This Kookaburra Woven Shade Sail Canopy in Primrose Brown is designed for homeowners seeking superior UV protection and a decorative outdoor enhancement. Its ultra-tight weave offers UPF34+ protection, blocking over 96.5% of harmful UV rays. While excellent for UV blockage and light rain shelter, its tighter weave, ideal for cooler climates, means it's less suited for very hot conditions where airflow is paramount.

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protective Factor. A rating of UPF34+ means the fabric blocks over 96.5% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.
The shade sail is water-resistant, meaning it can provide shelter from light rain. It is not designed to be fully waterproof and prolonged heavy rain may seep through.
This shade sail is designed for short-term outdoor use. For longevity, it is recommended to take it down during harsh weather conditions like strong winds, heavy snow, or frost.
Clean using a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse well and allow it to dry completely before storing.
GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. It measures the weight and thickness of the fabric. A higher GSM generally indicates a thicker and potentially more durable fabric. This sail is 140G.
No, the shade sail typically does not include mounting hardware. You will need to purchase separate mounting kits, ropes, or cables suitable for your installation needs.
The shade sail will reduce direct sunlight, making the area beneath cooler. The tight weave is optimized for UV protection and light rain in cooler climates; it may not offer the same cooling effect as sails designed with more ventilation for very hot weather.
Check and adjust the tensioning ropes or turnbuckles. Ensure anchor points are secure and strong.
Ensure the sail is installed with a slight slope or a "dish" shape pointing away from the desired dry area to encourage water runoff.
This is normal with prolonged UV exposure. While the protective qualities remain, aesthetic fading may occur. Consider rotating the sail or using a different setup if fading is a significant concern.
Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and ensure the sail is completely dry before storing or re-installing.
Setup: Ensure the shade sail is tensioned correctly using appropriate hardware (sold separately) such as eye bolts, turnbuckles, and strong ropes or cables. Secure it to sturdy anchor points like walls, posts, or existing structures. Avoid overstretching, which can damage the fabric or mounting points.
Compatibility: This shade sail is designed for outdoor use and can be attached to a variety of solid structures. It is recommended for use in moderate climates.
Care: Clean the shade sail periodically with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before re-tensioning or storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the fabric's protective properties. Store in a dry place when not in use for extended periods to prolong its lifespan.
