Troubleshooting
Water pooling on the sail
Adjust the installation to create a steeper slope. Ensure at least two corners are significantly higher than the lowest point to facilitate water runoff.
Sail not staying taut
Check the tension of the ropes and the security of the anchor points. Re-tighten ropes as needed. Ensure anchor points are robust.
Fabric appears discoloured or has mould spots
Clean the fabric with a mild detergent and water. Ensure the sail is dried thoroughly after cleaning or rain before re-installation or storage. While mould-proof, prolonged dampness can still affect appearance.
Ropes fraying or showing wear
Inspect ropes regularly. Replace any worn or frayed ropes with durable, weather-resistant cordage of similar or greater strength.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
