Troubleshooting
Sail is sagging excessively
Ensure all anchor points are secure and check the tension of the ropes. Re-tighten as necessary. Verify that anchor points are strong enough to hold the tension.
Water is pooling on the sail
Adjust the angle and tension of the sail to create a slope, allowing water to run off. Ensure there are no low points where water can collect. If pooling persists, consider re-evaluating anchor points for a better pitch.
Material appears to be deteriorating
Ensure the sail is not exposed to constant, harsh chemicals. If mould is present, clean according to care instructions. Check for excessive UV exposure over long periods, though the material is designed to be UV proof.
Difficulty attaching to anchor points
Ensure you are using the correct type of compatible hardware for your chosen anchor points. Remember that hooks and mounting accessories are sold separately.
