Troubleshooting
Water pooling on the sail
Ensure the sail is installed with adequate tension and a sufficient slope (at least 20-30 degrees) to allow water to run off freely.
Color fading over time
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause fading. Proper tensioning and occasional cleaning can help maintain its appearance.
