The sail’s concave\/curved edges and reinforced seams are engineered to maintain tension and minimize center sag, and it’s intended to be installed with a 20–40° tilt to encourage water runoff and avoid pooling. ColourTree offers local manufacturing, a three-year performance support window, and custom sizing options for unique spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will this shade sail keep my patio dry during sudden rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sail uses a waterproof 220GSM polyester with a PU coating that repels water rather than absorbing it.
