Sun sail triangle VidaXL 5x5x6 m, Oxford fabric, yellow

The Sun sail triangle VidaXL 5x5x6 m, Oxford fabric, yellow is a triangular shade sail designed to create shaded outdoor areas. Made from Oxford fabric, the 5x5x6 m sail is intended to reduce direct sunlight, solar heat and glare over gardens, patios, terraces or seating zones. It is provided in yellow and has three reinforced corners for attachment to posts, walls or other fixed points to form a protective canopy.

Advantages

This triangular sun sail offers a lightweight yet durable Oxford fabric construction that resists daily sun exposure and provides reliable UV shading. Its sizeable 5x5x6 m coverage allows flexible positioning to maximize shaded surface. The triangular shape enables installation in non-linear layouts and can be tensioned between three anchor points to achieve the desired pitch and drainage. The yellow color contributes visual warmth to outdoor spaces while remaining functional for sun protection.

Suitable for

• Shading patios, terraces and decks
• Creating covered areas over garden seating or dining spaces
• Reducing solar heat and glare in play areas or poolside zones
• Temporary or seasonal sun protection for outdoor events

When it may not be suitable

This product is intended primarily for sun shading and limited weather protection; it is not designed to be a fully waterproof roof or to withstand prolonged heavy snowfall or hurricane-force winds. For permanent roofing, heavy snow loads, or extreme weather conditions a more rigid, load-bearing structure and specialist materials are recommended.

Key specifications

• Shape: Triangle
• Dimensions: 5 x 5 x 6 metres
• Fabric: Oxford fabric
• Color: Yellow
• Attachment: Three reinforced corner points for mounting
• Primary function: UV shading and reduction of solar heat and glare

How to use

Select three solid anchor points placed to provide the intended slope and tension for water runoff. Attach each corner of the sun sail to posts, walls or dedicated anchor fittings using appropriate shackles or turnbuckles (not included) and tension the fabric evenly to avoid sagging. Adjust the height at each corner to create a slight pitch so rainwater runs off rather than pools. Inspect the installation periodically and loosen or retension as needed; remove or lower the sail in severe weather to prevent damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the available installation area and mounting point distances to confirm the 5x5x6 m triangle will fit and provide the desired shade.
• Check the strength and suitability of anchor points (posts, walls, beams) and choose compatible fixing hardware rated for outdoor use.
• Decide whether seasonal removal is necessary in your climate to prevent weather-related wear.

Usage recommendations

The sun sail performs best when installed with proper tension, a slight pitch for drainage and corrosion-resistant fittings. Regularly inspect seams and attachment points, clean according to fabric care guidance, and store the sail dry when not in use for extended periods to prolong service life.
