UPF34+ means the fabric is independently tested to block at least 34 times the amount of UV radiation that would normally reach the skin. This indicates a very high level of UV protection.
Due to its lightweight 140G fabric, it is ideal for short-term or seasonal outdoor use. It is not designed for permanent installation or extreme weather.
It blocks more than 96.5% of harmful UV rays, providing UPF34+ protection.
The canopy is water-resistant and can provide shelter from light rain. However, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or strong winds is not recommended.
Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Rinse and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.
GSM (Grams per Square Metre) measures fabric weight. This canopy is 140G, indicating it's lightweight. Higher GSM generally means thicker fabric.
While designed with small holes for airflow in warmer climates, its primary function in cooler climates like the UK is UV and rain protection. The tighter weave is beneficial for shelter without overheating.
Adjust tension on the ropes or fixings to ensure the canopy is pulled taut.
Ensure the canopy is installed with a sufficient slope or angle to allow water runoff. Re-tension if necessary.
This may be due to prolonged exposure to harsh elements. For best results, temporary use and proper storage are recommended. Check for any manufacturing defects if damage occurred early.
Setup: Ensure you have appropriate mounting points (poles, sturdy structures) and secure ropes or fixings. Extend the canopy tautly to prevent sagging and water pooling. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended installation guide for optimal performance and safety.
Compatibility: This shade canopy is designed for general outdoor use and can be attached to various stable structures. It is not recommended for use in high winds or extreme weather conditions.
Care: Clean the fabric with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, which can damage the fabric's weave and protective properties. Store in a dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
