The Kookaburra Waterproof Sun Shade Sail Canopy is independently tested to UPF50+, blocking over 98% of harmful UV rays.
The shade sail is made from waterproof polyester and provides excellent shelter from rain. However, for very heavy or prolonged downpours, water may eventually penetrate or pool if not properly tensioned and angled for runoff.
You can machine wash the shade sail at 40 degrees Celsius. For routine cleaning, brushing off debris with a soft brush is recommended.
It is made from high-density 160gsm UV-stabilised polyester.
The shade sail includes straps along each side for tensioning and Grade 304 stainless steel D rings at each corner. Additional mounting hardware like ropes, carabiners, or tensioning kits may be required and are typically sold separately.
While durable, the shade sail should be properly tensioned. For very windy areas, ensure secure anchor points and consider the sail's size and shape in relation to local wind patterns. It is not designed for gale-force winds.
The tighter weave is designed for the British climate, offering excellent shelter from both sun and rain while preventing the area underneath from overheating due to increased airflow.
Increase the tension on the affected side(s) of the sail. Ensure the sail is installed with a downward slope in at least one direction to facilitate water runoff.
Check the integrity of the straps and any attached hardware. Ensure you are using a suitable tensioning mechanism to secure the straps firmly to the anchor points.
Re-tension the sail to ensure it is taut. Consider reinforcing anchor points or using a sail size appropriate for your location's typical wind conditions.
Clean the sail according to the care instructions. Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius and ensure it is thoroughly dry before re-installation or storage.
Setup: To install, identify sturdy anchor points such as walls, posts, or dedicated shade sail poles. Attach the stainless steel D rings at each corner of the sail to these points using ropes, carabiners, or tensioning kits (sold separately). Ensure the sail is angled slightly to allow for water runoff. Use the integrated straps along the sides to achieve optimal tension for stability and water shedding.
Compatibility: The shade sail is designed to be attached to various secure structures. Ensure your chosen anchor points are strong enough to withstand wind and tension. The sail is compatible with a range of mounting hardware, including eye bolts, post mounts, and wire rope tensioners.
Care: Keep the sail clean by brushing off loose debris regularly. For deeper cleaning, machine wash the shade sail at 40 degrees Celsius. Ensure the sail is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the fabric. Periodically check tensioning points and hardware for wear and tear.
