Product Information

Full details

The Kookaburra 3.6M Square Sun Shade Sail Canopy in White is designed for individuals seeking effective UV protection for outdoor spaces. Its key benefit is blocking over 96.5% of harmful UV rays thanks to an ultra-tight weave tested to UPF34+. A potential caveat is its suitability for short-term outdoor use and a design that may be less optimal in very hot climates due to its tighter weave for water resistance. This shade sail offers beautiful decoration while providing comfort on sunny days, featuring a lightweight and water-resistant 140G fabric.

FAQs

What is the UPF rating of this shade sail?

The Kookaburra shade sail has a UPF rating of 34+, meaning it blocks over 96.5% of harmful UV rays.

Is this shade sail completely waterproof?

The shade sail is water-resistant due to its tight weave, offering protection from light rain. It is not designed to be fully waterproof under heavy or prolonged rainfall.

What materials are needed for installation?

Installation hardware such as eye bolts, turnbuckles, and ropes or cables are not included and need to be purchased separately.

How do I clean the shade sail?

Clean with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth. Rinse well and let it air dry completely.

Is this shade sail suitable for very hot climates?

While it offers excellent UV protection, its tighter weave is designed for cooler climates and may retain more heat in extremely hot conditions compared to sails with more open weaves.

What are the dimensions of the sail?

The sail is a 3.6M square (approximately 11.8 feet by 11.8 feet).

Can I leave this shade sail up all year round?

This product is ideal for short-term outdoor use. For longevity, it is recommended to take it down during harsh weather conditions, such as strong winds or heavy snow, and store it dry.

Troubleshooting

Shade sail is sagging

Tighten the ropes or cables connecting the sail to the anchor points. Ensure anchor points are secure and evenly spaced.

Water pooling on the surface

Adjust the tension and angle of the sail to create a slope, allowing water to run off. Ensure no low points are forming.

Fabric appears stained

Gently clean with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid bleach or harsh detergents.

Wind causes excessive flapping

Reduce the tension slightly or ensure all anchor points are taut and secure. Consider removing the sail during very high winds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This shade sail requires a secure anchoring system. You will need to purchase appropriate hardware such as eye bolts, turnbuckles, and ropes or cables separately. Ensure that the anchor points (e.g., strong posts, existing structures) are robust enough to withstand the tension. Stretch the sail taut to prevent sagging and water pooling.

Compatibility: The 3.6M square size is versatile for various outdoor spaces. Ensure your chosen anchor points are spaced appropriately to accommodate the dimensions.

Care: Clean the shade sail with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the fabric. Store in a dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
