8 • Shade sail inclination

Sails, especially the waterproof one, must have an inclination in order to guarantee the correct drainage of water and thus avoid the formation of pockets which could deform the sail. The recommended slope is at least 25% of the length of the sloping side

9 • How to tension a shade sail

Saill/Solaria sails are manufactured with an innovative and extremely efficient tensioning system. The perimeter straps are attached to the corner plates by adjustable buckles.

  • By releasing the tension on the perimeter strapsthe tension reaches the centre of the sail.
  • By increasing the tension on the straps, the centre of the sail receives less tension.

Practical example: the centre of the sail is under tension, the sail is "bulging". In this case, loosen the perimeter straps and relax the corners of the sail. The tension will now be directly in the centre of the sail.

11 • Maintenance

Pour que la voile puisse durer plus longtemps, il est recommandé de la démonter pendant l'hiver, de la laver, de bien la sécher et de la stocker dans un endroit sec. Les voiles peuvent être nettoyées avec des détergents neutres, laissées agir quelques minutes puis rincées abondamment. Pour enlever les taches ou les marques, on peut travailler sur la zone avec des brosses très douces afin de ne pas endommager le tissu. La version imperméable peut être lavée en machine jusqu'à 40°.
