It is cut from a full, unspliced piece of fabric to avoid center gaps and reduce seams that can weaken shade performance. Designed for outdoor living areas, the sail is breathable (not waterproof), UV-resistant, and offered in sizes that can be customized to fit a range of patios, carports, and poolside settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow durable is the material and what level of sun protection does it offer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shade is made from 95% UV-resistant, 100% new HDPE fabric engineered for outdoor exposure.
