SHADE SAILS

Shade sails are a way of providing comfortable shade in modern landscapes. Each sail is a strip of fabric that’s been specially-designed to withstand an incredible amount of pressure. Each sail is mounted to steel posts and tightened so it won’t flap or move even in wind speeds as high as 100 mph.

WHEN TO CHOOSE A SHADE SAIL

PLACEMENT AND DESIGN

We start the process by running a string along the areas where you’re considering a shade sail, to see where the shadow falls. This way, you can make sure the shade sails will cast shade on the patio or window areas that are currently too hot.

SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED suggests having about 4-6’ of difference between one side of the shade sail and the other as this allows the sail to shed the wind.

In addition, if you’re using more than one sail, having a bigger height difference between each one looks more modern.

As for color, we suggest sticking with neutral tones. Over time, certain colors can go out of style, but neutrals always look good. That’s not to say that a carefully-chosen palette can’t work, but since quality shade sails are guaranteed for over 10 years, make sure you won’t tire of the theme.

WHEN NOT TO USE A SHADE SAIL

COST OF SHADE SAILS

Shade sail costs & prices vary. Most residential installations use two or three sails to get good shade coverage and a crisp, modern look.

Don’t fall for cheap, ready-made shade sails. You can’t expect a cheap product to hold up as well as something that’s engineered by SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED and built to last.
