spots so the canopy can be pulled taut, but even with the sagging it looks ok. I purchased a second of these in a different size for a separate location so they will match and look nice. Great value for the money. Knocking off 1 star on installation for there being no instructions. UPDATE: My husband moved the anchor points on the side of the house to stretch it and it no longer sags. It looks really good still - has been up for almost a year - and lasted through the winter weather (heavy rain, heavy wind gusts, some freezing nights). We purchased a hanging kit on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MXZUU6X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1), looked up hanging instructions on You Tube, and voila! The rain does go through the fabric though, so this is a true SUN shade, not a waterproof rain cover.

We strung this up overlapped with a second one under our pergola over our patio. It works very well as a bright sun shade with no burning. We had to buy the correct lengths of aircraft wire at Home Depot and a few extra karabiners to the purchased package of installation gear. The supplied screws would have been more useful if the had been wood screws.

yeah finally something that fits my pergola like a glove !!!! shade here I come!!! just wish it was 8 feet wide in the middle

Colour is beautiful. It gave good shade and repelled most water. So dripping after a while. Unfortunately size won't work for our space.

llego antes de lo esperando, buena calidad totalmente y con las características deseadas, justo lo que estaba buscando. Muy recomendado

Had an issue with the original order but colour tree shipped out a new one free of charge, no questions asked. Excellent and fast customer service.
