Extended Product Information
FAQs
What material is the sunshade sail made of?
The sunshade sail is made from 100% HDPE (high-density polyethylene), which is breathable, mould-proof, and UV-proof.
Does the product come with mounting hardware?
No, compatible hooks or other mounting hardware are not included. You will need to purchase these separately.
How much UV protection does it offer?
The sunshade sail offers approximately 90% UV protection.
Is the sunshade waterproof?
No, the sunshade is wind and water permeable, meaning it allows air and light rain to pass through rather than being completely waterproof.
What are the dimensions of the sunshade sail?
The sunshade sail is square with dimensions of 2 x 2 meters.
What is included with the sunshade sail?
The package includes the sunshade sail and 4 x 1.5 meter PE ropes. Stainless steel triangular fasteners are integrated at each corner.
How should I clean the sunshade sail?
Clean with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Mild soap and water can be used for tougher dirt, followed by rinsing.
Troubleshooting
Sunshade is sagging or not taut.
Check the tension of the ropes. Ensure all four corners are securely fastened and adjust rope lengths as needed. Verify that anchor points are stable.
Material seems to be stretching excessively.
Ensure the sail is not over-tensioned beyond its intended use. Check for extreme wind conditions. HDPE is durable but has limits.
Mildew or discolouration appearing.
Clean the sail with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure proper drainage and air circulation around the sail to prevent moisture buildup. The material is treated to be mould-proof, but prolonged dampness can still cause surface marks.
Difficulty attaching to anchor points.
Ensure you are using appropriate, compatible hooks (not included) and that they are securely installed. Adjust the position of the sail or ropes if the distance between anchor points is not ideal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Identify four secure anchor points at the desired height and location (e.g., sturdy posts, existing structures, or walls).
- Attach compatible hooks (sold separately) to these anchor points. Ensure the hooks are rated for outdoor use and can support the tension of the sail.
- Connect the stainless steel triangular fasteners at each corner of the sunshade sail to the hooks using the included 1.5m PE ropes.
- Adjust the rope lengths to achieve optimal tension across the sail. Ensure the sail is taut to prevent sagging and maximize wind resistance.
Compatibility:
- This product requires compatible mounting hooks or a similar secure fastening system which are *not included*.
- Consider the combined length of the hooks and ropes when determining the required span between anchor points. The sail itself is 2 x 2 meters.
Care:
- Clean the sunshade sail with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the HDPE material.
- For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
- In severe weather conditions (e.g., heavy storms, high winds), it is recommended to temporarily take down the sunshade sail to prevent damage.
- Store in a dry place when not in use for extended periods.
