Tried & True Honest opinion for the Royal Shade Sail Triangle with roping cables in the 18x18x18 size. Many of my friends have the canvas sunshades, always commenting either how heavy or moldy they can become after one season. I researched on WayFair for an ideal solution finding this particular style in the white color. Made out of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) this is considered to be a strong, lightweight, and durable thermoplastic made from petroleum. Known for its high strength-to-density ratio and excellent resistance to chemicals and moisture, it is one of the most widely used plastics in the world, however there are some draw backs as I temporarily hung it above my back patio. Ironically, as soon as this was delivered, my HOA advised to take everything down off of the house since I am scheduled for the upcoming painting cycle. Being hung temporarily, it was easy to hang, sun shining thru brightened the area under a canopy as providing an easy shade. The unveiling: packaged well, instructions and hardware included. I included the no no's on the instruction page as one has to wait for the fold wrinkles to iron out themselves over time, no regular ironing, no dryer, no dry clean, no scrubbing with a stiff brush or cleaners, no bleach as can lead to permanent breakdown of fabrics. UM.....alrighty then.
The fabric is definitely a loose plastic weave with tiny air holes thru out to allow air flow. Not water proof (as stated) as I sprayed a hose over it, water does pool in any loose areas so make sure the fabric is very taught. Light weight for traveling and can be hung by one person. Included are pictures up close of the material as not really seen on the website. Now knowing what to expect, no surprises at this time, I am looking forward to hanging it up over the patio, and sitting under the canopy of shade for the upcoming summer heat. Enjoy!. Kelly.
