SUNSAIL ATTACHMENT TYPES
Lay down your sail loosely on the ground between the determined
attachment points.
Begin with the first sunsail corner and attach it with your chosen at-
tachment device. (The tensioning device still must be loose). Proceed
in the same way with each sunsail corner. Make sure that the sunsail
is in the middle of the attachment points. Small direction discrepan-
cies can very quickly lead to wrinkling.

Design advice
When the attachment points
are on different levels (height
difference: 0,5 – 3m) the
concave modern lines and
clear forms of the interior de-
sign elements “Sunsail” are
brought to the fore.
So that a Soliday sunsail obtains its shape, it is necessary to optimally
tension the sunsail between the attachment points.
The classic Soliday sunsail has a concave cutting of the side edges and
is delivered with an integrated belt strap. On the sunsail corners there
are belt strap loops, resp. D-rings. The sunsails are manufactured in
such a way, that they show the ordered measurements (up to max. 4%)
in the finished tensioned condition. A sail is measured from the outer-
most point of the corner and delivered. (Belt strap loop to belt strap
loop, resp. D-ring to D-ring). The concavely manufactured side edges
grant an optimal tensioning of the sunsail.
BEWARE
If the sail is additionally planned as weather protection, resp. for long
term use, pay attention to the sail inclination of at least 15 degrees.
Rainwater must be able to drain off. Pay attention that no water bulges
can form – the sail can be damaged permanently. (To be considered with
the Soliday sunsail made of the material Austronet as well.)
FOR CHECKING PURPOSES
Squirt water with a garden hose onto the sunsail and check the optimal
water drainage.
