Are you looking for a way to make your commercial outdoor spaces usable, rain or shine?  Installing waterproof shade sails is a cost-effective and dependable way to add shade and protection from the elements. These sails are made with premium fabrics, so you can count on them for year-round coverage of your patio or garden. And because they're custom-made, you can have them tailored to fit your specific needs and enhance your property's value, all while maintaining a beautiful aesthetic and providing ample shelter.

Protect against the sun, rain, and wind.

Look for high-quality shade sails made from PVC so they stand up to the elements (even torrential downpours). They should be completely leak-proof for reliable protection. The best shade sails are usually self-cleaning — that is, their surface is designed to allow rainwater to wash away dirt and debris.

If you need shade sails that block 99% of the sun's harmful UV rays, look for high-density polyethylene with UV additives. This quality shade solution will either absorb or reflect UV rays. Shade cloths with a monofilament weave for longevity are also recommended. The best quality shades can last up to 30 years while covered by a warranty that lasts up to 15 years.

Customised for your requirements

Choose a supplier that can carefully design waterproof shade sails based on your needs and offers a thorough site inspection. This allows a draughtsperson to analyse your location's specific characteristics (including its 3D geometry and overall shape) to ensure that the sails fit perfectly.  The installation team should prioritise secure post-placement and accurate measurements for a reliable and long-lasting result.

Consider retractable shade sails if you need added flexibility.  A reputable supplier can configure them for electronic operation so that you can easily adjust coverage and maintain comfort on your patio or garden throughout the year. This feature is particularly suitable for restaurants and cafes because it effectively expands usable outdoor space.

Quality materials

Make sure that the shade sails use the finest architectural fabrics and exceptionally durable steel. They should have steel coatings to align with site-specific conditions. The fabrics should be tested to AS1530 Parts 2 & 3 for reliable fire performance.
