A shade sail is an innovative and attractive way to protect you and your family
from the sun’s potentially harmful rays. Blocking out 99% of UVA and 90% of
UBV rays, you can be sure that buying a sun shade is an efficient and worthwhile
purchase.

Far more effective than a standard parasol, the special material of the shade sail
actually reduces the temperature beneath by raising the heat upwards, providing
a cool and more comfortable place to enjoy the summer.

With different shapes, sizes and colours there is something for everyone. The shade sail is simply attached to existing structures or to poles fitted in appropriate
locations. Shade sails are weatherproof – durable in strong winds and against
harsher elements like rain and hail. This means that shade sails can be up and
usable all year around, shielding you and your family from all that the skies can
offer!

Since shade sails don’t absorb water they are unaffected by mould or mildew,
making them perfect to shade your pool area, or a children’s paddling area.
