The awnings we use not only for the shade outdoors, but above all in order to shield our windows. On hot days it is about 10 ° C cooler in the apartment and finally pleasant again. I recommend everyone to use a breathable sailing - no heat storage is formed under and the plants get from the rain. The structure and color are very nice and the seams seem stable. The first small storm has already unscathed the sail.
The only downside: The sail is not rectangular, but a little bent inward (as shown on the graph also visible). Thus, the extent fooled unfortunately extremely: the eyelets may indeed be spaced apart from 4m x 3m, the sail itself is but small. We would therefore have to purchase a whole number greater than what we could unfortunately see only after the construction.
