FAQs

Is this sunshade sail waterproof?

No, the sail is water-permeable, meaning it allows water to pass through to prevent wind load and mould buildup.

What is the size of the sail?

This model is 4 x 5 metres.

Can I leave this up all year round?

While it is durable, it is recommended to take it down during severe winter conditions or high-wind events to prevent damage.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

It includes stainless steel fasteners at the corners and ropes for installation.

How much UV protection does it provide?

It provides approximately 90% UV protection.

Can I wash the sail in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash. Use a hose and mild soap while it is hanging for the best results.

Troubleshooting

The sail is sagging in the middle.

Increase the tension on all four corners using the included ropes. Ensure the anchor points are sufficiently apart to pull the fabric tight.

The material looks dusty.

Gently hose down the fabric with fresh water and allow it to air dry completely while installed.

The fasteners are difficult to attach.

Use a carabiner or additional tensioning turnbuckle (not included) to make attaching the D-rings to your anchor points easier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-density polyethylene offers long-lasting durability.
  • Effective 90% UV ray blockage.
  • Breathable design prevents air from getting trapped.
  • Resistant to mould and mildew.
  • Easy to install with provided hardware.

Cons

  • Not waterproof; water will pass through the fabric.
  • Requires proper tensioning to avoid sagging.
  • Limited to specific rectangular dimensions.
  • Orange colour may be too vibrant for some aesthetic setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your mounting points are secure enough to withstand the tension required to keep the sail flat. Use the included ropes to connect the stainless steel D-rings to your wall hooks or posts. For optimal performance, tighten the sail evenly from all four corners.

Care Instructions:

  • Regularly inspect the fasteners for signs of stress or rust.
  • Clean the sail using a soft brush and mild soapy water if dust or debris accumulates.
  • Store the sail during the winter months or during high-wind storm warnings to prolong its lifespan.
