Very nice tip! in Shade Sails

By Cocobid

We rarely see shade sails here in the United States, in contrast to countries like Australia, where their use is quite common. We stumbled upon them totally by accident and necessity about 9 years ago. After a nasty storm that tore our large awning off the western side of the patio, we needed a new form of sun protection fast. We installed these only as a temporary solution, but found that they would always be a permanent installation at our home.

God is the only thing that matters.

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29

I was just a costco & they are selling shade sails. They Do NOT have a metal grommet on the ends....just fabric so beware. They are 20$ Mfg by coolaroo. I guess you could add a stainless one? Colors brown & beige triangle shape only at ours.

I see them around pretty often. The schools all use them in the play yards and many of the newer homes use them until the trees grow. I remember my Grandpa telling me to always plant a tree on the SW side of the yard first thing, shade in the desert is essential!
