- High-Quality Virgin Material: Crafted from 190 GSM 100% virgin (non-recycled) HDPE, our shade sail is built for durability. It has undergone 20,000 hours of UV testing, proving to be 70% more resistant to sun exposure than recycled HDPE. The UV stabilized compound treatment prevents drying, tearing, and fading, significantly extending the product's lifespan. - Effective UV Protection: Blocks 95% of harmful UV rays, reducing heat and sunlight in shaded areas. This makes it ideal for patios, swimming pools, balconies, and carports, keeping your outdoor spaces comfortable during the summer. - Breathable Design: The woven fabric allows air and water to flow freely, preventing water pooling during rain. It is resistant to both UV rays and water, ensuring low maintenance and long-lasting performance. - Durable Construction: Heavy-duty double-layer stitched seams reinforce all edges, preventing fraying and distortion. Each corner features a stainless steel D-ring for easy installation, with extra heavy stitching to ensure secure attachments. - Easy Installation: Installation hardware kits are sold separately. Each D-ring requires one cable rope (avoid nylon ropes as they are prone to breaking). Connect the cables to existing poles, trees, or walls using recommended shade sail hardware kits for optimal performance. Applications: 1. Create a shaded area over your patio for relaxation and outdoor dining. 2. Protect your swimming pool area from harmful UV rays while maintaining airflow. 3. Use in carports to shield your vehicle from the sun's damaging effects.
