We offer Custom Sunbrella Shade Sails to fit almost any size and shape in several colors. Also known as Sun Sails, shade sails make beautiful additions to your patio, backyard, or other outdoor areas, and they provide excellent protection from sun and its harmful UV radiation. A shade sail is the perfect alternative to a traditional pergola or covered porch. Floating and curvaceous, shade sails make an attractive addition to any property, and with the right design can enhance the existing property with architectural and artistic flair and style.

Our Custom Sunbrella Shade Sails feature Sunbrella breathable fabric to keep you cooler and more comfortable in hot weather. This state of the art material provides a UV protection factor of up to 98% and is unaffected by moisture and natural temperature extremes. Sunbrella's solution dyed acrylic fabric is fade and water resistant. The near waterproof fabric also resists stains, mildew, and rot. The perimeter of each sail contains seatbelt type webbing for increased strength and durability. Each corner has a welded, solid, marine grade, stainless steel attachment ring to aid in attaching to a structurally sound fixing point. Sunbrella fabric has a limited 10 year manufacturer's warranty. Thread, webbing, and D-Rings have a one year warranty.

All custom shade sails are designed with a reduction of approximately 10% of your attachment point measurements. This is done to allow enough space for the mounting hardware, fabric stretch, and to tension the sail. All final shade sail measurements will be approximate due to tolerances during the fabricating process. Due to the limited available Sunbrella fabric widths, there will be seams approximately every 40-57 inches.

The perimeter of each sail is designed with a gentle curve inwards towards the center of the sail to control fabric tension. This inward curve will be approximately 6-8% of the length of each side of the shade sail. Therefore, when tension is placed on the shade sail, the fabric will not wrinkle. Shade sails, when installed properly, do not sag or flap in the wind.

Sail Shades are wonderfully versatile; they can be attached to homes, trees, or patio columns. In addition, they can be supported by wood posts or steel columns embedded in concrete footings, and can also be taken down seasonally as required.


Determining the amount of Slope/Angle for your Sunbrella Shade Sail

Sunbrella fabric is water resistant, and Shade Sails made from this fabric have to be installed at a 20 degree slope to allow water to run off and not pool on top. Below is a simple equation and example to determine the amount of vertical drop from one attachment point of the sail to the opposite attachment point of the sail to allow water run off. A 20 degree slope can also be seen as a 35% difference between the higher attachment point and low attachment points.

If you have a shade sail that is a 15 foot square the amount of angle/slope will be 5 feet 5 inches. You can determine this slope amount by using the equation: Sail Size x .35 = Amount of Slope


15 Feet x .36 = 5.25 Feet which is about 5 Feet 3 Inches.


Therefore it is best to attach two points of your sail 5 Feet 3 Inches lower than the two higher points to allow water run off.

Note: Some shade sail shapes and sails with additional corners will have additional costs. There is also a 50 square foot minimum charge for custom shade sails. We strive to offer custom made shade sails at an economical price. In order to offer our custom sails at these prices, they are not engineered to the stringent specifications you may find on a sail costing twice as much. You may find that a length of steel cable or chain is needed to reach the attachment points when installing your shade sail.

Right angle triangle shade sails with short edges less than 1/2 the length of the longest edge are not recommended because you end up with a very thin shade sail.
