Troubleshooting

Shade is not taut

Ensure all anchor points are secure and at appropriate heights. Adjust the tension on the corner straps. Consider adding a fourth anchor point if necessary.

Water pooling on the surface

Ensure the shade is installed with adequate slope to allow water runoff. Check that there are no sags or low points where water can collect.

Fabric discoloration or mold

Clean the shade regularly with mild soap and water. Ensure it dries completely after cleaning or exposure to rain before it gets covered or stored.

Fittings seem loose

Re-check and tighten all connections to the anchor points and the sail shade's corner plates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify at least three secure anchor points (e.g., sturdy posts, existing structures like pergolas or strong trees) at the desired height.
  2. Attach the reinforced corner straps to the sail shade.
  3. Use appropriate hardware (not included) to connect the stainless steel corner plates to your anchor points, ensuring the shade is taut.
  4. Adjust tension as needed for optimal coverage and stability.

Compatibility:

  • Allow the shade to dry completely before storing or leaving it exposed to harsh weather.
