Waterproof Triangular Shade Sail | Stainless D-Rings | Jib

You receive the shade sail, with a stainless steel D-ring on reinforced webbing at every corner. Pad eyes, turnbuckles and snap hooks aren't included: add our 304 stainless steel fixing kit (one kit covers every corner) for a taut finish on walls or posts, or use your own hardware on existing solid anchor points.

Measure the distance between your anchor points, not the area you want to shade. Then choose a sail at least 45 cm shorter than that distance at every corner, so there's room to tension it. The size guide in the product photos lists every size with its sail area and the anchor spacing it needs. Sizes are measured ring to ring and the edges are curved, so the shaded area is slightly smaller than the nominal size.

Yes. The 420D Oxford fabric has a PU coating tested to over 2,000 mm of water column, so rain runs off rather than soaking through. The sail must be hung on a slope (about 1 m of drop for every 4 m of sail): hung flat, any waterproof sail will collect water, which stretches the fabric and loads the anchor points. Panels are joined with double-stitched seams; in very heavy rain, a little water can come through at a seam.

Charcoal and Sand are among the most popular choices in Australia: they suit most homes and hide marks well. Light Grey and White keep the space bright and reflect more heat. Forest Green blends into gardens, Ocean Blue suits pools and play areas, Terracotta warms up brick and timber, and Sunflower is a favourite for kids' spaces. Darker colours cut more glare; lighter colours reflect more heat.

A waterproof sail doesn't let warm air escape through the fabric, so hang it high (ideally 2.4 m or more at the low corners) and keep the sides open so air can move underneath. Lighter colours reflect more of the sun's heat; darker colours cut more glare.

Only to solid points: a brick or block wall (with masonry anchors), a roof bracket fixed into a rafter, a steel post set in concrete, or a mature, healthy tree. Fascia boards, gutters, roof sheeting, fences and light poles aren't built for the pull of a tensioned sail and can be damaged in wind. Not sure? Email us a photo of your space.

A waterproof sail catches more wind than shade mesh, because air can't pass through it. Fixed to solid anchor points and properly tensioned, it's made for everyday outdoor use. Unclip it when strong or gusty wind is forecast, and when you're away for a few days. With snap hooks on the corners, it only takes a few minutes.

A triangle fits corners and irregular spaces and only needs three anchor points. Our right-angle sizes slot neatly into the corner between two walls. A rectangle covers more area for the same side length and suits long, straight spaces like a dining area or a driveway. For a large or awkward area, two overlapping triangles at different heights work well.

Yes, if you already have solid anchor points: a mature tree, an existing post or existing eye bolts. Avoid fences and light poles. For walls, you'll need to fix pad eyes.

We recommend taking it down over winter and before storms. Hose it off, let it dry completely, fold it and store it somewhere dry. It will last longer.

Hose it down and use a soft brush with mild soapy water. Avoid pressure washers and harsh chemicals, which can damage the coating. Let it dry completely before folding it away, to keep mould at bay.

It depends on your council and on the sail's size, height and position. Small sails behind the front of the house are often exempt (in NSW, for example, up to 20 m² and 3 m high), but rules vary between states and councils. Check with your local council before installing, especially for sails over 20 m² or anything in front of your home.

Every sail is covered by our 2-year warranty. If it isn't right for your space, you can return it within 14 days of delivery. See our Refund Policy for the details.
