Types of Car Park Shade Sails

Quality shade sails are made of tightly woven, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that reflect or absorb UV rays and offer the ultimate combination of utmost protection, strength, and durability to ensure long-life performance. A quality grade sun sail can block out up to 99% of UVR, while lower quality shade cloths from hardware stores offers from 50% UVR protection.

Fixed Shade Sails are made from tough fabric that is attached to anchor points on buildings and additional poles. Fixed shade sails use minimal resources, are available in a variety of shapes and colours that can be overlapped to creative visually attractive outdoor areas.

Waterproof Shade Sails is an outdoor fabric that can either be water repellent to offer protection only from light rain or completely waterproof or leak-proof, even in torrential downpours. Waterproof shade sails can be self-cleaning using rainwater, which makes them a minimal maintenance option that also effectively block out the harsh UV rays of the sun.

Custom-made shade sails require a site inspection and are designed by a draftsman who consider the location, overall shape, and 3D geometry while the install team ensure the install posts are secure and every measurement is accurate to the nearest millimetre.
