The Shade Sail Triangle VidaXL in red is a triangular outdoor sunshade made from Oxford fabric with dimensions 5 x 7 x 7 m. Its breathable woven construction provides UV protection while allowing air circulation, helping to reduce perceived temperature below the sail. The design accommodates mounting between posts, walls or pergolas when used with suitable fixings and tensioning hardware.
Advantages
The Oxford fabric combines durability with a lightweight feel, offering resistance to daily outdoor exposure and basic wear. The triangular shape allows flexible placement and shade coverage over irregular spaces. UV-protective and breathable material reduces direct sunlight and heat while maintaining airflow to improve comfort in patios, terraces and garden seating areas.
Suitable for
- Covering patios, terraces and balconies
- Providing shade for outdoor dining and seating areas
- Protecting play areas and garden furniture from sunlight
- Temporary shade solutions for events or market stalls
When it may not be suitable
This shade sail is intended for sun protection rather than full weatherproofing; it will not provide complete shelter from heavy rain or snow. Installation requires secure anchor points and correct tensioning; it may not be suitable where proper fixing hardware or stable mounting structures are not available.
Key specifications
- Shape: Triangle
- Material: Oxford fabric (breathable woven construction)
- Colour: Red
- Dimensions: 5 x 7 x 7 metres
- Features: UV protection, breathable design
How to use
Select three secure anchor points such as posts, walls or pergola beams positioned to accommodate the triangular geometry. Attach suitable outdoor fixings and tensioning hardware to each corner of the sail and gradually tension the fabric to achieve a taut, sloped surface that sheds light precipitation. Periodically check anchor points, tension and fabric condition and loosen or remove the sail in strong winds, heavy rain or during winter to prolong service life.
What to consider before purchase
- Measure the intended area and verify that a 5 x 7 x 7 m triangle provides the desired coverage and clearance.
- Check that you have appropriate mounting points and compatible fixings or plan to install posts.
- Consider local weather patterns — the sail is designed for sun protection and light rain but not for heavy snow loads or prolonged storms.
- Confirm colour and maintenance needs for outdoor fabric in your location.
Usage recommendations
For best results, install the shade sail at an angle to allow water runoff, use stainless-steel or corrosion-resistant fittings, and remove or loosen the sail during severe weather. Regularly clean with mild soap and water and store dry when not in use to extend fabric life.
