A shade sail is a large piece of high-quality reinforced fabric stretched over a patio or other outdoor area, designed to provide welcome shade in summer and protection from rain in less comfortable weather. Shade sails are usually supported by a wall at one side and by one or more secure posts at the other, giving the material enough tension to form a stable cover over your outdoor space.
Great company!! Very cordial and professional. Project was quoted out, dates were given and everything was followed up with. Any modifications that we had made, they were more than happy to accommodate all of our needs and left everything clean once they were done. Best of all, they had the lowest price of all of our quotes.

A shade sail makes a valuable addition to an outdoor space. Here are some of the most popular types of shade sails for both residential and commercial properties.
Fixed shade sails, also known as permanent shade sails, are popular in residential and commercial settings. These shade sails can be fixed directly to a structure or supported by aluminum posts. These shade sails can be designed at just about any size and shape you’d require, and because they are made from fabric, they can be created in a wide range of colors.
A retractable shade sail is similar to a fixed shade sail, except the sail can be opened and closed on demand. This makes it easy to enjoy the shade on the hottest days while folding back when you want to get a little sun or save some space when it’s not needed. These shade sails are popular in backyards, restaurants, and outdoor retail areas.
Playground shade sails are specially designed to cover parks and playgrounds. While very similar to fixed shade sails, the most significant difference is typically their size and use. Designed as freestanding structures to shade specific playground equipment or big sections of a play area, these are one of the most affordable ways to transform the place your kids play.

Not sure if a shade sail is suitable for your property? Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we receive from clients about these products.
Shade sails are available in various woven fabrics using natural and synthetic materials. If you want rain protection, choose a water-repellent sail fabric. Alternatively, selecting a breathable canvas will help stop hot air from building up under the sail, although it will offer less protection against rain.
If you love to spend time in your yard but find the summer sun too harsh, a shade sail is an effective way to stay cooler. A shade sail is worth the relatively small investment if it means getting more enjoyment from your property during the summer.
Commercial-grade shade sails can be left up all year but should be taken down if there’s a risk of particularly severe wind or a hurricane warning.
Shade sail materials are available in two main types: waterproof fabrics that keep out light-to-moderate rain and breathable fabrics that help keep the air underneath the shade cooler.
The cost of a shade sail depends mainly on its size and fabric type, with different materials costing different amounts per square foot. However, larger sails can be more expensive by area than smaller ones, as they’ll generally need sturdier and more costly fittings to support the extra weight.
Most shade sails are either triangular, square, or rectangular in shape. Triangle sails provide less shade than the other two types but are easier to fit into smaller or unusually shaped spaces. Our design team can work with you to choose the size and shape of the sail that gives you the shade you need for your situation.
Your choice of color depends on personal preference and how it will fit into the rest of your home or store’s design. However, consider that darker colors absorb more UV rays, which can improve a sail’s cooling performance compared to lighter-colored fabrics.
