FAQs

What material is the sunshade sail made of?

Does it come with poles for installation?

No, the sunshade sail comes with stainless steel fasteners and four 1.5 meter PE ropes. Poles or other specific mounting hardware are not included.

How do I ensure water runs off the sail?

Install the sail so that two corners are higher than the other two, creating a slope. This allows rainwater to channel off effectively.

How should I clean the sunshade sail?

Clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Ensure it is fully dry before storing.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the sail.

Adjust the rope tension and ensure there is a sufficient slope (at least two corners higher than the others) to allow water to drain off.

Sail is sagging or not taut.

Tighten the PE ropes and check the anchor points for stability. Ensure the sail is pulled evenly in all directions.

Mold appears on the fabric.

Clean the sail with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before re-installing or storing to prevent recurrence.

Anchor points are not secure.

Re-evaluate your chosen anchor points. Use stronger mounting hardware or additional support structures if necessary.
