FAQs
What is the primary material of this sunshade?
The sunshade is made from 100% HDPE (high-density polyethylene), which is treated to be mould and UV resistant.
How much UV protection does it offer?
It offers approximately 90% UV protection.
Can this sunshade be used in heavy rain?
No, the sunshade is water permeable and designed primarily for sun protection. It can handle light showers but is not a substitute for a waterproof canopy in heavy rain.
What are the dimensions of the sunshade?
The dimensions are 2 meters in width and 3 meters in length (2 x 3 m).
What is included for installation?
It includes stainless steel fasteners at each corner and ropes for attachment to anchor points.
How should I clean the sunshade?
Clean with a mild detergent and water using a soft cloth or brush, rinse, and allow to air dry completely.
Is this product suitable for balconies?
Yes, it can be suitable for balconies provided there are secure anchor points to attach it safely.
Troubleshooting
Sunshade is sagging or not staying taut.
Ensure anchor points are secure and ropes are fully tightened. Check for any obstructions or damage to the ropes or fasteners.
Water pooling on the surface.
Adjust the angle of the sunshade to create a slope, allowing water to run off. Ensure the material is not stretched too tightly in one area.
Mildew or stains appearing.
Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.
Fading or discoloration.
While UV resistant, prolonged intense sun exposure can eventually cause fading. This is normal wear. Ensure the treated side faces the primary sun direction.
