FAQs

What is included with the VidaXL sunshade sail?

The package includes the HDPE sunshade sail (6 x 7 m, Beige) and four 1.5 m PE ropes. Stainless steel triangular fasteners are pre-attached to the corners of the sail. Compatible mounting hooks are not included.

How much UV protection does this sunshade offer?

This sunshade sail offers approximately 90% UV protection.

Is the sunshade sail waterproof?

No, the sunshade sail is water permeable, meaning light rain may pass through. This design allows for wind and water permeability, preventing water build-up.

Can I leave the sunshade sail up in windy conditions?

The sail is designed to be wind permeable, but it is recommended to take it down during severe weather conditions or strong winds to prevent damage to the sail or anchor points.

What material is the sunshade made from?

The sunshade is made from 100% HDPE (high-density polyethylene).

How do I clean the sunshade sail?

Clean the sail with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What are the dimensions of the sunshade sail?

The sunshade sail is rectangular with dimensions of 6 x 7 meters (Length x Width).

Troubleshooting

Sunshade sail is sagging and not taut.

Check rope tension and re-adjust. Ensure anchor points are secure and at appropriate heights to allow for proper tensioning. Consider if additional ropes or a different tensioning system is needed.

Water pools on the surface after rain.

The sail should have a slight slope to encourage water runoff. Re-position anchor points to create a steeper angle or ensure no obstructions are preventing drainage.

The material seems to be degrading or fading quickly.

Ensure the sail is properly installed and not in constant contact with abrasive surfaces. While UV-resistant, prolonged extreme exposure can still have effects over many years. Check for any manufacturing defects.

Fasteners are difficult to attach.

Ensure you are using compatible hooks or attachment hardware. The stainless steel fasteners are designed for ease of use with standard D-rings or carabiners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides significant UV protection (approx. 90%).
  • Durable and weather-resistant HDPE material.
  • Mould and UV proof construction.
  • Wind and water permeable design for comfort and drainage.
  • Easy to assemble with included ropes and corner fasteners.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of compatible mounting hooks.
  • Size might be too large for very small balconies.
  • Water permeability means it's not a waterproof canopy.
  • Assembly requires consideration of combined hook and product length for proper fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify secure anchor points (e.g., strong posts, existing structures, or mounting hooks).
  2. Attach the stainless steel fasteners at each corner of the sunshade sail to your anchor points using the included PE ropes.
  3. Ensure the sail is taut by adjusting the rope lengths. It is recommended to install the sail with a slight slope to allow water runoff.

Compatibility:

  • This product requires compatible mounting hooks, which are not included.
  • When purchasing hooks, consider the combined length of the hooks and the product dimensions (6 x 7 m) to achieve the desired tension and coverage.
  • Ensure anchor points are robust and capable of withstanding wind and weather.

Care:

  • Clean the sail periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the HDPE material.
  • In severe weather conditions (heavy storms, strong winds), it is advisable to temporarily take down the sunshade sail to prevent damage.
