I ordered this because I really need something to offer some shade on my back patio. This item is as pictured and arrived in a clear plastic storage bag with rope handles. It arrived with 4 thin plastic ropes, I will probably replace them with something a little more sturdy. I would caution that it’s kind of a yellow in color, not really beige (please see photo). Mine also arrived with what looks like a dirty handprint (see photo). Well, I suppose it’s going to get dirty outside anyway. The rings are supposed to be stainless, but they are very strongly attracted to a magnet. I know stainless can sometimes be attracted to a magnet, but they stick to a magnet really, really well. It doesn’t state which stainless grade they are. Time will tell how well they last outside in the elements. All that said, I’m glad I ordered this, I think a shade sail will really make my back patio a lot more enjoyable this summer. [...]
