"PERFECTION!!!!!"
- Bev L
"We have 2 covers; one on each side."
Bev L, Jul 17, 2023
This cover is PERFECT for our west-facing pergola! We put it up ourselves; tip- tie twine around the 4 corner grommets, then use the twine to help “pull” the cover over the top. If there is a seam in your cover, it goes up and down, not sideways. 😉. We can now sit under the cover, look up and see the sun, but it is shaded and it’s really perfect! We used bungees to secure and toggle bolts on the corners. We now have a perfectly useable deck and pergola. We also got shades to go on the front.

"Good quality cover."

I think I was one of the first customers for this product. My first cover was miscut (too short) and had to be redone. The second attempt turned out perfectly. Cover is well made, heavier material, good quality grommets and stitching.

The drapes look great and block out the sun. WE can use our gazebo all day long now. We have been locking for a product like these drapes for quite a lone time.

Product came in sized as expected and in a timely fashion. Quality material, but would love some other colors. The sizing and ordering process was simple and accurate. Will definitely use the coverstore for other projects like out door drapes.

Outdoor Shades Frequently Asked Questions

Sail shades are perfect for patios, decks, and gardens, enhancing the area's aesthetics while offering practical shade and comfort. They're a cost-effective and stylish alternative to more permanent structures like pergolas, allowing for flexible design options that can be adjusted as needed.
