UPF34+ means the fabric is independently tested to block out at least 96.5% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.
The shade sail is water-resistant due to its tight weave and 140G fabric, offering shelter from light rain. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand heavy downpours.
This product is ideal for short-term outdoor use. For longevity and best performance, it's recommended to take it down during harsh weather conditions, such as strong winds or prolonged heavy rain, and during the off-season.
Clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth or brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing.
The sail is designed with small holes in the weave to allow hot air to escape, helping to prevent excessive heat buildup, particularly useful in cooler climates.
GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. It measures the weight of the fabric, indicating its thickness. A higher GSM generally means a thicker, more durable fabric.
This particular model is a Blue Kookaburra Sun Shade Sail Canopy.
Adjust the tension and ensure there is a consistent slope in one direction to allow water to run off.
While UV resistant, prolonged exposure to intense sun can cause fading. Consider temporary removal during peak seasons or storing when not in use.
Ensure the sail is completely dry before storing. Clean affected areas with a mild soap and water solution and allow to dry thoroughly.
Setup: Ensure the shade sail is attached securely to sturdy anchor points such as posts, existing structures, or specialized eye bolts. Use appropriate tensioning hardware (e.g., turnbuckles, ropes) to achieve a taut installation, which helps in shedding water effectively. Aim for a slight slope to prevent water pooling.
Compatibility: This shade sail is designed for temporary or seasonal outdoor use. It is compatible with most standard shade sail mounting hardware. Avoid using in extremely windy conditions or during heavy rainfall.
Care: Clean the sail with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing. Do not use harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric. Store in a dry place to prevent mold or mildew.
