FAQs
Does this sail come with the mounting hooks?
No, the product includes ropes and corner fasteners, but compatible hooks for your specific anchor points must be purchased separately.
Is the fabric waterproof?
The fabric is water-permeable, meaning it allows water to pass through. It is designed to provide shade rather than act as a solid waterproof roof.
Can I leave this up during the winter?
It is highly recommended to take down the sunshade during extreme weather conditions, heavy wind, or winter months to prevent potential damage.
How do I clean the sail?
Use mild soap and a gentle stream of water from a garden hose to rinse away dust or debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or a power washer.
What are the exact dimensions?
The sail measures 400 cm by 500 cm.
Is it easy to install by myself?
While one person can install it, it is significantly easier with two people to hold the corners in place while tensioning the ropes.
Troubleshooting
The sail appears to sag in the middle.
Increase the tension on all four corners using the included ropes. If it still sags, adjust the anchor points higher or closer together.
Water collects on top of the sail.
Adjust the installation height of one or more corners to create a steeper slope, allowing water to drain off the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: identify four anchor points such as exterior walls, sturdy posts, or trees. Use the included stainless steel corner fasteners and ropes to secure the sail, ensuring it is pulled taut to avoid sagging. Note that this package does not include mounting hooks; you must verify the combined length of your chosen hooks and the sail dimensions to ensure a perfect fit. For maintenance, the mould-resistant treatment keeps the sail clean, but it can be washed periodically with mild soap and a garden hose. Always ensure the sail is properly tensioned during the season to maintain its shape and structural integrity.
