Shade Sail Cloths Explained

 

What are shade sail cloths?

Shade sail cloths are shelter covers commonly used in outdoor spaces to offer shade and block harmful UV rays from the sun. They are mostly used in gardens, patios, pool decks, and greenhouses. Shade sail cloths have various designs, colors, and sizes to suit your preference.

Factors to consider when choosing shade sail cloths

The type and function

Shade sails are constructed using different fabrics such as nylon, high-density polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride. They also take various shapes such as triangles, rectangles, and squares. It's upon you to decide the type of shade sail you prefer to meet your needs.

Weather resistance

A good shade sail offers maximum sun-blocking power to block UV radiates from the sun. The fabric from which the shade sail is made determines the degree of resistance to harsh weather. A shade sail should be highly resistant to rain, wind, and heat.

Installation

Before buying your shade sail, it is advisable to measure the space you intend to cover. Leave out some space for the turnbuckles. Triangle and rectangle shade sails should be installed in a slanted position to avoid collecting water.

Ensure you get a shade sail that is easy to install from a reputable company that offers quality products.
