{"product_id":"rectangular-shade-sail-black-uv-protective-mould-resistant-kevlar","title":"Rectangular Shade Sail Black - UV-Resistant, Mould-Proof PU Oxford | Kevlar","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack shade, fixed between four anchor points and drawn taut above the outdoor space below. The Kevlar is the most architecturally bold option in the Shadelys rectangular shade sail range: a flat, deliberate black canopy that turns the overhead plane into a design feature as much as a functional shade structure. PU coated oxford fabric, stainless steel corner fittings, PE ropes included. Available in multiple sizes to suit a wide range of outdoor spaces. Shade that makes a statement from the first installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PU coated oxford fabric delivers the same technical performance across the Shadelys shade sail range: water resistant, mould-proof and UV-protective. The coating handles light to moderate rainfall without saturating, resists the mould and mildew that Australian summer humidity promotes in untreated outdoor fabrics, and blocks harmful UV rays across the full canopy area. In black, the fabric absorbs overhead glare entirely rather than reflecting or diffusing it, creating the deepest and most defined shade in the range beneath the sail. Dark tones also hold their character across multiple seasons of UV exposure where lighter canopies gradually pale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel fasteners at each of the four corners provide the fixing points for the included PE ropes. Once the sail is anchored between four fixed points - posts, walls, trees or any stable structure - the ropes connect each corner to the mounting hardware and allow basic tension adjustment. For precise tensioning and a clean, taut installation, pairing the Kevlar with a compatible stainless steel fitting kit is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA black rectangular shade sail for contemporary and design-led outdoor spaces\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kevlar 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 corner anchor points allow the sail to be tensioned symmetrically across its full span for a clean, flat profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe included PE ropes connect each sail corner 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 natural slope across the canopy that allows rainwater to run off rather than pooling at the centre of the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWall and post mounting hardware - pad eyes, carabiners and turnbuckles - is not included with the sail.

Powder-coated black steel frames, charcoal composite decking, dark-toned render and cladding - the aesthetic logic of the last decade in Australian outdoor design runs consistently toward dark, deliberate material choices. A black shade sail extends that logic overhead, completing the palette of a considered outdoor space rather than introducing a contrasting element into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst white render or pale limestone paving, the Kevlar reads as a graphic architectural feature - a flat black plane drawn across the outdoor space that makes everything beneath it feel more intentional. Above dark hardwood or composite decking, it creates tonal continuity and depth. Around a pool, it absorbs glare rather than reflecting it, making the environment beneath the sail noticeably more comfortable through the harshest midday hours of the Australian summer. In high-traffic outdoor areas where pale canopies show every mark within a season, black holds its identity across multiple years of outdoor exposure with minimal visible deterioration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRectangular shade sail, multiple sizes available.
