Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about our shade sails.

What are shade sails, and how do they work?

Our sails are tensioned fabric structures designed to provide shade and protection from harmful UV rays. They are installed by anchoring the fabric to fixed points, creating a stylish, practical solution for outdoor spaces.

Are shade sails effective at blocking UV rays?

Yes, our sails are specifically engineered to block a high percentage of UV radiation. Depending on the fabric choice, they can block up to 98% of harmful UV rays, making them an excellent option for sun protection in New Zealand’s harsh environment.

What materials are shade sails made from?

Our sails are made from high-quality, UV-stabilised fabrics designed for durability and performance. These fabrics are resistant to fading, tearing, and mould, ensuring they stand up to New Zealand’s tough weather conditions.

Can shade sails handle strong winds and rain?

Our sails are designed to handle moderate wind and rain when properly installed. However, in extreme weather conditions, such as high winds or storms, it’s recommended to remove or loosen the sails to prevent damage.

What shapes and sizes are available?

Our sails are highly customisable. They can be designed in a variety of shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, and squares, and tailored to fit almost any outdoor space, from small patios to large backyards.

Can I install a shade sail myself?

While it’s possible to install smaller shade sails yourself, we don’t recommend it. Professional installation ensures the sails are properly tensioned and securely anchored for maximum durability and performance. 

How do I maintain my shade sail?

Maintaining a shade sail is simple. Regularly clean the fabric with mild soapy water to remove dirt and debris. Inspect the anchors and tension periodically to ensure they remain secure. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools.

Are shade sails a good investment?

Absolutely. Our sails are a cost-effective and stylish way to create functional outdoor spaces while protecting your family from harmful UV rays. They also add aesthetic value to your property and can increase its usability.

How long do shade sails last?

Our sails are made from high-performance materials and, with proper care, can last 10 years or more. They also come with a warranty for added peace of mind.

Can shade sails be customised for my home?

Yes, our sails are specifically designed to enhance residential spaces. Whether you need shade for a patio, deck, garden, pool area, or children’s play zone, we can create a solution tailored to fit your outdoor space and complement your home’s aesthetic.
