The sun shade sail is affixed to vertical surfaces high off the ground, such as posts, side of a house, trees etc.. Each set of shade sail has a stainless steel D-ring and uses some combination of hooks, ropes or clips to anchor to the surface. The sun shade sail is pulled taut to cover as much area as possible.
Since the shade sail is tightly stretched, it’s recommended to tie it to a sturdy structure; if you must set up posts, you’ll need to dig deep into the ground, at least one-third the length of your post. The sail should slope slightly downward so that rain doesn’t pool.
There are three shapes of sun shade sail: triangle, square, rectangle. The rectangle shade sail offer the most coverage, but triangles tend to be easier to set up. Please take into consideration the space you want to cover and where you can set it up.
The sun shade sail material is high-density polyethylene(HDPE), which allows the sail to stretch while still maintaining its structure and preventing sunlight from coming through. Heavy-duty nylon and polyester are also available for those seeking more durability.
Various colors are available, such as white, tan, yellow, deep blue, green etc… Light color are much preferred since they won’t absorb much heat from the sun as darker. Also patterns are flexible, there are many different patterns that also can be customized. The right tone of color and pattern can also enhance attractiveness of your outdoor space, whether you want a pop color or to complement existing decor.
The sun shade sail can block at least 90% UV rays, with the highest-quality ones blocking out up to 98%. The fabric can also add UV stabilizers that makes the sail much durable and ageing-resistant. Usually with 5% UV stabilizer shade sail, the life span can reach to 5-10 year.
