Sun Sail Triangle Shade VidaXL Oxford Fabric 3.5x3.5x4.9 m - UV Protection Outdoor Canopy

Triangle sun sail from VidaXL made of Oxford fabric, measuring 3.5 x 3.5 x 4.9 m. This outdoor canopy is designed to provide shaded areas on patios, terraces, gardens and by pools. The textile has weather-resistant properties and offers UV protection, enabling temporary or semi-permanent installation where reduction of direct sunlight and improved outdoor comfort are required.

Advantages

The VidaXL triangle sun sail combines a lightweight Oxford fabric construction with a triangular geometry that allows versatile mounting options and effective sun blocking. Its water-repellent and wind-tolerant textile reduces solar heat and UV exposure, while the modest size makes it suitable for medium-scale outdoor spaces. The design supports straightforward attachment points for posts, walls or trees and can be removed or repositioned seasonally.

Suitable for

• Patios and terraces where partial sun shading is needed
• Garden seating areas and outdoor dining spaces
• Poolside shade to reduce sun exposure
• Temporary event or market stalls requiring overhead cover

When it may not be suitable

This sun sail is not intended as a permanent roof replacement; prolonged exposure in extreme weather (heavy snow loads, sustained high winds) may damage the fabric or mounting points. It provides partial shading rather than complete blackout and is not designed for full rainproof shelter during heavy downpours.

Key specifications

• Shape: Triangular
• Material: Oxford fabric (weather-resistant textile)
• Dimensions: 3.5 x 3.5 x 4.9 metres
• Function: UV protection and sun shading
• Suitable installation: Temporary or semi-permanent outdoor mounting

How to use

Choose three secure anchor points such as posts, wall brackets or sturdy tree branches arranged to match the triangle dimensions. Unfold the sail, align corners with the anchors and tension the fabric to prevent sagging; use suitable hardware (turnbuckles, carabiners, pad eyes) rated for outdoor loads. Allow a slight slope for water runoff and check tension periodically. For seasonal storage, clean according to fabric care instructions, dry completely and store in a dry place to prolong service life.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure available anchor distances to confirm compatibility with the 3.5 x 3.5 x 4.9 m triangular layout
• Verify suitable mounting points and hardware rated for outdoor use and local wind loads
• Decide whether a temporary or semi-permanent installation meets local weather conditions

Usage recommendations

Inspect attachment points and fabric condition regularly, especially after storms. Use UV-rated mounting hardware and avoid overtensioning; maintain a slope for drainage. For winter or prolonged storms consider removing and storing the sail to extend its usable life.
