You might probably be wondering if shade sails can withstand storms. Are you concerned that will you find them destroyed after a storm rolls through?

Whether you’re worried about thunderstorms or high winds, it’s important to understand how well shade sails will stand up. Maybe you’re considering a shade sail over your car, swimming pool, patio, paving or deck area. Let’s look at how well shade sails will perform during storms.

When figuring out your shade sail design and installation, you will want to think about the drainage and runoff, especially with large shade sails. Where possible allow 1 in 5 fall for water & debris runoff.  

With good quality shade sails, protection from hail can be achieved. Correct installation of both the fixing points for and Shades Sails becomes extremely important when installing shade sails to offer hail protection and we recommend consulting a Structural Engineer from SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED for advice on both angles and fixings required for your local weather conditions.

When the winds kick up during a storm, you don’t want to see your shade sails blowing down the road. You want them to stay put and do their job.

High-quality shade sails can withstand high winds and will stay in place if they are installed correctly. They are hard to break and can take a lot of pressure or weight before they actually break.

Some shade sails can even be custom-made to withstand high wind speed. If you’re in an area where high winds are common, consider getting the custom shade sails made for high wind areas.

Some shade sails are actually porous. These shade sails will let the wind through, which means they will remain sturdy through most storms. If you have waterproof shade sails, they will also withstand high winds, when installed properly.
