  This review is about length: 5 m, width: 3.5 m

  Excellent value for money. Nice construction, strong stitching, nice pattern (not sewn in parallel) that facilitates stretching and gives a nice shape, strong rings in the 4 corners, reinforcement on the edges of all four sides, nice dark green color, and overall nice finish.
  The fabric in the size of 3.5x5m consists of 2 pieces sewn in the middle. I would prefer a single piece for durability reasons, but we will see how it holds up over time. The stitching seems strong. The Oxford fabric is of medium thickness (165gsm), neither too thin nor too heavy.
  The accompanying ropes are average, but I didn't count on them anyway. They are fine for a quick tie-down for a short period of time as they don't inspire confidence in their resistance to the sun. With good non-elastic ropes, the result is amazing.
  With proper stretching of the fabric at the correct diagonal (X-cross) support points, it doesn't sag and withstands strong gusts of wind, so it seems like it won't collect water/snow.
  The "correct diagonal support points" means:
  1) as much elevation difference as possible (ideally 2m) between the two diagonals,
  2) a straight line between the 4 points of each diagonal (support point-ring-ring-support point),
  3) strong and stable support points (e.g. with long metal stakes).
  Stretching it in a "flat shape" rather than with elevation difference per diagonal is more suitable for shading with relative airflow.
