Instructions / Assembly

Connect anchor accessories to mounting points as required. Ensure all connections face
towards the middle of the sail and are tightly secured. Check again to ensure all
mounting points are solid.
Connecting the Shade Sail
Lay your shade sail out on the ground where it will provide shade. Use the selected anchor
accessories to attach each corner of the shade sail loosely to a fixing point.
A properly mounted and tensioned shade sail will have approximately 100 pounds of
tension on it and will have few to no wrinkles. Connect all points, using rope or wire cable
if necessary, to gain increased leverage. The rope can be threaded around a number of
t
imes so that it works as a "pulley" mechanism. Another tensioning method would be to use
a turnbuckle which can aid in applying the proper amount of tension. Stop tensioning
when the shade sail is rigid with few or no wrinkles.
Your shade sail is designed to provide UV protection and comfort in domestic areas.
When selecting the position for your shade sail, ensure all fixing points are structurally
sound and anchors are tightly secured. Inspect regularly. Prior to installing, consult your
local zoning entity regarding building regulations which may apply in your area.
Exposure to certain chemicals, e.g. Chlorine,
can lead to the premature breakdown of the
fabric.
Do not have a fire or an open flame close to the fabric. Do not use your barbecue under
the shade structure.
Care Instruction:
Your shade sails may be cleaned at any time using a solution of mild soap and water.
Apply the solution with a sponge or a very soft brush. Let the solution stand on the fabric
for 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly with water from your garden hose.
This HDPE material sun sail can be routinely cleaned with a hose spray.
DO NOT put the fabric in your washing machine, clothes drier, or scrub it wi
th a stiff
brush, scouring pad, or an abrasive cleaner.
In determining the location for your shade sail it is important to keep in mind the fact that
the sun is constantly moving across the sky from east to west, which means that the shade
moves with the position of the sun. You will only have shade directly under the shade sail
at midday during midsummer.
NOTE: Shade sails should not be used near an open flame. Do not use your barbecue
under the shade structure.
Once you have identified the location for your shade sail(s) it is important to determine the
most suitable fixin
g points for the corners.
Shade Sail Tension
CAUTION:
DO NOT over tension. Tension only by hand and only tight enough to get the
wrinkles out of the shade cloth.
Re-tension periodically if required.
