FAQs
What material is the sunshade sail made of?
The sunshade sail is made from 100% HDPE (high-density polyethylene), which is specially treated to be mould resistant and UV resistant.
Does this product come with mounting hardware?
No, this product requires compatible hooks or mounting hardware, which are not included. You will need to purchase these separately.
How much UV protection does it offer?
The sunshade sail offers approximately 90% UV protection.
Is the sunshade sail waterproof?
No, the sunshade sail is water permeable, meaning light rain can pass through. This design helps prevent water from pooling and reduces strain on the structure.
What are the dimensions of the sunshade sail?
The sunshade sail measures 6 x 6 meters, forming a square shape.
How do I clean the sunshade sail?
Clean it periodically with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely.
What is included with the sunshade sail?
The package includes the sunshade sail and four 1.5-meter PE ropes. Stainless steel triangular fasteners are attached to the corners of the sail.
Troubleshooting
Sunshade sail is sagging excessively.
Ensure all anchor points are secure and ropes are tightened to the maximum achievable tension. Consider using longer ropes or different anchor points to increase tension. Check if the sail needs to be angled more steeply for water runoff.
Water is pooling on the sail.
While the sail is water permeable, significant pooling indicates insufficient tension or an improper angle. Re-tension the sail and ensure it has a sufficient downward slope towards one or more corners.
Material appears faded or degraded.
Although UV-resistant, prolonged extreme sun exposure can eventually impact material. Ensure the sail is clean and dry before storage if not in continuous use. Inspect the material for tears or damage.
Fasteners are difficult to attach.
Ensure the ropes are properly threaded through the triangular fasteners. If using carabiners or other connectors, ensure they are compatible and functioning correctly. Check for any debris obstructing the connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the sunshade sail, first identify sturdy anchor points such as existing structures, poles, or trees. Attach the stainless steel triangular fasteners at each corner of the sail to ropes or cables connected to these anchor points. Use the included 1.5m PE ropes to help achieve the desired tension. Ensure the sail is angled to allow water runoff. A minimum tension is required to prevent sagging.
Compatibility: This sunshade sail requires compatible mounting hardware, specifically hooks or eye bolts, which are not included. When purchasing these, consider the combined length of the hook and the sail's dimensions to achieve the correct tension and coverage. The anchor points must be strong enough to withstand the tension of the sail, especially in windy conditions.
Care: Clean the sunshade sail periodically with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing or leaving it exposed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the HDPE material. During extreme weather events like heavy storms or high winds, it is advisable to temporarily take down the sunshade sail to prevent damage to the sail or anchor points.
