Shade sails are an original and trendy alternative to classic awnings
The shade sail is an elegant and contemporary sun protection solution for terraces, balconies, patios, swimming pools, car parks, playgrounds and more. Airy and light as a boat sail, it protects from harmful UV rays and heat while creating or enhancing the aesthetics of your home.
Mounting your shade sail
Unlike traditional folding-arm awnings, the shade sail can be used in narrower, more confined spaces or areas with a large space without necessarily needing to be mounted on a load-bearing wall. If you decide to attach part of your sail to an anchor wall, you will need to use posts and wall fixtures. If you do not have a bearing support, use wooden, steel or aluminum poles.
Choosing your shade sail
Shade sails are available in rectangular, triangular, square, hexagonal, octagonal and other forms to choose according to the characteristics of the space to protect. It consists of a fabric and stainless-steel fixings and metal parts to prevent rusting.
