I purchased the yellow sun shade to hang above a dog run on the side of my house to help keep that area cool in the warm Southern California summers (and to provide a little cover for the rain that we get once or twice a year :P ). The size was perfect for that area (normal sized area on side of the house, about 6-7 feet between house and fence) and provides great shade for our dog. The color was true to the picture online, and the quality seems very good so far. The hardware that came with the shade was not the best quality, so we ended up buying stainless steel chain, carabineers, turnbuckles etc at ***** ***** instead, and we got rid of the vinyl rope that comes with it, as chains to a much better job of keeping the fabric taut.
