Product Information

Full details

This VIDAXL Sunshade Sail is designed for individuals seeking versatile and durable sun protection for their outdoor spaces like gardens, terraces, playgrounds, or balconies. Its key benefit is providing approximately 90% UV protection with a breathable HDPE material that is resistant to water, mould, and scratches. A minor caveat is that while water-permeable, it is not fully waterproof, so heavy rain may still penetrate.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the sunshade sail?

The sunshade sail is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a durable and UV-resistant material.

How much UV protection does this sail offer?

The sunshade sail provides approximately 90% UV protection.

Is the sail completely waterproof?

No, the sail is water-permeable, meaning it allows some water to pass through. It is not designed to be fully waterproof.

What is included with the sunshade sail?

The sunshade sail comes with stainless steel fasteners at each corner and ropes for assembly.

Can I leave the sail up in the rain?

While the sail is water-permeable, it is not waterproof. Leaving it up in heavy rain may result in water penetration. It is best to take it down during severe weather.

What are the dimensions of the sunshade sail?

The sunshade sail measures 2.5 x 5 meters.

How do I clean the sunshade sail?

Clean it with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth, then rinse and allow to air dry.

Troubleshooting

Sail is sagging excessively.

Check the tension of the ropes and tighten them. Ensure anchor points are secure and consider adding additional tie-down points if necessary.

Fasteners appear loose.

Ensure the stainless steel fasteners are securely attached to the sail's reinforced corners. If they are damaged, contact customer support.

Mildew or discoloration appears.

Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the sail is properly dried before storage to prevent mildew growth.

Wind is causing excessive flapping.

Reduce the tension on the sail to allow for some movement, or ensure anchor points are extremely secure. Consider a less taut installation if consistent high winds are a concern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Attach the included ropes to the stainless steel fasteners at each corner of the sunshade sail.
