Summary: Shade Is Good!
Comment: We installed this square Coolaroo over our 10X10 patio, and it has worked perfectly. It provides shade and blocks UV so the kids can play outside even when the sun is the hottest. This has been a much better option than using any sort of umbrella because it provides a larger area of shade, is more durable, and won't tip over or blow away in the wind. The Coolaroo transformed our patio into an outdoor "room" with a "ceiling" that we use everyday. We did make one mistake when installing it though. We attached two Coolaroo corners to the roof on our house, and used a post-hole digger to dig two 3 foot holes into the ground for posts for the other two corners. The Coolaroo website recommends filling the holes with gravel for dry soil, or concrete for wet soil to support the posts. We normally have very dry soil, so we used gravel. Then we had an unusually rainy and windy spring season, and now our posts are leaning slightly. I would recommend using concrete to install the posts in ALL soil types if you want permanent stability.

The HARDWARE IS INCLUDED with the Coolaroo even though it is not listed in the description. We purchased 2 extra carabiner clips from the hardware store so we could have carabiners on every corner (box includes 2 carabiners and 2 hook and screw type clips, etc).
