We bought the 5m x 4m which is on the larger side to tension, we used an extendable pole punctured into a tennis ball to the centre of the sheet anchored with a parasol base at the bottom and it has doubled as a shade screen and waterproof tent for the patio furniture.
It was really well packed. Very versatile in terms of how one would like to hang it. Also used it to protect my plants from direct heat. Very useful. Now will fold and store away for the winter.
Needed something to put over pergola to shade hammock below . This Sun Shade Sail did the job perfectly .
A good buy .
very easy to install did exactly what it needed to shade my patio area great quality material
Easy to install with two people once you buy the extra kit, bery sturdy, great in sunshine but ponds when it rained so would advise taking down if rain forcasted, overall good value for money
i liked the easieness of putting up also strength of securing fittings very good and thickness of sail excelle
The cover is very durable and makes a great cover for the grandkids to go into the pool. The guide rope is very strong. Recommend this cover to anyone who have young children outside in the garden.
Does the job well although haven’t got the fixings yet which would make it easier to install. Haven’t had a chance to try out the waterproofing cos if the dry weather. Overall a decent product .
It’s exactly as described. The sail offers great shade and feels really sturdy.
We fixed the sail over our pergola it made such a difference, gave us a fabulous shaded area
Yet to put it up but looks good, colour and size
This is a good water proof sun shade that I’m very pleased with it.i would recommend this product to all my family and friends definitely.
Grey sunshade arrived on time and looks of good quality and durability. At present i am awaiting the fixings to attach to our harbour. Will update with pics once these have arrived.
Needed something to keep the sun off of the sand pit so children can play in it during the day as we have sun there most of the day
This is just the right size for it
It rained the other day and it kept the sand pit dry
Easy to fit shielding Sun fitted in my conservatory roof.
Easy to put up, colour as described. Really good quality fixings
It covers our patio and keeps the heat out of our kitchen and dining room
Bought to take to a caravan. Folds up and comes with rope to secure. Seems well made. Not tried in the rain.
Does what it says did have to but attachments with it cos nothing to attach it to but 30 all In a lot cheaper than a gazebo and you can unclip it and put it away in couple of mins would recommend
The sail is waterproof and the price is very good. It arrived in perfect condition & quickly. However, the material is very thin and I’d recommend not buying this one if a cat is likely to walk on it! It’s very plasticky and stretches out of shape – not like my previous sail which lasted 4 years, was thicker reinforced material and didn’t pierce or tear when my cat got on it to use like a hammock! It’s fine if no cats are lurking!
Put this sail up on our patio, so easy to install and the shade it gives is great.
Came quickly robust material great for peotecting us from the sun. Good quality
I bought for my garden, it’s waterproof and easy to install. Its very convenient to use when kids want to play outside or just work outside in sunny. I had them over a year and it’s very sturdy in the wind but I take them down if strong winds are forecast.
Pleasantly surprised at the very good quality of the Ankuka sun shade, def value for money with speedy delivery. So easy to install with added bonus of free sun shade fixings and a guarantee. What more could you ask for ? I will certainly be buying more for my south facing garden.
Bought to cover our pergola.
Be aware that the size is taken from the end rings so main part of the sail about 60cm small both ways than listed.
Very good quality, great colour.
Attachments can be obtained through supplier free of charge but no evident when initially ordering. Material seems to be of good quality. Water resistance hasn’t been tested ye
It is made of very durable material and easy to install.
Bought it last year and initially it was great . However this year when reinstated again it sags and nylon ropes are braking . Sure this should last longer than one season !
Great quality of material – exactly the right size too. Love the colour! Very much recommend this to anyone interested!
The quality of this sun shade, even down to the storage pouch it comes in, is outstanding for the price. It even includes guy ropes. Very high quality item, really pleased.
Great quality sail in lovely colour, perfect for some much needed shade on our patio.
This was the second one as the wrong one was sent first time.
Does just what ti’s ment to.
Thanks..
Product seems good quality although I haven’t been able to put it up yet as you have to go back to them to order fixings separately. Overall looks good though, nice colour, thick fabric. Can’t comment on installation ease as waiting on parts. On contacting customer services though, they are quick to respond.
Been up nearly 2 days and so far so good .. stayed up through a storm but will hold rain water I have made a lower anchor point on one corner so it can drain its self and be raised for the sunny weather … so far so good but when installing with the ropes provided please bare in mind that they will stretch a little within first 24 hours or so in slight wind so you will need to re tension them accordingly..
