Shade Sails are made of high density polyethylene shade cloth that is especially manufactured with tensioned fabric structures in mind. The knit is made using monofilament and tape filler. The fabric is treated with a UV stabilizers to give it long life in direct sunlight.
Depending on color, the average shade rating is approx. 90%, and the UVR block is approx. 95%.
Each Sail is manufactured with a stainless steel cable double locked stitched into its perimeter. This cable terminates at a stainless steel ring located at each corner. These rings are then used to fasten the sail to a hard point either on a post or existing structure.
Each corner is further reinforced with extra layers of cloth and strapping to distribute forces. All stitching is performed using a locking stitch; outdoor UV stabalized thread is used throughout. The size of the stainless cable and rings as well as attachment hardware are engineered to be the appropriate size for each sail and application.
The perimeter of each sail has a catenary curve designed into it that controls the fabric tension in the center of the sail. Therefore, when tension is placed on the perimeter cable, the fabric will have uniform tension.
They do not sag or flap in the wind.
Sails can be attached to existing structures with a variety of common or custom made brackets and hardware. They can also be supported by their own columns made of either timber or steel pipe. We prefer to use galvanized steel pipe embedded in concrete footings. The dimensions of the pipe and the footings are engineered for each sail and its application depending on the size of the sail and the expected wind loading. The columns can then be powder coated or painted to help protect them and provide the desired color. If timber posts are used, then we generally use temporary power poles with a preservative added to the wood.
Depending on local building codes and engineer’s requirements we tie the concrete and post with a welded foot plate. In general, there is very little gravitational load, but uplift is the concern, and footings can be quite deep.

Custom designed and manufactured shade sail systems are suitable for commercial and residential applications. Our shade sails are creatively designed and engineered to suit our client requirements.
Our goal is to provide adequate shade protection at affordable prices and to achieve: - A visual element that either enhances the project with a beautiful, artistic visual impact or
- One that blends in with the surrounding structure or landscaping with little or no visual impact.
Only the best materials are used in our custom shade structures. Most UV stabilized HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) shade fabrics carry an 8 to 10 year manufacturer's limited warranty against UV degradation. This means most structures should last a minimum of 15 to 20 years under normal conditions.
A SHADE SAIL IS THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR YOU IF ... - Your entertainment areas, like decks, barbecues and patios, are places where you want to relax from the sun and heat.
- Your curtains or blinds need to be drawn to protect precious furnishings and rugs from sun's fading rays.
- There are special plants that need shelter from the sun.
- Your children have a pool or sand pit they want to enjoy during the sun's burning hours.
- The sun makes an outside area too hot to be enjoyed, or you have to move indoors to avoid sunburn.
- Your outside areas are overlooked by neighbours, and you require some privacy.
Ideally, you should plan to order in the months prior to summer, so that it can be supplied and installed ready for those days of hot sunshine.
