Frequently Asked Questions
How much sun does it actually block?
It is designed to block harsh sun and UV rays over the area it covers. That keeps the space beneath noticeably cooler through the afternoon. You can sit out at midday without hunting for shade.
What size should I choose?
Six variants are listed above, so measure the area you want covered and pick from those. A slightly larger sail gives you more shade as the sun moves. Every variant is built the same way.
Can I leave it up in bad weather?
It is made for outdoor, weather exposed use and tested against humidity and knocks. Many owners leave it up right through the season. Taking it down over winter simply keeps it fresher for longer.
Is it hard to put up?
Setup is straightforward and needs no special tools in most gardens. Most people have it tensioned and giving shade the same day. If your layout changes, you can move it somewhere new.
How do I keep it clean?
Rinse it down and let it dry fully before folding it away. The surface resists everyday marks, so dirt does not settle in easily. A quick clean at the end of summer is usually all it needs.
