FAQs

What is the UPF rating of this shade sail?

The shade sail has a UPF50+ rating, blocking over 98% of harmful UV rays.

Can this shade sail withstand heavy rain?

The tight weave offers excellent protection from light to moderate rain, allowing for efficient runoff. It is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to significant rainfall.

What material is the shade sail made from?

It is constructed from high-density 160gsm polyester.

What is included in the fixing kit?

The kit includes turnbuckles and pad eye sets for each corner. Additional rope may be recommended for installation.

How do I clean the shade sail?

You can clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap, or it is machine washable. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

Is this shade sail waterproof?

While it is highly water-resistant and sheds rain effectively due to its weave, it is not a fully waterproof membrane. It's designed for sun and light rain protection.

What are the dimensions of this shade sail?

The dimensions are 5 meters by 4 meters (rectangular).

Troubleshooting

Shade sail is sagging significantly

Increase tension using the turnbuckles. Ensure all corners are pulled taut and consider if additional rope is needed for better anchoring.

Water is pooling on the surface

Adjust the mounting points to create a sufficient slope for rainwater runoff. Ensure there are no loose sections where water can collect.

Hardware appears to be rusting

Ensure the D rings are grade 304 stainless steel as specified. Clean any visible rust with a suitable metal cleaner and ensure the sail is dried properly after washing.

Shade sail is making noise in the wind

Check the tension. A properly tensioned sail will flap less. Ensure the material is not rubbing against any hard surfaces.

  • Durable construction ensures a long lifespan.
  • Simple to install with the included hardware.

Cons

  • Not designed for extremely heavy or prolonged rainfall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify secure mounting points (walls, sturdy posts, trees) for each corner of the sail.
  2. Attach the included pad eye sets to these mounting points.
  3. Connect the grade 304 stainless steel D rings on the shade sail corners to the pad eyes using the turnbuckles.
  4. Adjust the turnbuckles to achieve desired tension. For optimal stability and water runoff, ensure the sail has a slight slope. Additional rope may be needed to reach your chosen anchor points.

Compatibility:

This shade sail is compatible with most outdoor structures and anchor points, including brick walls, wooden fences, metal posts, and mature trees. Ensure all anchor points are structurally sound and can withstand tension.

Care:

To clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For deeper cleaning, the fabric is machine washable. Ensure the sail is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. Regularly check tension and mounting points for optimal performance and safety.
