Troubleshooting

Shade sail is not taut

Ensure all anchor points are secure. Adjust the turnbuckles for maximum tension. Consider adding extra rope to extend the reach to anchor points if necessary.

Water pooling on the surface

Adjust the installation angle to create a steeper slope. Ensure there are no sagging points that prevent water from running off.

Fabric appears dirty after installation

Remove the shade sail and machine wash according to care instructions. Ensure it is completely dry before re-installation.

D rings feel loose

Check the connection between the D ring and the sail's reinforced edge. Ensure no stitching has come undone. Contact customer support if damage is present.
