Product Information

Full details

This 6M Triangle Waterproof Shade Sail Canopy in Charcoal by Primrose is ideal for homeowners seeking reliable outdoor sun and rain protection. Its key benefit is offering UPF50+ UV protection and shielding from rain thanks to its ultra-tight weave. A potential consideration is that while waterproof, it is designed for the British climate and may require proper tensioning for optimal water runoff. It features a high-density polyester construction, rot-proof material, and includes a complete fixing kit.

What is the UPF rating of this shade sail?

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

Is this shade sail completely waterproof?

The shade sail is designed to be waterproof and provides shelter from rain due to its tight weave. However, it is best suited for light to moderate rain, and proper tensioning is key for water runoff.

What material is the shade sail made from?

What is included in the fixing kit?

The kit includes turnbuckles and pad eyes for each corner, along with stainless steel D rings on the sail itself.

How do I clean the shade sail?

You can clean it by hand with mild soap and water, or machine wash on a gentle cycle. Allow it to air dry completely.

Can I install this shade sail on trees?

Yes, it can be installed on sturdy trees, provided you use appropriate methods to attach the fixing points without harming the tree.

What are the dimensions of this triangular shade sail?

This is a 6-meter triangular shade sail.

Troubleshooting

Shade sail is sagging or collecting water

Increase the tension on the turnbuckles. Ensure there is a consistent slope across the sail to direct water runoff.

Fixings seem loose or unstable

Check that the pad eyes are securely attached to their anchor points. Use appropriate hardware for your specific wall, post, or tree type. Re-tighten turnbuckles as needed.

Material seems discolored or stained

Clean the shade sail with mild soap and water. For stubborn stains, consult the care instructions for machine washing.

Shade sail is not providing adequate shade

Ensure the sail is correctly positioned to block the desired area from the sun. Consider adjusting the angle or securing it to a different set of anchor points.

  • Water-resistant, suitable for light rain
  • Durable and rot-proof polyester fabric

  • Easy to clean and maintain

Cons

  • May require significant tensioning for optimal water drainage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify anchor points (walls, posts, trees) that are sturdy enough to support the tension.
  2. Attach the provided pad eyes to your anchor points using appropriate screws or fixings for the surface.
  3. Connect the stainless steel D rings on each corner of the shade sail to the pad eyes using the turnbuckles.
  4. Adjust the turnbuckles to achieve the desired tension. Ensure the sail is taut, with a slight slope for water drainage.

Compatibility:

This shade sail is compatible with most standard outdoor structures like fences, sturdy posts, or mature trees. Ensure any attachment points are secure and can withstand wind and tension.

Care:

  • Regularly check the tension and fixings, especially after strong winds or heavy rain.
  • Clean the shade sail by hand using mild soap and water with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
  • For deeper cleaning, the shade sail can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Allow it to air dry completely before re-installing.
  • Store in a dry place during winter months or prolonged periods of non-use to prolong its lifespan.
