Yep, it’s a sunshade: a giant piece of cloth that matches the dimensions and has a couple grommets. I’ve only had it up for a few days but it’s doing its job and has already survived two Florida thunderstorms.It seems like good outdoor material with a nice, bright color (we got the blue) and thick enough to provide decent shade and damage protection. However, it costs well south of $100 (under $50 in my case) and probably should not be compared to a $400 setup. It’s also loosely woven enough to allow some water to pass through, which is a critically important thing if you plan to stretch it flat out like we did. That way the water doesn’t pool on top and cause problems. It also allows enough air to pass through to reduce the danger of it becoming a strong enough sail to tear the cloth or pull your anchors out of the wall. The cloth also feels like it will last in the sun, but only time will tell.I was impressed with the stitching at this price point. All the sides were at least double-stitched and feel pretty sturdy. There weren’t even any stitching threads hanging loose.A couple notes of interest:*Even the right-triangle version has sides that are curved. This makes it more visually appealing, and possibly more structurally sound, but reduces the shaded area substantially and may leave “gaps” if you’re trying to fit it to an inside corner of a building, as we were. It creates little slivers right next to the wall that still get hit heavily by rain and sun.*I deducted one star from the ease of installation because it does not come with any mounting hardware. Mounting kits can be found on Amazon for about $15, or you can piece them together from a big box store for a little less. Remember that at least one corner’s mounting should be adjustable so that you can pull it tight again after the initial stretch-out of the first couple days. We went with 3 eye screws, two carabiners (for easy removal) and a few feet of rope. The rope lets us adjust the tension as needed. That’s a pretty cheap setup and we had everything laying around anyway.*It’s not important, but the color of your cloth may affect the color of the shadow.All-in-all, I’m very happy with my purchase. I may return it, but that would only be to buy a bigger one since I didn’t account for the curved edges.
