Troubleshooting

Sail is sagging excessively

Check and tighten all tensioning ropes or cables. Ensure anchor points are secure and consider adding additional support if necessary.

Water pooling on the surface

Adjust the angle of the sail to create a steeper slope, allowing water to run off more effectively. Ensure there are no low points where water can collect.

Fabric appears dirty or has mildew spots

Clean the sail using a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before re-installation or storage.

Reduced UV protection effect

Inspect the fabric for tears or excessive wear. If the fabric is significantly damaged, it may need to be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your Kookaburra Sun Shade Sail, you will need appropriate mounting hardware such as eye bolts, turnbuckles, and rope or cable, which are typically sold separately. Choose sturdy anchor points like existing posts, walls, or trees. Ensure the sail is tensioned correctly to prevent sagging and water pooling. For optimal coverage, angle the sail to direct any rainwater away from your intended use area.

Compatibility: This shade sail is compatible with most standard outdoor mounting hardware. It is designed to be anchored to solid structures capable of bearing tension.

Care: To clean your shade sail, use a mild soap and cool water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow the sail to air dry completely before storing. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or power washers, as these can damage the fabric. For long-term storage, ensure the sail is clean and dry to prevent mold or mildew.
