Shade Sails are outdoor shades that are used for protection from the hot sun and the rain.

Shade Sail is modeled on the sail of a ship hence the name Shade Sail. Just like the ship sail it is a tensioned fabric that is used as a shade cover stretched between three or four anchor points.

Shade Sail is not a new concept although it has grown in popularity over the years. It was in use in the Ancient Egypt and later the Greeks and Romans used it to protect them from the harsh sun. The Colloseums in Rome were covered with durable sail cloth pulled over by a group of sailors.

Gradually the quality became better and more durable in the 1990s as the Australians started using it to protect themselves from the UV rays. Fabrics used earlier would fade away or get spoilt by UV degradation but now it's made from high density polyethylene which is a knitted fabric that comes with a 10 years warranty from UV radiation.

This system is supported by three or four anchor points. The Shade Sail is stretched by either a turnbuckle or a pulley system. The turnbuckle is used is a more stable system which takes a few hours to install while the pulley system is flexible since it can be put together and removed whenever one pleases hence it is widely used at home or for outdoor locations.

With its ever growing demand a lot of changes have been brought in to make it look attractive. Now Shade Sails come in different designs, colors and shapes-polygon, triangle or squares that look very appealing and attractive. Also because of its popularity a lot of local manufactures are also producing lesser quality and inexpensive Shade Sail.
