Does this sail have UV protection? What amount of sun does it block out? What is the weight of the fabric per square yard?

UV protection, 60~80%, not too heavy. Sorry I am a pro, the last Q you asked is the wrong Q. should go to factory site and ask them.

Yes it has UV protection! It blocks out more sun than it looks like it would! I absolutely love this cover!! Don't know the weight but it's not really heavy! We covered our percula with it! Love it!

I'm not sure about the actual UV Rays, but it does create great shade. We bought a nice color rope to tie it up with. We're very very happy with this cover. Janet

Yes, this does have UV protection. We bought it for our hot tub cover, and it certainly keeps it shiny and supple. I use it in my vehicle on the dash, doors, & leather seats. We have been very pleased with this product! But...I have not used it on fabric.

Doesn't claim to block UV rays. I don't think that it has UV rays. It is a short blue light wavelength and is used for seasonal affective disorder or (SAD). People who get depressed or have less energy during the winter months when there is less sunlight often use these to decrease the SAD symptoms. I use it in the winter months and like it a lot.

The sun doesn't shine through .. I would recommend plants that do well in the shade for under the sail. I am not putting my sail up this year because it did not hang properly and sagged in the middle.

It does prevent oxidation. I have no idea about UV protection though. I used it on an application that is exposed to water every day, but is indoors.

Sorry I don't know either, it is very light weight and the same fabric used for wind breakers. I use it for making pullover wind breakers for my husband.

No I dont think it does. I think it is just the fabric itself that has some measure of UV protection. I have had some of these us for 5 or 6 summers now and they are holding up well - and the UV here in Albuquerque (mile high altitude) are intense. They block most, but not all, sunlight which would leave plenty to grow anything here, even say flowers.

Yes, I got our mounting hardware (3 turnbuckles, 3 eye hole screws, 3 carabiners) from a hardware store for less than the mounting kit they sell on Amazon. As far as UV rays I couldn't say. It does provide some nice shade. Hope this helps.

I'm from Arizona. And nothing can protect you from the sun there. This cover is for a boat in florida. It keeps alot of the sun out but when I pick it up I can see inside it is not blacked out. Hope it helps.

They make a rectangular version that would serve your purpose better than the triangular party sail. I will need to purchase a rectangular version as well since the triangle didn't effectively block low afternoon sun. However whatever version u choose will certainly be more attractive than a tarp and will also allow air to flow through. Use snap locks to attach to dog run.

The specs say that is has UV protection however I am unsure how to tell exactly.

The rain will come through. Not as bad as it would without it. We bought furniture covers for ours. I do love this shade sail though! It is very well made. Stands up to strong wind and gives the right amount of shade and lets some air through so its not completely blocking the breeze. After using this one we also bought a 24 x 24 from the same company. These are great!!

It's supposed to block 95% of UV rays. The Shade Sail comes with large D rings at the corners and 3 pieces of nylon rope. I just hammered a couple of nails into the face of my front porch to hook two of the D rings and tied two pieces of the rope together to tie the 3rd end to a Palm Tree

The sail is not perfectly square. The corners flare out slightly, leaving each side with a gentle curve. I am very happy with the sail. It is not rain "proof". Unlike a canvas or plastic tarp, the sail will allow water to pass through. Most of the water will gravitate to the low point, so be careful about putting a planter under that point In a moderate rain it will take the brunt of the flow, while the rest of the sail will allow a "mist" to penetrate.

Depends on where you connect it. If you lanai has strong supports you will be okay if hooking to the corner supports I would suspect. One advantage of this type of sail is that it lets the air pass through it so it does not act like a sail but more of a screen. I am impresses with it and have used mine to cover a boat in florida. It is holding up great and has been in service over a year now. Hope this helps.

No it does not. Water and air pass through, it provides about 90% uv protection and shade.
