4.5 x 4.5 x 4.5m SAND Triangle The Shady Lady Range

If you are purchasing one of our Shady Lady Range of shade sails then your product is covered with a 2-year manufacturing warranty. Manufacturing of our products is done with quality components to ensure the longevity of the shade sail. The shade cloth used is chosen from a reputable manufacturer which ensure the fabric is flawless.

Specifications - 280gsm shade cloth fabric with a 5-year UV rating and manufactured with extra strong 38mm seat belt webbing, industrial UV stabilized thread and marine-grade 316 stainless steel buckles. 

Please be aware that our warranties DO NOT COVER incorrect installation practices, damage caused by storms, hailstones, mechanical damage, damage caused by birds or other animals, fire, lightning etc. This is not an exhaustive list and it is for reference only. The Outdoor Shop Australia P/L recommends that your shade sail be removed during times of severe weather warnings and that you ensure you shade sail with your household insurance. It is also important to store your shade sail correctly away from rodents or other pests when not in use. Claims will not be processed if the damage is due to the above. 

Examples of an incorrect installation are below - 

Under tensioning the sail - allowing the sail to flap about in the wind is just as bad for the sail as over tensioning. Shade sails left to flap about will also lead to deterioration of the stitching. Over tensioning the sail from all or one corners - this leads to undue stress on webbing and stitching. The shade sail, when installed correctly, should have a smooth appearance, that is, not having the appearance of being pulled from one direction, this will lead to a wrinkled look and also damage the webbing and stitching.

We recommend that you take a photo of the sail once you have installed it. This is your record of installation. It is also recommended that you periodically check all fixing points and ensure they are nice and firm and the sail is kept nice and taught as the constant movement of the sail could eventually damage the corners and compromise the structure.

Measurements of the shade sails are taken from the buckle to buckle along the nominal straight line of the sails. They are manufactured with a curved edge so that the tensioning can be applied evenly across the entire surface, if the sails were a square piece of fabric with no curved edges, there would be no way to apply even tension across the entire surface of the fabric. Please note the curvature will vary slightly between shapes and sizes.

Shady Lady tip - It is always recommended that you purchase your shade sail before installing your fixing accessories.
