Questions that might arise after the purchase
1. YOUR SUNSAIL MEASUREMENT IS NOT IN
ACCORDANCE TO THE ORDERED MEASUREMENT?
You received your sunsail and the sunsail looks much smaller than
when you ordered it?
In order for the sunsail to keep its shape it is necessary to optimal-
ly tension the sunsail between the attachment points. Consider
that a sunsail is made of textile fabric and every sailcloth is stret-
ched under tension. A Soliday sunsail is cut and manufactured in
such a way, that even after many years of hard outdoor use it keeps
its shape. In order for this to be achieved, the sunsail has to be
re-tensioned every once in a while. Soliday already includes this
coefficient of expansion in the calculation. That means that upon
delivery the sunsail, depending on the fabric, can show up to mi-
nus 4 % of the original edge length. All Soliday sunsails are provi-
ded with a concave cut to achieve a perfect form with a minimum of
sagging. When tensioning the sail these concave lines are pulled
into straight lines to achieve the optimal form of the sail. During
this process the sail edges become longer again. Additionally, you
need space for the sail tensioning, resp. mounting between sail tip
and attachment point.
2. MEASURING METHOD TO VERIFY
THE MEASUREMENT OF THE SAIL
Spread the sail loosely…
The sunsail is measured
beginning from the outermost
point of the corner. This point
serves as attachment point
of the sail, resp. for further
attachment accessories.
Then the side
length is
tensioned and
measured under
tension. The
measuring tape
is positioned at
the outermost
point of the sail
corner- i.e. incl.
belt strap loop,
D-ring or carbine.
