1. Understanding the basics of the fabric

The first thing you need to do is get a clear understanding about the basics of the waterproof fabric you will be using for the installation of the shade sail. For instance, if you look at the normal fabric, you will see that the meshes are intricate but form holes in between. These pores might have very meager length, but they are large enough to allow the rainwater to pass through. Hence, such fabrics are not ideal for resisting the water. In the waterproof shade sail fabric, the meshes are tightly woven, leaving no gap in between.
