HDPE Breathable Quadrati Custom Rectangle Sun Shade Sail

Sun Shade Sail Instruction Mannual

Determining the Anchor Point

Waterpooling will cause extra stress on the shade sail and your mounting surfaces. So it's recommended to install your shade sail with a tilt of at least 40 degree to allow water to drain. There are several different ways you can tilt your shade sail

Secure the correct angle between mounting point and sail corners: make sure your shade sail are based on the continuity of the diagonals and not the sides. This will help create even tension and a flat sun shade surface

Take the sun into consideration. Think about what time of day you'll usually be enjoying your outdoor space and where you want the shade to be located for a more effective installation

Measuring the Shade Sails

Make sure you are measuring from mounting point to mounting point, and not just measuring the area on the ground. It might help to determine and note down the height of each of your mounting points from the ground up, especially if you wish to anchor the shade sail onto walls.

Different shaped shade sail requires different measurements to be taken
 • Triangular: 3 sides
 • Rectangular: 4 sides & two diagonal

We recommend measuring from anchor point to anchor point. Based on the numbers you provide we'll deduct 20 inches on the either the longest side or the longer diagonal (depending on which shade sail it is - specified on product page) while maintaining the shape to ensure a stable attachment, proper tension and minimize sagging.

The maximum recommended length for any single side of our shade sails is 245". Sails exceeding this span may experience significantly increased risks of sagging and water pooling. For larger shading areas, we recommend using multiple sails in combination for better performance and stability.

Installing the Shade Sails

1.Place pad eye onto the determined mounting point and mark the four holes.

2.Use the corresponding sized drill bit to drill into marked points and insert expansion inserts a. (e.g. M6 requires 6-mm diameter drill bit)

3.Place pad eye back on and secure with nails

4.Install snap hook or adjustable turnbuckles as needed and make sure the tension of the shade sail surface is correctly distributed. The shade sail should be flat and evenly stretched out in all directions.

Ensure the mounting point direction is a continuation on the diagonal of the shade sail surface for even tension distribution.

Make sure the shade sails are installed at least 40 degree angle so that water can drain smoothly to prevent pooling

All corners of the shade sail need to be fully stretched out and evenly distributed

Apart from hardware installation kit and ropes we also offer support pole and ring clip that can be used to secure shade sails
 • The pole is secured at the base with four pieces of expansion nails
 • Install the ring buckle where you wish the mounting point to be and use with snap hook or turnbuckles to secure your shade.
