FAQs

What is the UPF rating of this shade sail?

The Kookaburra Woven Shade Sail is tested to UPF34+, which blocks over 96.5% of harmful UV rays.

Is this shade sail completely waterproof?

The sail is water-resistant, making it suitable for light rain, but it is not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged or heavy downpours.

What materials are needed for installation?

You will need strong anchor points and appropriate hardware such as eye bolts, turnbuckles, and rope or cable, which are typically sold separately.

How should I clean the shade sail?

Clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse well and allow to air dry completely.

Can this sail be used year-round?

It is ideal for short-term outdoor use and seasonal enjoyment. For harsh weather conditions or extended periods of non-use, it is recommended to take the sail down and store it dry.

Does the orange color offer any special benefits?

The orange color is primarily for aesthetic appeal, adding a vibrant and festive look to your outdoor space. It does not affect the UV protection capabilities.

Will the sail get very hot underneath?

The novel weave structure is designed to prevent overheating underneath, offering shelter and comfort without trapping excessive heat.

Troubleshooting

Sail is sagging

Increase tension on the anchor points. Ensure all attachment hardware is secure and evenly distributed.

Water pooling on the sail

Adjust the angle of the sail to create a steeper slope, facilitating water runoff. Check that anchor points are not pulling the sail flat.

Color fading

While designed for outdoor use, prolonged intense sun can cause fading. Consider taking the sail down during extended periods of non-use or extreme weather if color longevity is a high priority.

Fabric appears dirty

Clean gently with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse and air dry thoroughly.
