FAQs
What is HDPE material?
HDPE stands for High-Density Polyethylene, a durable and versatile plastic known for its strength and resistance to moisture and chemicals. It's commonly used in outdoor products.
Does the sunshade come with mounting hardware?
No, the sunshade sail itself comes with stainless steel fasteners at the corners and PE ropes. However, you will need to purchase compatible mounting hooks or other hardware separately for installation.
How much UV protection does it offer?
The sunshade sail offers approximately 90% UV protection, significantly reducing exposure to harmful sun rays.
Can this sunshade be used in windy conditions?
The sail is designed to be wind and water permeable, which helps reduce wind resistance. However, it's crucial to ensure it is securely installed with proper tension. Remove the sail during extremely high winds or storms to prevent damage.
Is the sunshade waterproof?
The sunshade is water permeable, meaning it allows some water to pass through, preventing heavy pooling. It is not fully waterproof and will not keep the area underneath completely dry during rain.
What are the dimensions of the sunshade?
The sunshade sail has dimensions of 2.5 meters in width and 4 meters in length.
How do I clean the sunshade sail?
Clean it using a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing.
Troubleshooting
Sunshade is sagging or not taut.
Check the tension of the ropes and adjust as needed. Ensure anchor points are secure and not leaning.
Water is pooling on the sunshade.
Ensure the sail has a slight slope or angle to allow water to run off. The material is water permeable, but heavy accumulation can occur if the angle is insufficient.
Fasteners appear loose or damaged.
Tighten the connections at the corners. If any stainless steel fasteners are damaged, contact the manufacturer for replacement options.
Mould or mildew growth on the fabric.
Clean the affected area with a mild detergent and water. Ensure the sail is completely dry before storing it again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
