Coconut shade sail rectangular | Model 3

This particular design, made out of coconut fiber, is to be hung, with a fixation point every meter and at each corner with the loops. Grid pattern rope reinforcement.

The installation of this shade sail requires heart-shaped thimbles and 10 m of rope Ø 1 cm for the corners.

• Mounting on cables
• Resistant to strong winds and bad weather – Rot-proof
• 100% Natural Coconut Fiber

The shade sail weaving sifts the sun’s rays, and is weatherproof, rot-resistant, and very sturdy. It allows air to pass through, for a fresh and pleasant feeling.

This design requires the installation of one steel heart-shaped thimble per loop so that it is well reinforced and thus protected from friction and wear.

The kit for design N.3 depends on the sail dimension. For each loop, you will need 1 heart-shaped thimble + 2 plastic cable ties + some fine rope (to hide the cable tie). An instruction manual is also included.

For this design, you will also need :

– some rope to attach the angle loops

– steel cables

The cable’s length and diameter depend on the distance between the loops and the fixation points. Usually, a 0,5 cm cable diameter is enough.

Shade sails are 1,2 kg per m2, and they double in weight when wet. They dry very quickly thanks to their spaced-out weaving. Coconut fiber becomes slack once it is wet, and this feature reverts when it dries up; it’s how coconut fiber reacts to the humidity. It may be necessary to slightly stretch your shade sail after the first rains, especially regarding the large sails or when they’re attached with coir rope.

RECOMMENDATION BEFORE PLACING THE SHADE SAIL

We strongly advise you to rinse your sail shades and attachment rope with running water (on gravel or lawn for example) and then let them dry before installation.

Repeat the operation if necessary.

This will minimize the deterioration that can cause, in some cases, the natural tannins of the coconut fiber.
