Kookaburra Waterproof Garden Sun Shade Sail Canopy in Ivory 98% UV Block (3m x 2m Rectangle)

Product Information

The sales pictures make these shade sails look like a dream of shaded areas and beautifully comfortable ambience.

This should be left for a minimum of 48 hours to allow it to set completely before you attach the sail shade. To connect your sail shade you should first attach the adjustable fixings to the mounting points (ensuring they face the centre of the sail shade) and then attach the sail shade to these, using a strap tensioner to stretch the sail shade as tightly as possible, replacing this with a turnbuckle for final tensioning and adjustment.

In the unlikely event that a product develops a fault once you have received it, we will at our discretion either repair it, replace the faulty part or offer a refund but we are not responsible for any consequential loss or expenditure incurred as a result of any fault arising. You’d expect a quality product from a company whose raison d’être is shade sails, and Clara’s rectangle blue sail doesn’t disappoint.

It just seemed thicker and stronger than the other products we reviewed, and under closer inspection (plus using my Google-fu to look the product specs up on the web) I saw that it is indeed made of a thicker polyester weighing 220gsm which makes it heavy duty, that’s a lot more weight per square metre than any of of our other reviews. This slight "elasticity" allows the fabrics to effectively combat the impact of gusts of wind, hail and rain without damaging yourself.

This could be a good thing for some people though, who would like to get a little sun without the risk of burning. As I already mention at the start, despite the fact I have my shade sail little more than head height from the ground and directly above my seating area, I still face issues with the sun getting on my back.
