SUNNY GUARD 10' x 16' Rectangle Shade Sail — 95% UV Block, Breathable 185 GSM Outdoor Canopy

The SUNNY GUARD 10' x 16' Rectangle Shade Sail is a durable outdoor canopy made from high-density polyethylene that blocks up to 95% of UV rays while remaining breathable and water-permeable.

This 10' x 16' rectangular sun shade is built for patios, poolsides, gardens and BBQ areas where reliable sun protection and airflow matter. Constructed from 185 GSM high-density polyethylene, the fabric is woven to provide strong UV defense without trapping heat, allowing air and light moisture to pass through. The sail comes with thickened ropes and is compatible with additional stainless-steel installation hardware for a longer-lasting attachment.

How will this shade sail reduce heat and sun exposure in my outdoor area?

The tightly woven 185 GSM HDPE fabric blocks up to 95% of harmful UV rays and reduces direct sunlight, creating a cooler shaded area beneath the canopy. Because the fabric is breathable, hot air can escape and a natural breeze still passes through, which helps lower perceived temperature without altering airflow.

• 95% UV block rate for strong sun protection
• Breathable weave that allows air and light moisture through
• Large 10' x 16' coverage for seating, dining or poolside areas
• Reduces sun glare while preserving outdoor comfort

What are the material and sizing details I should check before buying?

This sail is made from brand-new high-density polyethylene (185 GSM) designed to resist tearing and fading under sun exposure. When planning installation, leave 0.5–1 foot between the fixing points and the shade edge to accommodate ropes, hooks or hardware, and expect a potential manufacturing variance of ±4 inches in finished dimensions.

• Material: 185 GSM high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
• Nominal size: 10 feet by 16 feet (allow ±4 inches tolerance)
• Recommended clearance: 0.5–1 foot from anchors to sail edge

How easy is installation and what accessories are included or recommended?
