We offer Custom Sunbrella Shade Sails to fit almost any shape in several colors. More than ever, people are spending more time outdoors and protection from the sun has become increasingly important due to the effects of the sun on the skin. 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 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 design 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 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 & 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 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 10% 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.


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 of the sail. Below is a chart with measurements based on the size of the sail for 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. Measurements are rounded.
