FAQs
Can I leave this sunshade up all year round?
While the material is UV and mould resistant, it is best to take it down during heavy winter storms or high winds to prevent mechanical damage.
Is the fabric waterproof?
The fabric is water-permeable, meaning it allows water to drain through rather than pooling on top, but it is not a waterproof shelter.
What size hooks do I need?
The specific size depends on your installation distance; ensure you measure the gap between the sail corner and your anchor point, subtracting the length of the ropes provided.
Can this be installed on a balcony?
Yes, provided there are four secure structural points to attach the ropes to, it works excellently on balconies.
How do I secure the corners?
Use the stainless steel fasteners integrated into the corners of the sail, connecting them to your anchors using the included PE ropes or additional hardware like turnbuckles.
Troubleshooting
The sail is sagging in the middle
Increase tension on the ropes at each corner or add turnbuckles to your mounting points to pull the fabric tighter.
Material appears dirty or dusty
Gently hose down the fabric with plain water and allow it to air dry completely.
Pros and Cons

- Breathable material prevents overheating underneath

Cons
- Compatible mounting hooks are not included

- Single-colour option may not suit all aesthetic preferences
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your sunshade, identify four sturdy anchor points such as wall mounts, wooden posts, or trees. Use the provided 1.5 m PE ropes to secure each corner's stainless steel fastener to your chosen anchor. When purchasing mounting hooks, remember to account for the total length of the hook and the rope to ensure the sail remains taut. For care, keep the fabric clean by rinsing with a garden hose occasionally. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers that could damage the HDPE fibers. In heavy storm conditions or during the winter, it is recommended to take the sail down to prevent damage from extreme winds.
