Troubleshooting
Water pooling on the sail surface
Increase tension on the affected side(s) or adjust anchor points to create a steeper slope for water runoff.
Sail flapping excessively in the wind
Re-tension the sail, ensuring all corners are pulled firmly. Check that anchor points are secure and not excessively far apart.
Mildew or dirt accumulation
Clean the sail with mild soap and water. For stubborn stains, consider machine washing at 40 degrees Celsius and ensure it dries completely before storage or re-installation.
D-rings appearing loose or corroded
Inspect the D-rings for damage. If corrosion is present, clean with a stainless steel cleaner. If they are loose, ensure they are properly secured to the sail's reinforced corners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install the Kookaburra Shade Sail Canopy, first identify secure anchor points (e.g., sturdy posts, existing structures). Use ropes or cables attached to the stainless steel D-rings at each corner. Ensure the sail is pulled taut to prevent water pooling and flapping in the wind. Adjust tension evenly across all sides for optimal stability and coverage.
Compatibility: This shade sail is compatible with a variety of mounting hardware, including eye bolts, carabiners, and tensioning kits. Ensure your anchor points are strong enough to withstand the tension applied to the sail.
Care: The shade sail is rot-proof and can be cleaned with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, it is suitable for machine washing at 40 degrees Celsius. Allow the sail to air dry completely before re-installation to prevent mildew.
