UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays, offering excellent protection against sun damage.
Yes, the ultra-tight weave and material make it waterproof, suitable for sheltering from rain showers, which is ideal for the UK's unpredictable weather.
While it provides excellent UV protection, the tight weave is designed to prevent overheating, making it suitable for the UK climate. In extremely hot and humid conditions, you might prefer a sail with a more breathable weave.
The product includes the Kookaburra Waterproof Patio Sun Shade Sail Canopy itself. Ropes, cables, and mounting hardware for the anchor points are typically sold separately.
You will need to attach ropes or cables to the D-rings at each corner and secure them to strong anchor points. Ensure the sail is installed with adequate tension and a slope for water runoff.
Yes, the sail shade is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. Ensure it is completely dry before re-installing or storing.
It is made of high-density polyester, 160gsm, which is UV stabilised and rot-proof for durability.
Increase tension on the corner ropes/cables and adjust the side straps. Ensure anchor points are secure and at appropriate heights to allow for a steep slope for water runoff.
Inspect the stitching around the D-rings. If the stitching appears sound, ensure the rope/cable is securely fastened. If stitching is damaged, repair or contact customer support.
Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry completely in the sun before re-installing or storing. Ensure the sail is completely dry before storage.
While the material is UV stabilised, prolonged extreme exposure can eventually cause fading. Consider rotating the sail's position if possible, or ensure it is properly stored during prolonged periods of non-use.

Compatibility:
