Shade sails

Shade sails suit pools, courtyards, patios, play areas and garden seating where overhead shade is needed without enclosing the space. Their tensioned form creates a light architectural feature while protecting the area below from harsh sunlight.

Planning details

Coverage shape

Tension and drainage

Correct angles keep the fabric tensioned and allow rainwater to run away.

Site assessment

Measurements, sun direction and structural supports guide the final installation.
