Description
xThe SUNNY GUARD 12' x 12' rectangle shade sail is a breathable HDPE canopy that blocks up to 95% of UV rays to cool and protect outdoor spaces.
This 12 by 12 foot rectangular shade sail from SUNNY GUARD is crafted from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to deliver durable sun protection without trapping heat. Its one-piece construction avoids splicing seams, and the open weave lets air circulate so shaded areas stay more comfortable. The sail is sold with thickened ropes and is compatible with optional stainless steel mounting hardware for longer life and stronger anchoring.
How much sun protection will this shade sail provide?

What are the installation and sizing considerations?

- Recommended 0.5–1 ft clearance at each anchor for tensioning.
- Finished dimensions tolerance: approximately ±4 inches.
