Which hardware do I need?
The kit depends on what you fix the corners to, not on the sail size.
What will you fix the corners to?
A black rectangle shade sail in PU-coated Oxford polyester, with a stainless steel corner fastener (D-ring on a webbing strap) at every corner and 4 tensioning ropes included. Designed to create a cool, shaded spot over a patio, deck, pool area, sandpit or balcony, fixed to walls, posts or sturdy trees.
What's in the box
- 1 × rectangle shade sail – Black
- 4 × 1.5 m PE rope
- Illustrated installation guide (PDF) – download it here
Wall and post fittings (pad eyes, carabiners, turnbuckles) are sold separately: our 8-piece Wall Mount Kit, or two 2-point Hardware Kits, fix this sail. Posts are not included – you need 4 solid anchor points, such as a masonry wall, a structural beam or post, or a sturdy tree.
Specifications
- Fabric: 100% polyester Oxford with PU coating
- Corner fittings: stainless steel D-rings on webbing straps
- Shape: rectangle
- Available sizes: 2 x 2.5 m, 2.5 x 3 m, 2.5 x 3.5 m, 2.5 x 4 m, 3.5 x 5 m, 3 x 6 m, 4 x 5 m, 4 x 6 m
- Colour: Black
Installation
- Fix two diagonally opposite corners higher than the other two so rain runs off. As a general rule of thumb allow a slope of around 20% (about 20 cm of drop per metre).
- Leave 15–30 cm between each corner and its anchor point for the fittings and tensioning.
- Tension the sail firmly so the fabric sits flat without wrinkles or pockets where water could collect.
- Take the sail down in strong winds and storms, and over winter if it is not in use.
- This is a shade sail, not a waterproof roof: it is designed for shade, so take it down or angle it for run-off in heavy rain.

1Distance between your fixing points
Optional: is your space a true rectangle?
Measure from one corner to the opposite corner (the gold dotted lines), both ways. If the two numbers are about the same, your 4 points form a true rectangle and the sail will tension evenly. You can skip this step.
2What will you fix the corners to?
Why we ask: it picks the right fixing kit for you.

Quick answers
Which size should I choose?
Use the shade planner above, or our size guide: it shows the space each size needs. Still unsure? Send us a photo for a free shade plan.
Is the fixing hardware included?
Your sail comes with its tensioning ropes. Pad eyes, carabiners and turnbuckles come in our fixing kits, sold separately: one Wall Mount Kit or two 2-point kits for a rectangle, one 3-point kit for a triangle.
Is it waterproof?
No: it's a water-resistant sail, not a waterproof roof. Give it a clear slope so rain runs off, and never let water pool on the fabric.
How long does delivery take?
Orders usually leave an Australian warehouse within 1 business day. Metro delivery takes about 6 business days in total; some products show a longer estimate on their page, and regional areas can take longer. Large items can come in several cartons.
How do I install it?
Our illustrated installation guides take you through every step, with simple diagrams.
