Just what we needed for some privacy and shade. It also means I can read the display better without the sun on it. Protects the display panel also. It is a shame there seems no way of folding it unless I partially disassemble it but as it is used daily it doesn't really matter. Protects you from sun and getting sunburn so really good for children to. I wouldn't be without it. It also my reps off the wind in open setups so helps retain heat. If the rain drizzles a little bit if also covers you from that.
