Mess Tarps from Harbor Freight make great Shades for our motorhome. Cut and sewed by hand then installed grommets which can be purchased at Harbor Freight.

If you use any type of canvas then you will have your choice of colors and patterns. Plus there companies out there use a waterproofing system called "MicroSeal" which also prevent the canvas from ever fading against the sun. Then you will be able to take this down and and throw in the washing machine or the company you used to MicroSeal your canvas should offer to come and clean the canvas and a couple of times during the year for free. I know the one here locally will do it 2 times a year and we just had them do our sofa as we have a dog that loves getting on our sofa and now our sofa repels any and all types of liquid. So this is a great way to get a custom look in your backyard. What a great idea for a shade sail!!!! I absolutely love it. And now with these fabrics coming in 108" widths it's perfect. I think that will be one project for next summer so that we have some shade on our patio. Thanks ladies!!!!!
