{"product_id":"dacron-anthracite-rectangular-shade-sail","title":"Rectangular Shade Sail Anthracite - UV-Protective, Mould-Resistant | Dacron","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnthracite shade, fixed between four anchor points and drawn taut above the outdoor space below. The Dacron is a rectangular shade sail built for the outdoor areas where a standard umbrella runs out of reach — a pool deck that extends beyond any single canopy, a long alfresco dining area that needs continuous overhead coverage, or an open garden space where a permanent shade structure makes more sense than a portable one. PU coated oxford fabric, stainless steel corner fittings, PE ropes included. Available in multiple sizes to suit a wide range of outdoor spaces. A fixed shade solution designed for installation between suitable anchor points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PU coated oxford fabric delivers a level of technical performance that standard polyester canopies cannot match. The coating makes the fabric water resistant, mould-resistant and UV-protective — capable of handling light to moderate rainfall without saturating, resistant to the mould and mildew that humid Australian conditions promote in untreated outdoor fabrics, and helps reduce direct UV exposure beneath the canopy. The anthracite tone holds its depth through sustained sun exposure without bleaching, and absorbs rather than reflects harsh overhead glare, creating a cooler and more comfortable environment beneath the sail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour stainless steel triangular fasteners are integrated at each corner of the sail, providing the fixing points for the included PE ropes. Once the sail is anchored between four fixed points — structurally suitable fixed anchor points, such as purpose-built posts, appropriate wall fixings or suitable structural beams — the ropes connect the sail corners to the anchor hardware and allow basic tension adjustment. For precise tensioning and a clean, taut installation, pairing the Dacron with a compatible stainless steel fitting kit is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA rectangular shade sail for pools, alfresco areas and open garden spaces\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dacron is available in multiple sizes — select the right coverage for your outdoor space using the size options above. The rectangular shape suits long tables and linear outdoor spaces where a triangular sail would leave corners exposed and a square sail would overhang the edges unevenly. Four anchor points, one at each corner, allow the sail to be tensioned symmetrically for a clean, flat installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included PE ropes connect the sail corners to the anchor hardware at each fixing point. For best results, install two corners of the sail higher than the other two — this creates a slope across the canopy that allows rainwater to run off rather than pooling in the centre of the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWall and post mounting hardware — pad eyes, carabiners and turnbuckles — is not included with the sail. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/shade-sail-fitting-kit-stainless-steel\"\u003eShade Sail Fitting Kit Standard\u003c\/a\u003e (4-point, stainless steel) is the compatible option for this rectangular sail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA fixed shade solution for outdoor space\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA shade sail occupies a different position in the outdoor space from an umbrella: it is fixed rather than portable, architectural rather than furniture, part of the structure of the outdoor room rather than an element within it. For outdoor spaces where permanent overhead shade makes more practical sense than a freestanding umbrella — a pool area where a base would occupy usable deck space, a long alfresco where a single umbrella leaves half the table uncovered, or a play area where shade needs to be consistent regardless of wind direction — the Dacron delivers coverage that a portable shade structure cannot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anthracite tone works across a wide range of outdoor settings. Against white render or pale limestone paving it reads as a deliberate architectural element; above dark hardwood or composite decking it creates tonal depth without heaviness; around a pool it absorbs glare rather than reflecting it, making the overall environment beneath the sail noticeably more comfortable through the harshest midday hours of the Australian summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRectangular shade sail, multiple sizes available. PU coated 100% polyester oxford fabric, anthracite. UV-protective, water resistant, mould-resistant. Stainless steel triangular fasteners at all 4 corners. PE ropes included.

The canopy is water resistant but not fully waterproof under heavy rainfall — treat with a waterproofing spray for additional protection in wet conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shadelys","offers":[{"title":"2 x 2.5 m","offer_id":62925679165770,"sku":"135089","price":139.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2.5 x 3 m","offer_id":62925679198538,"sku":"135095","price":199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 x 4 m","offer_id":62925679231306,"sku":"42303","price":239.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2.5 x 3.5 m","offer_id":62925679264074,"sku":"135096","price":249.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2.5 x 4 m","offer_id":62925679296842,"sku":"135097","price":259.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 x 4 m","offer_id":62925679329610,"sku":"135100","price":269.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 x 5 m","offer_id":62925679362378,"sku":"135102","price":289.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3.5 x 5 m","offer_id":62925679395146,"sku":"135105","price":289.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 x 6 m","offer_id":62925679427914,"sku":"135103","price":299.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 x 5 m","offer_id":62925679460682,"sku":"135106","price":309.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 x 6 m","offer_id":62925679493450,"sku":"42304","price":319.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 x 7 m","offer_id":63409133355338,"sku":"135108","price":329.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1061\/3522\/4650\/files\/8RectangularShadeSailAnthracite-UV-Resistant_Mould-Proof_Dacron.webp?v=1786445630","url":"https:\/\/shadelys.com\/products\/dacron-anthracite-rectangular-shade-sail","provider":"Shadelys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
