Used this over our EBoP deck just over the summer period (say 3 months) and got 3 summers use until it became brittle and more easily tore. The structural cord is very strong and resilient. I took it down only when winds were high. It gives a good mottled shade, flexes well in the breeze, and was easy to erect and take down (I used s/s clips and 6 metre bamboo poles which each lasted a season). I reckon it looks cooler than big heavy dense shades. Downside: so much plastic, and I doubt it can be recycled??

Was tossing up between this and a cheaper alternative, went with this since it was double sided (brown with green background on one side, green with brown background on the other). It is very well made with metal o-rings holding the mesh net to the camo pattern make the entire net very strong. Paracord (?) surrounds the perimeter of the net with loops tied into each corner making it super easy to hang up on surroundings or weigh down with objects. The image seems to show a whiteish netting but in reality (for me at least) the netting was a dark green color. This net is a little on the pricey side compared to some alternatives but in my opinion it is well worth the price when you see it in person.
