Sun Sail Triangle Shade vidaXL Oxford Fabric 5 x 5 x 6 m Red

Triangle sun sail vidaXL Oxford Fabric 5 x 5 x 6 m Red is a triangular outdoor shade made from Oxford fabric sized to cover patios, terraces and garden seating areas. The 5 x 5 x 6 m dimensions form an asymmetrical triangle that enables multiple mounting configurations. The fabric reduces direct sunlight and offers seasonal UV screening while creating a defined shaded zone for relaxation or play.

Advantages

The Oxford fabric construction provides a balance of durability and lightweight handling. Its triangular geometry allows flexible tensioning between three anchor points, enabling adjustments for sun angle and spatial layout. The product is easy to fold and store during the off-season and its red colour helps define outdoor design accents without heavy structural installation.

Suitable for

• Shading small to medium terraces, patios and balconies
• Creating a shaded play area in gardens
• Temporary shade for outdoor dining or seating
• Seasonal sun protection for pergolas and awnings

When it may not be suitable

This sun sail is intended for seasonal and temporary installations rather than permanent roofing. It is not a load-bearing structure and should not be used where heavy snow accumulation or sustained high wind loads are expected. For year-round, permanent shelters or large-span covered areas, a purpose-built rigid structure is more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Shape: Asymmetrical triangle
• Material: Oxford fabric
• Dimensions (approx.): 5 x 5 x 6 metres
• Colour: Red
• Typical mounting: Three anchor points (hooks, poles or walls)
• Intended use: Outdoor seasonal sun shading and UV screening

How to use

Select three secure anchor points arranged to match the triangular geometry. Attach each corner of the sail using appropriate hardware such as turnbuckles, stainless steel carabiners or approved mounting brackets, and tension the fabric evenly to avoid sagging. Angle and height can be adjusted to optimise shade coverage as sun position changes. Remove and store the sail during severe weather or winter to prolong fabric life.

What to consider before purchase

• Available mounting points and the distance between anchors
• Local weather conditions, especially wind and snow load expectations
• Required hardware for attachment (turnbuckles, posts, wall anchors)
• Colour and size suitability for intended outdoor area

Usage recommendations

Use corrosion-resistant fittings and ensure all anchors are rated for outdoor loads. Tension the sail to prevent water pooling and check fixtures periodically for wear. Store the sail dry in a ventilated place when not in use to extend fabric life.
