Questions & Answers about Square Commercial 95 Shade Sails

Q:

What is a shade sail, and how does it work?

A:

A shade sail is a modern, tensioned fabric canopy that provides effective sun protection for any outdoor space. Inspired by a ship's sail, it is made from durable, UV-resistant materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or acrylic canvas. The sail is anchored, with about 150lbs of tension, at its corners to poles, walls, or other sturdy structures, creating a stable and wind-resistant cover. Known for their aesthetic appeal and versatility, shade sails are a popular solution for creating comfortable outdoor recreational environments in both residential and commercial settings, including patios, decks, pools, playgrounds, courtyards and dining areas.

Q:

Is Commercial 96 shade fabric waterproof?

A:

Commercial 95 shade fabric, made by GALE Pacific, is a tightly knot knitted HDPE mesh material. The material itself is unaffected by moisture and does not absorb water, but its mesh structure allows water and air to pass through, meaning it is not a true waterproof barrier. It is primarily designed for UV protection, strength and durability.

Q:

How do I properly install a shade sail, and what are the most common mistakes to avoid?

A:

Proper installation requires strong, reliable anchor points and correct tension. Your anchor points, such as sturdy poles or existing structures, must be able to withstand significant force from wind. You should use marine-grade hardware, including turnbuckles, to pull the sail taut and adjust it as needed. If you are installing a waterproof sail, you must create a slope of at least 20 degrees to prevent rainwater from pooling.

The most common installation mistakes include:

Anchoring to weak structures like a wooden fence or insufficient posts
Using inadequate or cheap hardware that can rust or fail. Shade sail hardware needs to be stainless steel.
Not properly tensioning the sail causes the sail to be droopy and allows it to flap in the wind which stresses the fabric and stitching greatly reducing its lifespan.
With waterproof sails is installing them too flat. Even a small amount of rainwater can cause the fabric to sag, creating a deeper pocket that collects more water. This compounding weight will eventually lead to a failure of either the sail, its attachment hardware, or the mounting points.

Square Commercial 95 Shade Sails

Made to Order with Mesh HDPE 95-98% UV Block Shade Fabric

Square Commercial 95 Shade Sails are an economical way to shade your deck or patio. More than ever, people are spending more time outdoors, and protection from the sun has become increasingly important because of the harmful effects the sun has on the skin. Also known as Sun Sails, shade sails make beautiful additions to your patio, backyard, swimming pool, or outdoor living area, and they provide excellent protection from the sun and UV radiation. A shade sail is the perfect alternative to a traditional pergola or covered porch. Floating with curvaceous sides, shade sails make an attractive addition to any property, and with the right design can enhance the existing property with flair and style.

These shade sails feature the Commercial 95 fabric by Synthesis. The Commercial 95 material is a 340 grams per square meter high density polyethylene knitted fabric specially designed to breathe and keep you cooler and more comfortable in hot weather. This state of the art material has a 10 year warranty against UV breakdown. It blocks up to 98% of the harmful UV rays, yet it remains totally unaffected by moisture and natural temperature extremes. And because the Commercial 95 fabric is knitted, not woven, it will not tear or fray. Shade sails are reinforced around the perimeter and have a stainless steel ring at each corner.

Sail Shades are wonderfully versatile tension shade product; 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 they can also be taken down seasonally as required. Shade sails have inwardly curved sides by design. The curve at deepest point is about 6-10% of the length of the side and helps to eliminate wrinkles, sagging or flapping of the fabric when under proper tension.

The dimensions supplied are for the finished sails dimension, corner to corner along a side. Your mounting points should be at least 11 inches + 5% of the length of the sail. This is so you have enough space for your typical mounting hardware ( ~11 inches) and the fabric stretch ( ~5% of the length of the side ).

EXAMPLE: 15ft square sail (180 inches), would require that the mounting points be at least 200 inches apart at a minimum. 5% of 180in is 9 inches, add that to 11 inches and you get 20 inches + the length of the side of 180in equals 200 inches. Easy right?

Due to manufacturing tolerances and fabric stretch, sails dimensions may vary 1.5" plus or minus.

Please note that all Commercial 95 shade sails are made to order and therefore these are NOT returnable
