Sun Shades: Nice or hideous?

[morningpaper]

I can't decide

Crocus have some on special offer

You know the sort of thing - big sail over yer beer garden

What do we think?

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

I am getting one next week for my patio

[excited]

It has 4 points, anchored to house over to garage.

[happy sigh]

I can't have a gazebo, hardly any level ground in my garden so please don't all say they are bleurgh !!

[missblythe]

I think they can look v. cool. Do you leave them up all the time? It would be beyond annoying to have to put it up and down all the time.

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

Erect in April, take down in October and store for winter - that's the plan anyhoo.

[missblythe]

Ah, perfect!

[morningpaper]

what colour boys? Have you seen the bargains in Crocus?

[morningpaper]

I'm concerned about wind resistance

How does it not flap, or take the house off down the street?

I mean it is a SAIL

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

I want a cream one, was going to get one just from random internet supplier.

I will have a look at crocus and report back forthwith

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

You secure to building via a plate and heavy duty bolts

[crosses fingers and hopes for balmy weather]

[morningpaper]

here are Crosus's - some are only 32.99

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

Cor, they are bargainous

TVM

[morningpaper]

they really ARE bargainous aren't they?

I am tempted myself

[MadBadandDangeroustoKnow]

Sails are cool, in my humble opinion. The sun shades which fold down from above the window a la Torquay hotel - which at first was what I thought you meant - not so.

[NomDePlume]

I like the sail-y ones

I thought you meant the awning ones advertised by that old police bloke with the dog

[morningpaper]

there are some cheap ones here too - nice orange one.

[morningpaper]

lol yes I meant to write SAIL SHADES in the subject

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

I am in Sail Heaven
