Which Sail Shape Is The Best?

When choosing a shade sail shape, you must always consider the functionality, benefits and location of the installation. However, at the end of the day, it will still come down to your personal preference.

Both square and rectangular shade sails have a similar purpose and benefits given the fact that both shapes are almost similar. This kind of shade sails is best for bigger areas as it provides a wider coverage compared to the triangular option.

Square and rectangle shade sails vary from sizes where you can even request a custom size based on the area you wanted to cover. If you opt for larger shade sails, you should have sturdy fixing points to ensure that the structures can withstand the weight of the shade sail.

The rule of the thumb when installing a large shade sail is to bury the poles at least four feet to ensure that it will not fall but the deeper the better.

If you opt for a square or rectangular shade sail, it is best to install it in a hypar layout to increase the tension and avoid sagging and ballooning up. The hypar design will also help the rainwater slide down instead of accumulating in the centre of the shade sail. Additionally, the hypar design will also increase the longevity of the sail.

Hypar sail layout can also provide a nice style in your outdor space which is why most people also opt for this layout.

Be Creative

What is nice about shade sail is that you can combine multiple shapes, colour and sizes depending on how you wanted the entire area to look. You can check various layouts for installation designs and ideas. You can arrange the sail in rows or create an overlap to achieve a specific look that will complement the outdoor space that you have.

The unlimited options for shade sails are one of the reasons why most clients preferred it over other shade structures. It is recommended that before you purchase a sail and install it, you must first create a layout of your preferred design.

When doing a combination of multiple shapes and colours of shade sails, make sure that each of the characteristics complements each other as the whole design will turn out like a circus if it is not properly done.
