Product Information

Full details

The Primrose Kookaburra Woven Shade Sail is designed for individuals seeking maximum UV protection and shelter from the elements. Its key benefit is the ultra-tight, UPF50+ certified weave that blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays and offers waterproofing. A potential caveat for some users in very hot climates is the tighter weave, which minimizes airflow to enhance rain protection, potentially leading to warmer conditions underneath compared to more breathable fabrics.

Troubleshooting

Sail is sagging

Increase tension on the ropes. Ensure all anchor points are secure and at the correct height. Consider using tensioning hardware like turnbuckles for a tighter fit.

Water pooling on the sail

Ensure the sail is installed with a slight slope or 'fall' in one direction to allow water to run off. Re-tension the sail to remove slack.

Mildew or discoloration

Clean the sail with a mild detergent and water, then rinse thoroughly. Ensure the sail is completely dry before re-installing or storing.

D-rings feel loose

Check the stitching around the D-rings. If the issue persists and the sail is within warranty, contact the manufacturer. Ensure you are not over-tensioning to the point of stressing the D-rings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your shade sail, identify strong anchor points such as sturdy posts, existing structures, or trees. Use the provided rope and the stainless steel D rings at each corner to attach the sail. Ensure the sail is tensioned evenly across all sides to prevent sagging and maximize its effectiveness. Additional hardware like turnbuckles or carabiners may be purchased separately for more adjustable tensioning.

Compatibility: This shade sail is compatible with various attachment methods and hardware. Ensure any structures used for anchoring are sound and capable of bearing the tension. It is suitable for use over patios, decks, play areas, gardens, and driveways.

Care: The shade sail is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. For routine cleaning, a simple wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap is usually sufficient. Allow the sail to dry completely before storing it to prevent mildew. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
