Has anyone tried to get one? Our patio is perfectly nestled in a right angle behind our house, so is ideal for a 5m x 2m right angle sun shade/temp rain shade for the BBQs....but it is such hard work trying to find someone who can provide one in the UK that is not a 3.6m (or standard sizes) triangle or big rectangle.

Has anyone had one custom made? Able to offer a rough idea of cost & quality?

Many thanks,

Andehh

Bleeding heck, a big standard 5m x whatever is only around £50 on eBay, I figured maybe £150 tops! It's only canvas ran through a sewing machine.

Look alike I'll have to create my own... Using a cut down rectangular and stitched up the edge!

I need to rebuild my carport as I ripped the old one down this week. Its a short term thing as in the next 3 years I'll be putting an extension in its place. I never considered a sail but I wouldn't have thought that it would stand up to the rigours of a British winter?
I was figuring 3 heavy bolts into the house, with a decent gap round the edges to help stop the wind being trapped? Along with heavy duty canvas?
