Observations
Here at La Scourtinerie, the shade sails are exposed to bad weather all year round for several seasons now. Over time, we observe a color modification, especially on the side exposed to the sun (above). Depending on the exposure conditions, our shade sails may turn pale or grey (same as wood exposed under similar conditions).
Strong sun and wind can lead to fiber loss which then leads to the weaving thickness gradual diminution, and therefore impact the shade sail efficiency. This becomes apparent after several years though and the shade sails wintering allows them to last longer. Note that the quality of the shade sail remains optimal in the first 2 years.
Please note that snow can significantly increase the sail’s weight and lead to, either a collapse of the supporting structure (pergola), or a rope breach regarding the suspended shade sails. In such situation, wintering is highly recommended, if not required.
As a general rule, to maximize your shade sail’s life, and whenever possible, we advise you to store it in a dry, rodent-free place.
CAUTION : We’ve noticed that rain can sometimes cause the natural tannins in the coconut fiber to bleed, so be careful with the white tiles and fabrics on your terrace. We therefore recommend that you rinse your shade sail with plenty of water when you receive it, then leave it to dry before installing it. Repeat the operation several times if necessary.
Delivery time
The average delivery time (in France) for our shade sails is 2 to 5 working days.

Made from natural coconut fibers, our products provide optimal sun protection while adding a touch of elegance to your outdoor space.

Even if they are not waterproof, they can withstand years of all weather and repeated rain. Our shade cloths will allow you to create and fully enjoy a cozy outdoor space in the garden, on your balcony or terrace. The beige/brown/sand color of the coconut fits perfectly into the landscape with a natural and timeless style.
The triangle-shaped shade sail is an ideal version for a less classic style. For effective protection, you can install several triangles to fill a more “complicated” space or one with a less conventional shape (with the presence of tree branches for example). For good wind resistance, this model requires 3 fixing points, either wall-mounted or with our ropes to tree branches, posts or masts (not supplied). Installation or disassembly is quick and easy.
