FAQs
What does UPF34+ mean?
UPF34+ means the fabric has been independently tested and is rated to block over 96.5% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.
Is this shade sail waterproof?
The shade sail is water-resistant due to its weave, offering protection from light rain. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate shelter during heavy downpours.
Can I use this in a very hot climate?
While it offers excellent UV protection, the tight weave is optimized for cooler climates and may retain more heat in very hot conditions compared to sails designed for high temperatures. It does have small holes to allow some air escape.
What is the GSM of this shade sail?
The product information specifies the shade sail is 140G, indicating it is lightweight.
How do I install the shade sail?
You will need secure anchor points and appropriate hardware like carabiners or turnbuckles. Install the sail with a slight slope to allow for water runoff and ensure it is taut.
What is the best way to clean the shade sail?
Clean with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth. Rinse well and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the warranty period?
Warranty information is not provided in the product details. Please refer to your point of purchase for warranty specifics.
Troubleshooting
Sail is sagging and not taut
Check and adjust the tension on the attachment hardware. Ensure all anchor points are secure and suitable for bearing the load.
Water pooling on the sail
Ensure the sail is installed with a slope or angle to allow water to run off. Adjust anchor points to create a downward pitch.
Fabric appears dirty or has mildew spots
Clean the sail with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Ensure proper storage to prevent mildew.
Color fading over time
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to intense UV rays can cause fading. Consider taking down the sail during extended periods of non-use or in extreme weather.
