FAQs

Is this sunshade sail waterproof?

No, the material is water-permeable. It is designed to be breathable to keep the area underneath cool, meaning it will allow water to pass through slowly.

Can I leave the sail up all year?

While the material is UV and mould resistant, it is best to take it down during harsh winter storms or extreme weather to ensure longevity.

Does this come with mounting poles?

No, this product includes the sail, stainless steel corner fasteners, and ropes. It assumes you have existing structures like posts or wall anchors to attach it to.

How do I measure the area for installation?

Ensure you have at least 3.1 x 4.1 meters of clear space to allow for the tensioning of the ropes at the corners.

Will the color fade in the sun?

The HDPE material is treated to be UV resistant to minimize discolouration, though some minor fading is normal after several years of direct exposure.

Troubleshooting

The fabric is sagging in the middle.

Re-adjust the tension at each corner. Ensure that all four corners are pulled tightly and secured to sturdy anchor points.

Water is pooling on the sail.

Adjust the height of one or more corners to create a pitch, which allows rainwater to run off rather than settle on the surface.

Ropes are fraying.

Inspect ropes for wear periodically. Replace with standard UV-resistant outdoor nylon rope if the original attachments show signs of degradation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent UV protection rating of approximately 90%
  • Breathable material prevents air stagnation
  • Resistant to mould and discolouration
  • Durable stainless steel mounting hardware
  • Lightweight and easy to stow during off-seasons

Cons

  • Water-permeable design means it does not act as a complete rain shield
  • Requires proper tensioning to avoid sagging
  • Not intended for heavy-duty permanent structural use
  • Size is fixed at 3 x 4 meters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation:

To achieve optimal performance, ensure you have stable anchor points at each of the four corners. Use the provided stainless steel fasteners and ropes to create a taut surface. Avoid installing the sail in a flat, horizontal position; creating a slight slope or pitch will assist in natural drainage.

Compatibility:

This sail is compatible with existing pergolas, exterior wall hooks, or sturdy wooden posts. Ensure your chosen mounting points can handle the tension required to keep the fabric from sagging.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: Simply hose down the sail with water or scrub gently with mild soap and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris.
  • Seasonal Storage: While the material is UV-proof, it is recommended to take the sail down during severe winter weather or prolonged periods of heavy wind to extend its service life.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or high-pressure power washers, as these may damage the weave of the HDPE fabric.
