Sun Sail Triangle Shade, VidaXL, model 135624 — Oxford fabric, triangular 4 x 5 x 6.4 m, yellow

The Sun Sail Triangle Shade by VidaXL is a triangular outdoor canopy crafted from durable Oxford fabric in yellow. With side lengths of 4 x 5 x 6.4 m, this triangular shade is intended to be tensioned between fixed mounting points to create a sheltered area that reduces direct sunlight, UV exposure and glare. The breathable fabric allows air circulation while providing a wide shaded footprint suitable for patios, terraces, gardens and other outdoor seating zones.

Advantages

This triangular sun sail offers a large continuous shaded area with a lightweight, easy-to-handle textile that resists everyday wear. The Oxford fabric provides dimensional stability and reasonable water resistance while remaining breathable to reduce heat buildup beneath the sail. Its triangular geometry makes it flexible to install between three attachment points at varying heights to create slope for rain runoff and tension for wind stability.

Suitable for

• Patios and terraces where a suspended shade is needed
• Garden seating areas and outdoor dining
• Play areas and small communal outdoor spaces
• Temporary sun protection for events or gatherings

When it may not be suitable

This product is not a fully waterproof canopy and prolonged heavy rain may pass through seams or collect if the sail is not installed with adequate slope and drainage. It is designed for tensioned installation; locations without secure mounting points or where anchors cannot be fitted may prevent correct use. For areas with frequent strong winds or severe weather, a more robust fixed shelter or retractable solution may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Shape: triangular
• Fabric: Oxford textile, yellow
• Side lengths: 4 m, 5 m, 6.4 m
• Protection: sun shading with UV reduction (fabric-dependent)
• Installation: tensioned between three fixing points
• Airflow: breathable construction to reduce heat buildup

How to use

Select three secure anchor points such as posts, walls or trees positioned to match the triangle dimensions. Fit appropriate hardware (D-rings, turnbuckles, pad eyes or snap hooks — not supplied unless stated) and attach each corner of the sail, tensioning progressively to achieve an even, sloped profile for water runoff. Adjust height differences between anchors to create the desired angle and to reduce ponding. Regularly inspect tensioning points and fabric for wear, and release tension before extreme weather or prolonged storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the available installation area and distance between potential anchor points to ensure compatibility with 4 x 5 x 6.4 m dimensions
• Check local wind and weather conditions and select appropriate fixings and mounting structures
• Decide whether additional hardware (turnbuckles, stainless steel fittings, posts) is required
• Consider maintenance needs: cleaning, drying before storage, and periodic inspection

Usage recommendations

For best performance mount the sail with at least one high and one low anchor to ensure slope; use corrosion-resistant fittings and retension after short settling periods. Remove or reduce tension in severe storms and allow the fabric to dry before storing to prolong service life.
