Garden Shade Sail VidaXL 2.5x2.5 m Square Oxford Fabric Yellow

The Garden Shade Sail VidaXL 2.5x2.5 m Square Oxford Fabric Yellow is a compact, square canopy designed to create a small shaded area outdoors. Made from woven Oxford fabric in a bright yellow tone, this 2.5 x 2.5 metre sail provides a lightweight, tensioned cover that can be mounted above patios, terraces, balconies or play areas to reduce direct sun exposure during seasonal use.

Advantages

The Oxford fabric construction offers a balance of breathability and basic UV shielding while remaining easy to handle for mounting and storage. Its square shape with reinforced corner mounting points simplifies installation and ensures even tension across the canopy. The product is lightweight, easy to move, and suitable for temporary or seasonal sun protection where a compact footprint is required.

Suitable for

• Creating shaded spots over small patios, balconies or terraces
• Providing sun cover for children’s play areas or garden seating
• Temporary or seasonal outdoor events and gatherings
• Areas where a light, easy-to-install canopy is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This shade sail provides basic UV protection but is not intended as a permanent architectural solution or for full UV block-out. It may not withstand prolonged exposure to extreme weather, heavy rain or strong winds without adequate tensioning and supportive fixtures. For year-round, fully waterproof or storm-resistant needs, a more robust, purpose-built shelter would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Shape: Square
• Dimensions: 2.5 x 2.5 metres
• Material: Oxford fabric (woven textile)
• Colour: Yellow
• Mounting: Reinforced corner attachment points for tensioned installation
• Weight/portability: Lightweight, suitable for easy mounting and seasonal use

How to use

Select four secure anchor points such as posts, walls or trees positioned to allow a tight, even tension across the 2.5 x 2.5 m sail. Attach the reinforced corners using appropriate fittings (carabiners, turnbuckles or rope) and gradually tension each corner to form a taut canopy. Ensure the sail is installed at a slight angle for water runoff and check tension periodically. Remove or lower the sail during storms or high winds to prevent damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm available mounting points and the distance between anchors to match the 2.5 m sides
• Decide on appropriate fixing hardware and whether additional tensioning devices are needed
• Understand that the sail offers basic UV protection and is intended for seasonal, lightweight use
• Consider storage space for the sail when not in use to prolong fabric life

Usage recommendations

For best results, install the VidaXL 2.5x2.5 m square shade sail with sturdy anchors and tensioning hardware, keep an installation angle to shed water, and remove the sail during severe weather. Inspect attachment points and fabric regularly to maintain safe, effective sun protection.
