The Kookaburra Shade Sail in Beige is designed for homeowners seeking robust UV protection and shelter from the elements. Its key benefit is offering superior UPF50+ protection, blocking over 98% of harmful UV rays while its tight weave provides defense against rain. A potential consideration is ensuring proper tensioning for optimal water runoff.

UPF50+ means the fabric has been tested and rated to block over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
The ultra-tight weave offers excellent shelter from light to moderate rain, but it is not a fully waterproof solution for heavy downpours. Proper tensioning is key for water to run off effectively.
You can hose it down for light cleaning. For a more thorough clean, it is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. Always allow it to air dry completely before re-installation.
It is made from high-density, UV-stabilized polyester (160gsm) with rot-proof properties.
The D-rings at each corner are made from Grade 304 stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
The shade sail comes with straps and D-rings. You will likely need to purchase additional hardware such as ropes, turnbuckles, or mounting brackets depending on your chosen anchor points.
No, the design is intended to provide shelter without causing overheating, making it suitable for warmer climates and direct sun exposure.
Increase tension on all four corners using the strapped tensioning system or adjust attachment hardware. Ensure anchor points are stable.
Ensure there is adequate slope in one direction for water to run off. Re-tension the sail to create a steeper pitch.
While UV-stabilized, prolonged extreme exposure can still affect fabric over many years. Ensure the sail is correctly tensioned to avoid unnecessary stress points that can lead to premature wear.
Clean the sail thoroughly, including a machine wash if possible. Ensure the sail is completely dry before re-installing and consider storing it during extended periods of non-use in damp conditions.
Setup: To set up your Kookaburra Shade Sail, first identify secure anchor points. These could be existing structures like sturdy posts, walls, or purpose-built poles. Use the stainless steel D-rings at each corner to attach ropes or cables to these anchor points. Ensure the sail is tensioned evenly along all sides using the integrated straps to create a taut surface. This tension is crucial for both stability and effective water runoff.
Compatibility: This shade sail is compatible with a wide range of outdoor structures. Ensure your anchor points are strong enough to withstand the tension and potential wind loads. Standard marine-grade ropes, turnbuckles, and eye bolts are recommended for secure and adjustable attachments.
Care: The shade sail is made from UV-stabilized, rot-proof polyester and is machine washable. For regular cleaning, hose it down to remove loose dirt. For a deeper clean, detach the sail and machine wash it at 40 degrees Celsius. Allow the sail to air dry completely before re-installing to prevent mildew.
