Kookaburra Sun Shade Sail Canopy - Rectangle - 6M X 5M - Dark Teal

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF 50+ rating means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.

The shade sail is designed to be waterproof, effectively blocking rain. However, prolonged exposure to heavy downpours or water pooling due to improper installation may lead to some water penetration over time.

It is made from high-density polyester (160gsm) that is UV-stabilized.

While the sail is durable and rot-proof, it is recommended to take it down during extreme weather conditions (heavy snow, high winds) and store it to maximize its lifespan.

The product includes the shade sail itself. Additional hardware such as ropes, turnbuckles, eye bolts, and carabiners for installation are not included and must be purchased separately.

Achieving proper tension is crucial. Use ropes or turnbuckles connected to secure anchor points. Ensure the sail is pulled taut in all directions to prevent sagging and water pooling. Aim for a slight slope for water runoff.

This specific model is rectangular and measures 6 meters by 5 meters.

Increase the tension on the anchor points. Ensure all D rings are securely fastened and that ropes or turnbuckles are tightened appropriately. Check that anchor points are stable.

Ensure the sail is installed with a slope or pitch to allow water to run off. Adjust anchor points to create a downward angle in at least one direction.

Clean the sail with mild soap and water using a soft brush. For stubborn stains or mildew, machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius. Ensure the sail is completely dry before re-installing or storing.

Inspect the D rings and attachment points. The provided D rings are Grade 304 stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion. If issues arise, ensure they are properly secured and consider replacing any damaged hardware.
