Coolaroo 473105 Ready to Hang Shade Sail, Steel

This is my second Coolaroo sunsail. Bought it November 2023 at Amazon in Spain. It replaced a 6 year old Coolaroo of the same "square" size which then tore at a middle seam. But 6 years is ok. This new one now did not come with the iron triangles at the corners but instead only fabric loops. I mounted it May 24 for the summer season, took it down for Winter in October and had just remounted it a week ago. There was some wind last night but not gale force. It ripped apart right at the fabric loop. Update: I contacted Coolaroo in Australia. Turned out that this "Ready to Hang" sunsail is the cheapest quality they produce. It is not designed for permanent or even semi-permanent rigging. Meaning: If there is some wind, maybe from a thunderstorm close by, you have to go out and rescue the sail. Of course nobody writes that into the description at Amazon. On top of this, I learned that this sail here is supposed to be sold only in the US. That is why the measures are in feet and inch. For guarantee purposes Amazon gives you a link of the manufacturer Coolaroo/Gale Pacific in Australia. Since I am in Spain and the sunsail was never supposed to be sold there, I had a problem. They claimed that they could not make the US organization replace a sail in Europe. And Spain has it's own resellers like Optimus, Ymas, Coinfer who of course would not replace my torn US sail. YOu better go out and buy from these resellers directly to avoid this trap. And Amazon? You should do something about not misleading your trusty clients. It was only for the dedicated work of the absolutely fantastic European Sales Manager from Coolaroo that I was sent a replacement out of his personal stock. I give him 6 stars, 2 stars to Coolaroo for the usefulness of the product itself (who wants to rig a sail of that size and then pull it down as soon as the wind goes into a medium range) and no star to Amazon for leading customers into that trap.

Awesome shade sail. Permeable material so rain doesnt pool on it. Replaced the poly rope with aluminum caribeeners and coated steel cables for maximum tension to keep it from flapping in the wind. Much cheaper solution for a hot deck rather than ridged awnings or erect-a-set gazeebos that will get destroyed in high wind environments. Will be buying a few more to stagger them across the deck for a resort-style spa look. Having just one looks like a giant thong suspended in the air. The neighbors will be so jealous!

5 de 5 estrellas, es un excelente producto, lleva 4 años colocado en el patio de casa y sigue sin ningún detalle, solo tuve que mandar a reparar una esquina porque con los fuertes vientos se desgastó y rompió la cuerda. Sin duda cuando cumpla su tiempo de vida volveré a comprar este producto.

Coolaroo is the best name in sun shade. very high quality. This my third sun shade from it, never disappoint me. Highly recommended!!

We have not used the shade sail yet but will this summer. It seems very well made and we have other Coolaroo products that we have been using for years. We love the roll down shades. They work excellent!
