Limitless Adaptability

Shade sails adaptability

We can design and install various shapes to suit your preferences. Square shade sails and triangle shade sails are very popular, but we can design any shape to suit your architecture and style.

02

Fit Your Existing Structure

Shade sails fit structure

Your shade sail installation should complement your architecture. Our sail shades can be installed as attachments to your building or free standing. These provide a cost-effective alternative to more expensive window alterations.

03

Block Harmful UV Rays

Shade sails blocks harmful uv

One of the top reasons to add a shade sail is to add UV protection for an area. This could be important for a seating area, museums, or even offices with large glass walls. The shade sails will act as a sun shade without stopping all the natural light.

04

Engineered for Quality

Shade sails engineered for quality

Every sail shade installation is unique, but our quality is always consistent. We use heavy duty fixing points and top quality fabrics to prevent sagging. This helps each shade sail keep its shape, especially those with curved sides.

Questions People Ask About Our Shade Sails

Can you install a garden sail?

Every installation is bespoke, so we would be happy to talk with you about your outdoor space. We can help you with waterproof sail shades, patio shade sails, and other designs. Our products can be used year round in strong winds and bad weather. We may also be able to advise you on whether a shade sail is the best choice for your patio space or garden. We offer a wide range of outdoor products, so an awning, canopy, or pergola may be a better choice for you.

Will garden sails withstand harsh weather conditions?

Good quality products will be water resistant and can be left out, even in the winter months. Most sails are made from canvas or a durable synthetic fabric. These are perfectly suitable for year round use, even in difficult weather.

How big can a sail shade be?

We’ve installed multiple sail shades to cover areas bigger than 200 m2. We can do this by using a combination of individual shade sail sizes and shapes. In fact, the main advantage for using our products is the range of sizes, colours, and designs you can combine to create the perfect sun shade sail for your area.

Are shade sails worth it?

Shade sails are a great way to match your personal preference for design with a solution that will provide shade from the sun and keep everyone cool. If awnings, blinds, and retractable window coverings are not feasible, then a shade sail may give you the best value for protecting an area from the summer sun.