We can move the sail to different areas of the garden as the seasons change
Serves the purpose fixed under my balcony to hide joists, looks good. Happy and arrived swiftly.
Excellent quality sail shade, perfect for what i want it for.
Well made – nice colour.
Couldn’t comment on ease of installation and water resistance. We haven’t used it yet.
Just as described. Not that it would matter to most people, but the colour is quite yellow. I wanted it to match my other items in “sand” shade, which which are not as bright.
The important part is it does the job.
Update: light rain. Attached video. Rain proof but water gathered in the middle so I prodded the middle to drain it off. I put my washing line stand in the middle to prop it up and it has worked. Just going to buy a canvas cover for the line to make it look more attractive but done the trick! Happy dog sitting underneath. Doubt this would work in high winds and very heavy rain coming from all directions but who’s knows. Happy with purchase as I got this for rain more than the sun. See how long it lasts.
Great product. Very happy with it. Best to buy fixing points as well though
Really pleased with this shade. Simple to erect and remove in minutes, does the job it’s designed for. Excellent suppport from supplier.
We got this to cover a section of garden to shelter from the rain and sun. Such a high quality product for the price. The metal loops are well secured with reinforced webbing & all of the seams are taped. Well impressed. Better quality than my wild camping tarp which I paid about 37 for . Would definitely recommend.
Love this!!.. its perfect what we wanted for over the Spa…
Good quality and colour. Perfect for our needs as a shade under our large gazebo.
These are the second time I have bought them, last ones lasted for two year with being out all year round too come rain wind or snow, we actually bought them just to keep the rain off the rear garden for when the dogs are out, works a grea
It was really great until it rained and the weight of the rain stretched the material
This was a good purchase! Very nice quality and It did the job!
Works well it was a pleasure to dot under on a sunny day
Standing umbrellas are too big of our small patio being 1.5 meters wide – see photo! We have had a wet and grey August here in UK. Very little sunshine. I tested this “sail” on a number of wet days in early August. Fully waterproof! Yesterday, Sept 5th was the very first day of good sunshine. I put the sail/shade up with temporary fixings again and it proved excellent protection from the sun. The seams are well made and the ring/hooks in each corner are sewn in securely. We liked the range of colours and are pleased with our “rust” colour. The wind as well as the rain earlier in the month was bad but it remained in place. No tears, stretches or loosening of seams. so we are very pleased with the shade it gives us without taking up room around our sun chairs. Great product easy to fit and to packs away neatly. Very pleased..
I’ve waited a few weeks since I bought this shade sail as I wanted to test it fully. Unfortunately since receiving it the weather has been mostly cloudy and sometimes very windy so I haven’t really used it. I did set it up though and as far as I can tell it is definitely worth the money. It pitches taut if you get the pull-outs pulled in the right direction and sufficiently tight. The curved edges aren’t catenary, but what do you expect for the price? Everything about it is good enough, the fabric, the construction and the free fittings I sent for upon receiving it. Overall I’m pleased with my purchase.
A basic shade sail, no bells and whistles but all as expected and decent quality.
Amazing! Love it strong great tie rope bought a cheaper one it’s rubbish compared to this make good material just remember to unhook so you don’t get a big rain puddle in it but I can’t recommend this make enough !
We used this to create a shade over aviary run for our rabbits during heatwave, it’s literally saved their lives. The temperature was a marked few degrees lower under the shade. The quality is brilliant, appreciate we’ve not used as others (fastened down with tent pegs). I would definitely buy again – this is the review I left last time & it popped up again. It still applies so used it !!!
Only bought another as The first only covered half the run . This was the medium size & it’d perfect. I sought out the same seller because of the quality. We’ve kept it up in the rain and no leaks and ours is essentially flat ? But it does give you instruction in the fittings how to combat that.
During this heat wave it’s kept our run area so cool
& bunnies so chilled tempted 2 go sit in there ourselves ! Highly recommend
The wife ordered this Ankuka Sun Shade as we have a small area of the garden that is a sun trap. It appears to be a great product, as for installation I think every shade is going to be different. I can’t comment on the water resistance as we are having amazing weather at the moment.
Overall we are very happy with it, just make sure to order a fixing kit if you think you’re going to need it.
Better quality than the first one I ordered which was 2 less, strong seams. One small flaw in cloth, decided to live with it as needed for recent heat wave
Delivered quickly and thankfully a good size cover for our pergola. Easy to put up. Is not fully waterproof but would keep off a light shower. Shade was most important to me.
