Sun Shades & Shade Structures

Are sun sails cheaper than other types of shade structure?
Yes. In terms of cost per square foot, they are the most cost effective shade solution on the market.

Are sun sails as stable as other shade structures?
Yes. You don’t want your shade structure blowing in the time or collapsing in the middle. The tension force of the fabric keeps the sail tight across its surface. The perimeter of the structure curves slightly toward the center to help maintain tension. Meanwhile, the edges are reinforced by webbing that goes all around the perimeter of the shade. Stainless steel rings fasten to this webbing to evenly distribute tension all around. When mounted properly, fabric sail structures retain their shape in the wind without sagging, flapping, or wrinkling.

What are the benefits and features of sun sails?
There are benefits that directly relate to human health in the form of protection against skin cancer. Other benefits pertain to protection against property loss caused by heat buildup. Still others, such as comfort and peace of mind, are more less tangible, although by no means less important.

Just a few benefits of playground shade structures include:
  • Protect human and animal skin from the ultraviolet rays of the sun
  • Protects humans, pets and assets from heat damage
  • Sun sails can double function as protection against hail
  • Highly decorative sun shades create attraction factor for areas of interest
  • Can be mounted where full steel frame shade structures cannot be erected
  • Much more affordable than many other shade products
  • Can be used by homes, municipalities, schools, and businesses
  • Residential sun sail covers are easy to install
  • Designed to be maintenance free
  • Holds shape better than canvas and is resistant to mold and mildew
Where are sun sails used?
Sun sails are beautiful patio canopies and practical for a wide range of applications such as residences, swimming pools, auto dealers who want to highlight a special area of their store, parks, museums, etc. They can be adapted to awkward or unevenly shaped outdoor areas more readily than awnings, canopies or shade structures can be.

Companies can use sun sails as well to shelter employees who like to go outside on break. Parks use them to shelter picnic areas. Water parks use fabric sun shade structures as decorative covers over swimming pools. Many stores have mounted them over their entrances to attract and shelter customers with a flair of decorative protection. Parking areas can also be protected with sun sails so patrons do not have to touch hot steering wheels when they get into their vehicles to drive home.
