Building approval 

 

It is important to check prior to installation for any relevant  
building regulations with your local authorities (council).

The Coolaroo all weather sail has been tested and approved for 
installation in the following areas:

•  Terrain categories 2 (open country) and 3 (urban)

•  Regions A, B and C

In region D which covers the 50km wide strip of coastline between 20

°

and 25

°

S in Western Australia, the Coolaroo all weather sail must only  

be used in urban areas with shielded locations (i.e. adjacent to a building).
These conditions were tested on the fabric only. 

Before installing your all weather sail consider what your needs are. 
Factors which should be taken into account are:

•  Strength of existing structures intended to be anchor points

•  Ability to insert fixing posts

•  Location of barbecues

•  Sun direction

•   There could also be other factors, specific to your situation,  

which require consideration

Wind loads and resistance
