Troubleshooting
Shade sail is sagging excessively.
Check and increase the tension on all corner ropes or cables. Ensure anchor points are secure and not pulling away.
Water is pooling on the surface.
Adjust the installation angle to create a slope. Ensure one corner is lower than the others to allow for water runoff.
Fabric appears stained or has mildew spots.
Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution. Allow to dry completely. For persistent spots, consult specific fabric care instructions.
Mounting hardware is loose.
Tighten all bolts and screws on the mounting hardware and anchor points. Inspect anchor points for stability.
