Shade cloth AWTools AW67302 — 1.6 kg lightweight garden sun shade

AWTools AW67302 — 1.6 kg lightweight garden sun shade is a polyester shade cloth with a PU coating designed to provide solar protection for gardens, patios, terraces and greenhouses. The fabric is waterproof, fade- and stain-resistant and engineered to reflect UV radiation with SPF 30+ performance. The sail includes a steel buckle at each corner, strong stitched seams, a curved edge for easier tensioning and a mounting rope for quick installation. Its construction lowers temperature beneath the cloth while allowing air circulation to reduce heat and glare.

Advantages

The polyurethane-coated polyester offers waterproofing while remaining breathable, preventing mould formation. UV-reflective surface and SPF 30+ protection reduce harmful sun exposure and protect plants, furniture and outdoor equipment. Reinforced corners with steel buckles and durable stitched seams improve stability and longevity. The lightweight design (1.6 kg) and included mounting rope make the product easy to handle and install on frames, pergolas or temporary supports.

How to use

Unfold the shade cloth and identify the corners with steel buckles. Position the sail above the area to be shaded and attach the buckles to secure anchor points such as posts, pergola beams or a frame. Use the included mounting rope to tie the corners and tension the curved edges to remove sagging; ensure even tension across all corners for proper drainage and wind resistance. For temporary installations, attach to removable supports and check fixings periodically. To clean, wipe with a mild detergent and rinse with water; allow to dry fully before storage.

Usage recommendations

Install the shade sail with slight slope for water runoff, avoid constant tension against sharp edges, and remove or reduce tension in extreme winds. Store dry to maintain the PU coating and prevent dirt accumulation. Regularly inspect seams, buckles and ropes for wear and replace damaged parts to preserve functionality and safety.
