FAQs
What does UPF34+ mean?
UPF34+ means the fabric has been independently tested to block over 96.5% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Is this shade sail completely waterproof?
The shade sail is water-resistant, meaning it can offer shelter from light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and may leak in prolonged or heavy downpours.
How do I clean the shade sail?
You can clean it with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse well and let it air dry completely.
Can this be left up year-round?
This shade sail is lightweight and ideal for short-term outdoor use. For longevity, it's recommended to take it down during harsh weather conditions or extended periods of non-use.
What is the benefit of the small holes in the weave?
The small holes allow hot air to escape from underneath the sail, promoting airflow and preventing the space from becoming excessively hot and stuffy, even while blocking sun.
What is GSM?
GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre, which measures the weight and thickness of the fabric. Higher GSM generally indicates a thicker, more durable fabric. This sail is 140G.
Troubleshooting
Shade sail is sagging
Re-tension the ropes or cables attached to the corners. Ensure all anchor points are secure and the sail is pulled taut.
Water pooling on the surface
Adjust the tension and angle of the sail to create a slope for water runoff. Ensure there are no low points where water can collect.
Mildew or mold appearing
Clean the sail immediately with a mild detergent and water. Ensure the sail is completely dry before storing or re-installing.
Torn fabric near attachment points
Check if the attachment hardware is causing excessive friction or stress. Consider using a grommet protector or reinforcing the area if damage is minor.
