I am very happy with the sailcloth. I am impressed with the quality of the fabric and construction. I have installed it rather unconventionally, I think, as a rainwater drainage system under a deck. I was looking for some way to shed the water so we are able to occupy the space under the deck while it is raining. This is proving to be a pretty good solution. 

• Two things: First, when I first installed it, I did not create a steep enough slope so the rainwater collected in the middle of the cloth instead of running off the downward edge. I reinstalled with a more significant slope and it now works great! 
• Secondly, when I reinstalled it with more slope, I turned the cloth so the unfinished side that shows all of the stitching is visible. That is, the finished smooth side is facing up under the deck. I did this because the stitching on the cloth is pretty substantial and I was concerned that it might interfere with the rainwater running off as I wanted. So I installed the smooth side up to reduce any obstructions to the flow of the water. 

I will be taking it down at some point to clean it, and I may reinstall it with the unfinished, or stitching side, up to see if the water still runs off without any interference. With the dramatic slope I now have, I think it should work fine. (But, actually, I don't think most people will notice the stitching. I showed my wife and she said that she would not have even noticed or thought about it had I not pointed it out to her.) In addition to recommending heavier duty water resistant sail cloth, I also highly recommend purchasing the appropriate stainless steel hardware kit as well. In my mind it is an absolute must.

Nicely made and waterproof. I recently purchased a high end, engineered shade structure. It was not waterproof. I put the KGorge tarp over it and it is perfect.
