Our Shade Sails warranty lasts for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase, against defects or damages caused to the product due to faulty materials used in the manufacture of the product and/or faulty workmanship in the manufacture of the product. This warranty applies when the product is used under normal conditions and for its intended use. Shade Sails Canada only uses the highest grade shade cloth. Our standard sized sails, as well as our custom sized shade sails, are warranted for 15 years against UV degradation. In the event of a warranty claim, please contact Shade Sails Canada Inc, in writing, immediately on discovery of suspected product failure. Please note:

1. Since the customer is installing the sails, there is no warranty against any damages which may occur to the product due to improper handling of the product or improper installation procedures employed by the customer.

2. The customer is responsible for the obtaining of any engineering required and building, construction or installation permits that may be required for the sail installation site.

3. Shade Sails must be taken down in the fall to avoid the danger of damage from snow loads, and unless your shade sail project has been designed and engineered using custom made sails, as a permanent summer installation, your sails should be taken down during windy conditions.

When storing your sails be sure they are clean and dry and neatly folded. Store your sails in a dry place. Fly your sails again in the spring when you are certain there will be no more snow falls. And, when re-flying your Shade Sails remember they must be flown very taught to prevent wind damage and also to avoid drooping which may allow pooling of rainwater.
