What this shade sail is

The Harbor Rectangular Shade Sail is a four-sided canopy for outdoor spaces. It is made of Oxford polyester that is waterproof and UV-resistant, so it works as a sun shade for a patio, deck, driveway or backyard seating area. The fabric lets rain through rather than holding it on top, which helps the sail keep its shape in wet weather.

Each corner has a stainless steel D-ring. The D-rings give you a solid anchor point for the ropes, and 4 ropes come in the box with the sail. No other mounting hardware is included, so plan your posts, trees or wall anchors before you install.

Small sizes suit a single chair, a small table or a doorway. Mid sizes cover a dining set or a seating corner. The largest sizes shade a full patio, a carport area or a long stretch of deck.

Colors

This sail comes in 13 colors: Lake blue, Beige, Gray, White, Coffee, Blackish green, Khaki, Green, Royal blue, Sand yellow, Black, Orange and Rust red.

Light colors such as White, Beige and Khaki keep the area under the sail bright. Dark colors such as Black, Coffee and Blackish green give deeper shade and hide marks from trees and weather. Bright colors such as Orange, Rust red and Royal blue add a clear accent to a plain yard.

How to fit and use it

Pick the size and color, then check the span between your anchor points.
Attach the 4 included ropes to the stainless steel D-rings at each corner.
Tie the ropes to posts, trees, beams or wall anchors. Keep the sail slightly angled so rain moves through the fabric and does not sit in the middle.
Pull the ropes snug, but leave a little give. A sail that is too tight can strain the fabric and the anchor points.
Check the ropes after the first few days and tighten them again if the fabric has settled.

A rectangular sail works best over a rectangular area, such as a patio table, a lounge set or a parking spot. If you want more coverage, you can hang more than one sail side by side. Leave a small gap between sails so air moves through and rain drains away.

Care and storage

Rinse the sail with water and let it dry fully before you store it. Fold it loosely and keep it in a dry place when the season ends. Do not pack it away wet, because damp fabric can hold odors over time. Check the D-rings and ropes each season for wear, and replace any rope that looks frayed.

Questions

Is this shade sail waterproof?

Yes. The Oxford polyester is waterproof and UV-resistant. Rain passes through the fabric rather than collecting on top, so the sail does not hold a pool of water.

What is included with the shade sail?

You get 1 shade sail and 4 ropes. The ropes attach to the stainless steel D-rings in each corner. No posts or wall anchors are included.

What sizes does it come in?

There are 10 rectangular sizes, from 6.6 x 6.6 ft (2 x 2 m) up to 13.1 x 16.4 ft (4 x 5 m). Pick a size that spans your anchor points with a little room to pull the fabric snug.

How do I clean and store it?

Rinse the sail with water and let it dry completely before storing. Fold it loosely and keep it in a dry place. Do not store it wet.
