Questions & Answers about Square Coolhaven Shade Sail
How do I clean and maintain the Coolaroo ( Coolhaven / Party Sail / Premium ) HDPE sun sail fabric?
Use a leaf blower to blow off any leaves, acorns or other debris when visible. (Monthly) Use a garden hose to spray the shade sail and remove any loose dirt, dust, or debris. The breathable, knitted high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fabric allows water to pass through easily. For stubborn stuck on dirt, sap or grime, apply a mild dish soap or a gentle detergent mixed with water. Use a soft sponge, soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the affected areas, then rinse off all soap residue with the hose to prevent any buildup that could attract dirt over time. Always allow the fabric to fully dry after cleaning and before storing. Do not use any type of high pressure washer as it may damage the shade fabric.
Do not allow dirt to remain on the HDPE fabric. The fabric resists mold and midew quite well. But mold / mildew WILL grow on the dirt and its roots can then take hold and penetrate the HDPE fabric and discolor and/or damage the fabric.

Is the Coolhaven Shade Sail waterproof?
The Coolhaven Shade Sail by Coolaroo is not fully waterproof. It is a breathable, knitted HDPE fabric allows water to pass through to prevent pooling, but the material itself resists water absorption, dries quickly after rain, and is highly resistant to mold and mildew. While it provides excellent shade and UV protection, it does not create a waterproof barrier.

What is a shade sail, and how does it work?
A shade sail is a modern, tensioned fabric canopy that provides effective sun protection for any outdoor space. Inspired by a ship's sail, it is made from durable, UV-resistant materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or acrylic canvas. The sail is anchored, with about 150lbs of tension, at its corners to poles, walls, or other sturdy structures, creating a stable and wind-resistant cover. Known for their aesthetic appeal and versatility, shade sails are a popular solution for creating comfortable outdoor recreational environments in both residential and commercial settings, including patios, decks, pools, playgrounds, courtyards and dining areas.
