And before you buy one you must consider a few important things and pitfalls. Over the years, I’ve tested loads of shade sails to bring you the best. Firstly, as the sun moves around my garden, I’d need a shade sail about 10m by 10m to actually cover the area I want! Even at this low height there are points where my neck still gets the sun! Look at the sunlight still landing on the back of the set despite this only being head height! As I say, unless the sun is directly over your head there is much to discuss 🙂 And we will get to that in my install guide! Now the first thing you’re wondering – why so low compared to the fancy pictures on the sales ads? Two reasons. But before I do, here’s the latest one I’ve tested on my sofa set: I tested the Ankuka Sun Shade Sail 2m x 3m Grey Rectangular Waterproof Garden Sun Sail The best shade sails I’ve tested start from less than twenty quid and trounce all the other sun shade methods I’ve mentioned on value by a country mile, but there are some drawbacks which I’ll go into. Step in the perfect solution: a shade sail. The larger marquee style gazebos also cost a fortune. A cantilever parasol will cost a fortune for something of decent quality, a pergola has a fixed position, and a pop up gazebo (a standard 3m2 version) won’t fit a little rattan sofa set comfortably. I thought I’d update this article because this recent bout of extreme hot weather has actually made the garden moderately uncomfortable anywhere outside of the pergola or cantilever parasol! We’ve even been using the pop up gazebo as a protector from the sun, but, and there’s a big but.