Prompt delivery from Amazon. Very competitively priced. The ‘sail shade’ is as described, very good quality the chosen colour is a very pleasant green colour. I am more than satisfied and am now intending to purchase a 3 x 2 m triangular sail shade for another garden location. Installation is very straightforward.
Our garden is a sun trap and we needed protection from the sun, and the sun sail does exactly that! It doesn’t let any sun through, it is easy to install and the corner fixings are solid. I also like to sit out when it rains and this sail provides excellent protection for this too. Would recommend!
It’s good! Keeps the rain generally off, also acted as sun shade. Not sure logic of it curving in at the sides though, perhaps there is some, but meant for rain especially was less effective shelte
I have an outside covered in area however because of the clear plastic roof it gets like a sauna in the hot sunny weather! I bought this as with the really hot week just gone it was too hot to sit outside but this helps shade us plus it keeps the area cool, wish I had got it long before now! As I have it under the clear roof I can’t say anything about it’s waterproofing
Really well made & value for money. I wanted something to go under a wooden pergola to make a dry area for seating. This has already been tested & so far so good. Slight drip where the material is stitched together but to be fair I didn’t have the tilt quite right.
Very easy to assemble and just the job for what we needed it for.
Great used to block sun penetrating my bi-fold doors and fading oak flooring.
Well, it’s only been up for one day but so far, looking good. The ‘sail’ is well-made with strong fixings and it connects easily to whatever you decide to use as wall/post fixings. We’ve had a few goes at putting it up, trying to find the best position and it has coped well with being hoisted and lowered several times – no signs of stress, looks like it will last for years. Obviously (the clue is in the name) you need to take it down on windy days but that’s quite simple (I screwed a cup-hook into a long wooden pole to just lift the loops off their fixings on the wall). Very pleased with this item, just hoping we get enough ‘good’ days to get the benefit!
We are very pleased with the sail and the quality of it, but were surprised to find it came with a 150mm center panel with two seams, which was not shown in the advert and feel I should point it out to you. Yours sincerely Mrs Ann Mitchell.
Order No. EX:123-123-4567-1234567AT Please forward free sunshade fitting. Many thanks Ann Mitchell
Good value and very effective. I purchased this to keep the sun off my south facing patio as it gets unbearable on hot days. Could feel the difference straight away once it was erected. The added bonus is that it folds away flat for storage / winter and it saves on the cost of an expensive awning. Quick postage too.
The lighter colour definitely keeps the below area, cooler.
I would highly recommend
Great product, allows the family and friends to enjoy the decking area for the whole day and into the evening.
We’ve spent miles more hours in the garden this year compared to years gone by as this shade keeps the sun off us in the hot weather but has also allowed us to play out in the rain, making the garden accessible at any time of day.
Having said that I would recommend taking it down in strong winds.
Extremely happy with my purchase.
I picked this sun shade along with 2 from other vendors, but in the end returned the other 2, as this one was fitting best. The thickness of the material and how the sowing was done convinced me that this is the right one to use, as we live close to a windy beach.
Its up for 2 weeks now I and I continue to be happy with it, the color even gives it a bit of a sunny feeling under it, when the clouds are up. 🙂
How wrong I was !
Not only was the price excellent and very competitive compared to similarly advertised products but the sail also matches the description exactly. It is fully waterproof and very well constructed with reinforced seams.
The size is a perfect fit for my garden space and I have no doubt that it will provide many years service.
To cap it off the customer service is also excellent.
Product was delivered the next day, on time and in good condition. We are fortunate that our garden gets the sun all day and this sail provides welcome shade without the need to keep moving smaller parasols. This is well made, with good strong D rings in each corner. Would recommend.
I have just received my sail and it’s great , I ordered the 3m x 4m the quality is excellent and very tough !!! As I only put it up yesterday I do not know what it is like in the rain but it is perfect for covering my hot tub and big enough to cover some chairs around it as well . I would definitely recommend to any one and if I need another for a different area in my garden will definitely buy again.
I was surprised at how fast my order was delivered and the generous proportions of this sunshade. Although it said ” yellow” as the colour, it was actually an even nicer Orange which casts a lovely glow in the sun.
Ankuka had also offered the fixings to go with this and their customer service seems very reliable as they answered my query immediately.
Really great sail, keeps us nice and cosy in hot tub when weather not great and shades us when it is. Good coverage as other reviews on smaller sails said didn’t cover the full hot tub and didn’t fancy trying to dodge in and out of the rain. All in all exactly what we needed.
