Tips For Your D.I.Y. Shade Sail

Your DIY SAIL SHADE MUST be installed FIRM AND TIGHT so as to reduce windflap in the shade fabric. DIY SAIL SHADES that are loose and sloppy will cause premature failure due to mechanical breakdown. This is not UV breakdown and is not covered by the warranty.

The DIY SAIL SHADE requires periodic maintenance to ensure that the shadecloth fabric remains tight.

Your DIY SAIL SHADE may become dirty over time. Care should be taken to avoid Chemicals that may contain Bleach, or other agricultural Chemicals containing Sulphur and or Halogens (chlorine Bromine). These Chemicals may attack the UV stabilisers within the DIY SAIL SHADE, thus reducing the Life of the product and negating the warranty.

Many chemicals could damage your DIY SAIL SHADE. Such chemicals may include: pesticides, metals, metal oxides and metal salts, all halogens and chemical compounds containing halogens or sulphur in all their oxidation states.

Care should be taken to avoid exposure to petrol, oils etc

When cleaning the DIY SAIL SHADE, we recommend the use of a mild dish washing liquid with the use of a low-pressure water hose and a soft scrubbing brush. We do not recommend the use of high-pressure water, to blast the fabric clean.

The Warranty is not covered by such damage caused by storms, hailstorm, earthquake, fire, lightening, mechanical damage done by birds, other animals and any form of vandalism or misuse.

Your DIY SAIL SHADE should be taken down and stored safely over the winter period and should always be taken down if storm force conditions are forecast or in effect.

If you remove the DIY SAIL SHADE over winter, ensure that it is stored away from rats and mice, preferably stored in a protective bag.
