Constructed from 100% new HDPE fabric without splices, the sail resists sun degradation and lets air pass through to reduce heat buildup. The product ships with thickened ropes and fits many mounting setups; optional stainless steel hardware from SUNNY GUARD is recommended for long-term tensioning and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much sun protection does the 16' triangle sail provide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric rating is designed to block up to 95% of harmful ultraviolet rays and most direct sunlight, helping reduce glare and surface heating beneath the canopy.
