Product Information
Full details
The Fithian Square Shade Sail is an ideal solution for homeowners and renters seeking versatile sun protection for patios, balconies, gardens, or children's play areas. Crafted from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this sail offers effective protection against direct sunlight while remaining air and water permeable, ensuring your outdoor space stays cool and ventilated. While the sail is durable and mould-resistant, users should note that as a permeable fabric, it is not designed to provide a completely waterproof cover during heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this shade sail waterproof?
The fabric is water permeable, meaning it allows water to pass through to prevent pooling, but it is not considered 100% waterproof.
Can I leave the sail up during winter?
It is recommended to take the sail down during severe weather or winter months to protect it from heavy snow loads and high winds.
What tools do I need for installation?
You generally need a drill and appropriate fixings for your mounting surface (e.g., masonry bolts for brick walls or eye-screws for timber posts) in addition to the included ropes.
How do I measure for the shade?
Measure the distance between your planned anchor points, keeping in mind that you need extra space for the rope or additional tensioning hardware.
Does the fabric fade in the sun?
The HDPE is UV-resistant and designed to maintain its color, but some minimal fading is natural after years of direct exposure to intense sunlight.
Troubleshooting
The shade sail is sagging in the center
Re-adjust the tension on the corner ropes. Ensure all four corners are pulled taut and consider installing a tensioner if the ropes provide too much 'give'.
Water pooling on the fabric
Adjust the mounting heights of the corners so that one or two sides are lower than the others, creating a slope that allows rainwater to run off the surface.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is simple using the stainless steel fasteners attached to each corner. You should secure the sail to sturdy anchor points such as wall hooks, tensioners, or timber posts. Avoid stretching the fabric beyond its limits; use the included ropes to achieve even tension across all four points to prevent sagging.
For care, the sail is low-maintenance. To clean, use a soft brush and mild soapy water, then rinse thoroughly with a hose. Ensure the sail is completely dry before storing it away for the winter season to maintain the integrity of the fabric and hardware.
