ECOOPTS 7'x11' Retractable Wave Sun Shade Canopy Pergola Cover Shade Sail Awning for Patio Porch Garden Yard Deck Outdoor (Light Grey)

Nice shades. Easy install

Takes some patience to install but works well and looks good. Components are rusty already within a year so plan accordingly

I bought three of these for shading our pool during the hot summer months in Arizona. Very happy with them. They have been up for one season. I took them down for the winter months and just put them back up for this summer.

We purchased the ECOOPTS 7'x26' Retractable Wave Sun Shade Canopy last year, and it has been a great addition to our outdoor space. The retractable design is incredibly convenient for adjusting the amount of shade depending on the time of day.Pros:The material feels durable and provides excellent shade.The installation process was straightforward with clear instructions.The canopy slides smoothly on the rails, making adjustments quick and easy.Cons:It struggles a bit in strong winds, so I recommend retracting it during storms or high winds to avoid damage.Overall, this is a functional and stylish canopy that has made spending time outdoors much more comfortable. I’d recommend it for anyone looking to add flexible shade to their patio or deck!

Install was super easy, came with directions.However, I didn't use some of the hanging hardware, I instead purchased threaded Eye bolts that went thru the wood and tightened the steel cables as much as possible to minimize sag.The mesh covering material is woven plastic which makes it permeable but wont retain water to add weight.Install was a little time consuming not due to instructions but because I made constant adjustments until I was pleased. Super happy with it.I ordered 1 (7ft wide x 16ft long) at first to see if it was worth buying more.I then purchased 2 (4ft x 16ft) and another (7ft x 16ft).If you need to shorten to a size not available… its easy to cut down. The rails are aluminum and can be cut with a grinder, the mesh cover can be cut with scissors, the fiber rod can be cut with a serrated knife or large sharp scissors. The end caps are plastic and secure with a Philips screw. Reassembly is a handful, a second hand makes reassembly easy.I added rope and pulleys to retract 2 at a time and hold them open or closed. Shortened as needed and kept the excess for parts if needed in the future.

We bought two 4 x 12 Red sails even though the length needed was only 7 feet because the standard sizes are so much cheaper. We easily cut off 3 sections to shorten to the length we wanted. We were initially disappointed with the color because it's not really "red", more like dark burgundy (think Earth tone red). However, it actually looks great so we are fine with it. As others have noted, you need a hook or magnet to hold the sail when fully extended otherwise it will retract with a breeze. This should be incorporated into the standard parts of this product. The fabric is pretty thin so time will tell if it is durable.

We live on an acreage and get a lot of wind....we were looking for something that wouldn't catch wind. So far so good!!

We are using it in are sunroom. It really helps with the heat build up. My wife and I love it
