Kookaburra Waterproof Garden Sun Shade Sail Canopy in Ivory 98% UV Block (3m x 2m Rectangle)

Product Information

With the smallest triangle shaped version of this shade sail going for a penny under 12 pounds, I really think this is one of the best value for money products out there and, if set up properly, it shouldn’t disappoint.

Alternatively, if you’re looking to hang your shade sail directly from the back of your property, make sure you fix it with hooks strong enough to withstand heavy winds. We are so confident in the quality of our sail shades that we offer a 2 year warranty and consider the quality of our waterproof sail shades unrivaled. The sun sail,Made from 100% HDPE (high-density polyethylene), protects you from direct sunlight, allows enough wind and is water permeable. This versatile square sun shade sail is the ultimate summertime staple, perfect for using over patios and gardens, swimming pools, paddling pools, and BBQ areas. It would have been nice to have a choice of colours, shapes, and sizes, but it looks like the makers just wanted to concentrate on one particular model and keep the quality high instead, and with that they did a great job.Long-term shades are great if you have any existing, robust structures that can anchor down your sails – such as a wall, wooden post or tree (at least 25cm in diameter). If you’re looking to up your outdoor entertaining game this spring and summer, guests will be seriously impressed with a thoughtfully positioned shade sail overhead. If you are looking to find a garden sail that offers both sun and rain protection AND that you can install yourself then you have come to the right place.

Cheri LaMay of Earthworks Garden Design explains further their influence, “They bring a great opportunity to add colour, uniting an area if the colour of the sail is harmonious with the planting scheme palette. Like the Ankuka and Clara models, this one comes with a free carry bag which will come in handy when storing away during the colder months of the year, but you will be safe leaving this shade sail set up during the spring and summer as it is mould resistant and easy to clean with standard soap and water. The sales pictures make these shade sails look like a dream of shaded areas and beautifully comfortable ambience. The main material is durable and shouldn’t tear easily, the webbing is strong and well-made and stitching is equally high quality especially around the sewn in straps on the edges. Concrete should be well packed down around the pole and sloping slightly outwards at the top to ensure water does not collect around the pole.These are available from most good hardware distributors and connect the fascia to the joists or trusses. If you don’t have anything adequate I would recommend this rope/cord as it ties easily and is the same as my friend generously gave me. We tried a range of shade sails in different shapes and sizes on our patio space, looking for durability, quality of finish, weather resistance, ease of use, and importantly, whether the sail gave us adequate cover from the sun. For those that like to blend, La Redoute’s offering features an arresting pattern of botanical motifs, lending a tropical aesthetic to outdoor spaces while keeping the look naturally green.

Another excellent option for families, this sail comes with 98% UV protection and waterproofing so you can still sit out even on overcast days.It is also very breathable but I did notice that more sunlight seemed to come through than some of our other reviewed products. Before I took it out of the packaging I weighed my sail – 6m2 weighed in at a touch under 1kg which equates to 160GSM – exactly the same as it’s top rival the Kookaburra and are direct competitors. If you’re after a sustainable alternative to man-made shade sails then this one, crafted from coconut coir, ticks all the right boxes. The triangular model that we put up had curved sides rather than the usual straight angles, and although this reduces the amount of shade very slightly, it does give it a very appealing aesthetic. New for the brand, the colourful canopies come in a range of hues from cheery brights to calming neutrals, and in triangular, square or rectangle configurations in various sizes.
