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!

The shade arrived and it’s a perfect fit! Looks like it will provide great shade over my new outdoor furniture when it arrives. We’ll see how it holds up.

Absolute gorgeous sunsail !!! The color is spot on and it came with the ropes to have it hung. It’s a great material that doesn’t seem like it will rip or hold water when it rains. Sunsails can be tricky but this is a great quality item !! Will absolutely be ordering more

Hoping it will be sturdy enough to withstand normal wind and rain, and not get any holes in it. A little annoyed it didn’t already come with installation accessories (see photo), but it shouldn’t be hard to go out and find the proper pieces needed to hang it. The description says “thicker fabric” but I’m not so sure it’s very thick. We’ll see how it works out

Extremely small. Would need two or three of these to actually shade an area. The center is very small compared to the tips. Definitely not 8ft of shade. The long points take most of the area and are not very useful. Not to mention the wire to hang up seems very cumbersome. I would recommend a larger size for sure, 8ft is very small compared.
