The rectangular balcony sail made of robust HDPE fabric provides generous shade and effective UV protection. The sail is weather-resistant, while the mesh structure reduces excessive heat build-up. Use the sun sail as a privacy screen on the balcony or by the pool as well as to provide shade over the veranda or patio. The garden awning is attached to the 4 hooks using the tensioning ropes supplied and can be stretched tightly thanks to its concave shape. Note: Remove the sun sail during thunderstorms, storms and in winter to protect it from damage.
