What makes this shade sail effective Function: Rectangular design creates broad, even shade over patios, pools, balconies, garages and other open areas. Performance: Fabric blocks up to 95% of sun rays to lower temperatures and limit UV exposure. Compatibility: Works with standard anchor points, posts, pergolas, railings or trees; extra-long rope included to accommodate distance between anchor and sail. Durable construction and materials Heavy-duty Oxford fabric: breathable yet highly durable, resists sun degradation and remains water-resistant over time. Reinforced edges: double-layer, strengthened stitching along all sides prevents fraying and distortion. Extra-thick seams: ensure secure attachment and reduce stress on the corners. Stainless steel grommets: sturdy, rust-resistant hardware guaranteed to hold through prolonged outdoor exposure. Water management: fabric sheds water reliably so puddling does not occur; designed for low-maintenance outdoor use.
