Colaroo Triangle Shade Sail

I really like the shade sail and I am considering more. I live in Yuma AZ where shade is critical in the summer. In the winter when I want sunshine I can take it down. It's perfect for my needs. Attractive too!More detail ...

Nice Shade Great Price

Our local store was selling this for twice Amazon's price so the price was great. Installation went okay I suppose. Overall it wasn't too difficult except they wanted the hole for the post to be 2ft diameter by 4ft deep ... any idea how hard it is to dig a hole with those dimensions? Would have been MUCH easier with an auger but didn't want the added expense. Now that the sail is up though it's great and I highly recommend for a quicker cheaper option than building a covered porch or pergola. Also it comes down really easily when the Oklahoma winds pick up which is a plus.More detail ...

Superb quality shade product!

Before ordering I was dubious about the quality of this product at the price. When I received it I was amazed at the quality of the sail itself and the hardware provided is top notch heavy duty stainless steel marine grade. This is a bargain. This sail is clearly made of very high quality materials and very well stitched for strong wind tolerances. They even provide a warranty registration card! If this is any indication of the quality of this company's products you can purchase them without any concerns whatsoever about the quality durability or appearance. Wow!More detail ...

good overall but not strong enough

I am using it as additional covered area for large garden tools. Pros -stands up to wind very easy to put up - one person can do it two people would be better; carrying bag is a plus- especially if you have a dog who is impatient and decides to unpack the shipping box. He ripped the box the carrying case and then got tired which saved the canopy from getting damaged ;-)



Cons - the fabric sags a bit and after rain it creates a puddle of water that then leaks through. So I put two coats of water-proof spray - it reduced but not completely fixed the problem. Then one day I looked at it and it was bent way too low -- the light frame could not hold the weight of the water in that "puddle" of water and bent the horizontal support pieces. It still stands but I use tarps to cover most valuable items under it. Would not buy it again. It should be good for short trips to the beach market sales etc. and you have to fold it after the use. Do not buy it for permanent use.More detail ...

Almost perfect...

Bought this in May 2006 for $99.99 with free shipping from Amazon LLC. Well packed and quickly shipped. Carry bag is fairly sturdy and has an expansion zipper that makes for easy packing of the pieces and allows the possiblity of carrying other things in the bag with the shelter. Instructions are water-resistant coated and are permanently attached to the top inside of the carry bag so they can't be misplaced. They include a contents list and easily understood and well layed out set up instructions. Inside bag are a seperate bag for poles and another for stakes. Product description lists 5 shock-corded poles but there are actually 15 of various sizes that join with heavy ABS plastic connectors to form a geodesic dome. Poles are powder-coated steel with spring-loaded steel cable shock-cords. Poles have steel spring tabs that lock into the ABS connector slots. 10 stakes are included 5 steel wire for securing the legs and 5 high impact plastic for securing the guy ropes. Canopy is light to medium rip stop nylon with tabs for the included nylon guy ropes and a nylon strap/buckle set-up on the ends to secure the canopy to the legs. Velcro tabs secure the inside top of canopy to the dome. Set-up takes about 20-30 minutes depending upon how much "help" you have. I have mostly used this on the beach (pic in customer photo area). It easily withstands constant winds of 20 mph and has weathered gusts up to 50 mph without any problems while anchored in sand. I would have rated it a 5 but the powder-coating on the poles is pretty weak and was worn off on the ends after the first use . I rinse mine with fresh water after returning home and treat them with a rust-inhibitor after they dry but this will be the first thing to fail eventually. Will probably end up trying to replace with carbon/graphite after they wear out. All in all this is by far the best of the 4 shade designs we have owned in the past 20 years. ALL of the others died due to wind/storm damage.More detail ...

Not bad.

I bought this last week and set it up once. It's not my first instant canopy. My last one was not a Bravo Weekender; it broke due to rust after 2 years of use (maybe used it 12 times a year for 1 or 2 days at a time).



Not sure why the other ratings on this canopy are so low other than it might be due to the fact that Bravo has redesigned the canopy and the older design might not have been as good? A friend has the exact same model but his is older. His has push pin locks the new design has pull-pin locks. There are other more subtle differences as well but I don't think they are to do with durability. The new design has a more rounded top due to a diffent upper frame. I think this might help shed water better without rain water building up in pools on the lower part of the roof fabric. Water pooling in the lower part of the roof fabric was also a problem with my last canopy. That is occasionally had to push the canopy up from the inside to shed the pooled water if it was raining. I haven't tried this new canopy yet in the rain so time will tell if it's any better than my last.



This canopy is easy to setup and take down. One person can do it without too much difficulty but easier with two people. It's also easy to get back into the storage bag which is important to me. It seems well made and durable. Of course it won't stand up to heavy winds but no canopy intended for temporary shelter would. I don't understand the low ratings other have left. This is a very nice canopy much better than my old one that I had for 2 years. It's perfect for camping trips and that's exactly what I use it for. Keeps the rain off your head or the sun out of your eyes. For [...] with free shipping it's a great deal. If I get two years use out of it I'll be a happy camper but I have a feeling this one will last longer then my last.More detail ...

Canopy for summer

Great canopy for temporary backyard events - bar-b-ques b-day parties etc. Have trees for shade but big open space in the middle which is where this canopy fits perfectly. Small lightweight easy to manage. More detail ...
