Royal Shade 8' W x 16' L Grey Pergola Sun Shade Canopy Replacement Cover, Commercial Grade 260 GSM Cloth for Outdoor Patio, Includes Stainless Steel Weighted Rods (We Make Custom Size)

I was hesitant to get the darker color thinking it wouldn’t reflect the sun and resulting heat, but it does just as the description shows and sends almost all right back to Mr. Sun! I think summer is gonna be more enjoyable, even in Louisiana heat and humidity! So far, all that I read that encouraged me to go ahead and order has checked out: quality, color, fit, and shade ability.

Had tried others and this one works well. The ties keep it from blowing away. We still had to add additional zip ties - but it is much better than the other options we tried in a high wind area.

We have only used it once.. fit was good!

We are using it for a replacement sail. It fits perfectly on our structure. It is actually nicer than the sail that came with our structure!

Seems well constructed and a heavy enough weight to withstand the crazy winds we have been getting this year. The rods are nice, but don’t seem to have any additional weight to them. Purchased ball bungees to secure the canopy to the pergola at the grommet points. Was easy to install (one person).

Fabric seems ok thickness but even after months of being stretched over pergola for shade, you see all the folds and wrinkles from delivery. I thought material would smooth out after install. Also the brown created an unexpected red colored shade to my patio and sun room. I should have chosen the cream color but thought matching the wood frame would be ideal. The end bar that holds tension is super thin for the 12 ft expanse and bows when fastened down to keep fabric from flapping. It is barely enough weight to keep fabric in place and definitely does zero to help smooth the folds and creases in fabric. It's been 4 months.

Shade fit my gazebo like a charm. It looks like it was made for it. Original shade opened and closed, folding up via rods. I didnt want to keep original type of shade so I chose this one. Material seems to be more durable. Very happy with my purchase.

The media could not be loaded. Color faded after only 2 months.Also, because it is waterproof, water sits on top of it for days, weighing down the fabric in between the top slats
