Shade sails are a wonderful solution when wanting to make the most of our outdoor experiences, recognising the severity of NZ’s UV conditions.
Beyond civic park and playground settings, shade sails are a great way to provide outdoor shade and seating areas that protect your staff and customers from our wonderfully wild weather. You may choose been premium shade cloth and waterproof architectural PVC options.
They are a place to relax, entertain and socialise. In a commercial setting, a high quality shade sail represents a healthy commitment to well being of staff and patrons.
As an industry leader, Lidgard has been making shade sails in New Zealand for 20 years. Our motto: "Do it once, do it right!"
Highest Quality Fabrics offering the highest overall UV block out, dimensional stability and are fire retardant. For water proof shade sails, we use top quality, lightweight pre-tensioned architectural PVC materials.
UV stable PTFE Thread. Any other thread simply doesn't cut it.
Perimeter stainless steel wire. Our shade sails have stainless steel wire, crimped at each corner to support optimal tensioning of the shade sail, reducing the potential for sag in the belly of the shade.
Poles and fixings. Fundamental to a successful shade sail installation is knowing that whatever it is fixed to can support the load. Appropriate engineering is vital.
Our shade sail installations are rated to withstand wind forces up to a Strong Gale force.
All our shade sail fixings are made of marine grade 300-series stainless steel.
Each Lidgard shade sail enjoys a 5 year warranty on workmanship; a 10 year warranty on materials.