The shade arrived very quickly and looks very good quality and sturdy. Waiting for shade fixing kit before we can get it set up and trial it so can write further once we have tried it. Very excited to get it set up. Now need some sunshine to arrive!!
Sun Sail came quickly and is exactly what we ordered. Correct measurements, well made and looks durable and strong.
Looking forward to putting it up in the summer.
Customer service was swift to respond too on the whole happy with the service
I’ve been looking at these for a while, both the triangle sails and the rectangle ones and decided to give it go. After using a standard fixing kit found elsewhere on Amazon I had this up in about 15 minutes as it was going up under a pergola. The sail itself looks great, seems to be made out of good strong material and the seams are all strong and double stitched. We have had a lot of rain recently and this stood up well to both rain and wind. Although be warned after a lot of rain they do fill (mine is at about a 20-degree angle) but freeing one corner empties it quite dramatically! The sail was very waterproof, but I did find it dripped a little through the seam when it was full of water, but for normal rainfall, this will keep you dry. Overall, it was a great purchase, with good customer service, I will be buying more colours for different parts of the garden.
Impressed so far, light weight but good quality, stitching looks strong and the colour is great nice and bright but durable enough to keep the rain out. Very please with the purchase but only used as a temporary set up so far as my posts aren’t quite square need to rig up taught as a more permanent fixture.
Last year we purchase an umbrella to shield us from the heat, it was good but had difficulties weighing it down and we kept on walking into it when it was up. This year we’ve gone for this Ankuka canopy instead, we can attach it to our walls and fence making it much more practical. The quality is great, came in an awesome little bag which will keep it clean in the winter, and when folded up it takes up much less space than the umbrella in the garage! Highly recommended.
Having used parasol and bases for many years with the second order issue of trying to deal with them in the wind, I decided to search for a sun shade with great reviews.
Having spent several days reviewing various products from different retailers, I took the plunge and ordered a sunshade from Ankuna on Amazon.
The product was well priced and had excellent reviews and on receipt (which was next day) it was easy to see why this company has great reviews…..the product was excellently packaged and using the easy to follow instructions, I had mounted it in no time. The quality of the product was exceptional.
I am delighted with the product, the ease at which it can be put up and down and the looks far surpassed what I imagined and I will definitely will not be going to the parasol based option of sun screening again.
We purchased this product as a sail to put up in the rain. We have a very bespoke space it needs to go in, so didn’t want to spend a lot to ruin with modifications. This product is perfect for our requirements. Decent quality material and appears to be well stitched.
Only reason we haven’t attached a photo is because our modifications do not do justice to the product.
Only time will tell, but this seems like a great product at a great price, and the customer services team were happy to help.
Great sun shade, lovely colour, used to cover our pergola. Works well in the sun, but haven’t had any rain yet so not sure how shower proof it is (thus 4 stars not 5). The ropes provided work well, it was so easy to put up, not at all heavy or cumbersome. However, I feel for more permanence the sturdier metal fixings are a better option.
Delighted with our sun shade, it was easy to install and so far has withstood wind and rain.
I bought this item as needed some extra shade in the garden when my toddler is playing outside on a sunny day.
But i also needed waterproof one as we were going to celebrate his birthday in the park and you never know what British weather going to turn.
As it is very light weight I was going to use it and fix it on the trees in case of rain.
Its durable, easy to install.
We will see how long its going to last but I hope quite a while until we need a new one.
Good product, co
Es as described. Beige colour ideal for reflecting the sun. Has with stood a breezy evening/night. Wouldn’t leave it up in a gale.
Love this sail, although be aware that, if it rains overnight, the sail will sag in the middle and doesn’t return to its original taughtness. This is to be expected with the material though, the seams are very strong, holds out wind perfectly, and I have purchased bungee ropes for easy fitting, which make it very quick to put up and take down. Overall I love it!
I have no complaints, this looks great, provides great shade from the sun and keeps light rain showers at bay. This has been excellent during these uncertain times of lockdown – now that we are able to have family and friends visit in our garden this has been a great shade from the sun and from showers meaning we can still sit outside in light rain. The size is perfect for our patio and was very quick to install. We take it down each evening and don’t put up if it is very windy. This is great value for money and I am very pleased with it.
We’ve had ours for a year now and it is a life saver. We have it fitted over our patio and as well as giving shade on the patio it also shields the back patio doors resulting in the kitchen being less of an oven!
The material is man made, durable and it responds well to all weathers. I have just ordered another in a triangle shape to make a funky pattern over the patio and get more coverage.
Recommended.
