Shade Sails and Shade Structures Brisbane

Everything You Need To Know To Get An Expert Shade Solution

Shade Sail Installation, Waterproof Shade Sails, Outdoor Umbrellas Brisbane

Are you looking for a shade sail, shade structure or giant shade umbrella that looks great AND lasts for years? A shade solution that doesn't fade, sag or fray, like so many sails you see at other homes, parks, shopping centres and local schools? Like many things you begin to research, when you start learning about shade products, you may discover there's more than meets the eye. Critical things like...

  • Position and design of your sail or shade structure: Get this wrong and you won't actually get the shade result you were looking for. This is the number one thing that frustrates many shade sail owners
  • Type and colour of fabric: Forget technical specifications - you need to know how different fabrics perform in the 'real' world (not under laboratory test conditions)
  • Type of thread and how it is stitched: Make the wrong choice here and your sail could literally unravel in as little as 3 years.
  • Corner construction and reinforcement: If your sail doesn't have these 3 critical design features in the corners it may rip to shreds in the first decent breeze
  • Cabling system: There are as many as 5 different types of cables and 2 cabling systems. The wrong choice will most certainly shorten the life of your sail
  • Posts and fixings: The number one cause for sagging sails. And the biggest risk to compound damage including collapsed walls, lose brickwork, broken roof frames, and ongoing leaks
