Welcome to the Buyer’s Guide to Shade Sails
5 things you need to know
![Page 2: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)

They are shower proof
but not fully waterproof
![Page 4: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The sail has a fabric
that allows it to breathe
![Page 5: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
They will protect you from a light shower
but not a heavy shower
![Page 6: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
We advise that you install them
with a slope of 15 degrees to help the rain run off the surface

If they are correctly installed
they can withstand high winds
![Page 9: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The wind force will be transmitted from
the sail into the mountings so they must be secure
![Page 10: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The amount of tension
depends on the size of the sail
![Page 11: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
30-50kg of tension
will be needed in each corner
![Page 12: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
High quality fittings and a reinforced border
also help to resist the wind force
![Page 13: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

They absorb over 90% of harmful UV rays
![Page 15: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The fabric is breathable
which allows hot air to escape through and give you a cool shade
![Page 16: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The most common are
triangles, squares and rectangles
![Page 18: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
There is a limited range
of sizes and colors in the ‘standard’ range
![Page 19: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Custom sails are available
in a wider range of shapes and colors, but are more
expensive
![Page 20: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

A 4 sided sail will provide
more shade than a 3 sided sail
![Page 22: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
To cover a larger area
multiple sails can be superimposed
![Page 23: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Smaller sails will be less affected by the wind
![Page 24: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Standard quality material
is suitable for residential applications
![Page 25: Welcome to the buyers guide to shade sails](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052514/58ac45e51a28ab99028b531b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
For larger sails & commercial applications
a heavier grade of material is best
