Sunbrella® fabric is water resistant, and shade sails made from this fabric have to be installed with at least a 20 degree slope to allow water to run off and not pool on top of the sail.
The chart above lists measurements for the amount of vertical drop recommended based on the size of the sail. Measurements are rounded.
Why do Shade Sails have Curves in the sides? Shade sails have a curved perimeter to control fabric tension. This is achieved through a principle called catenary tensioning. A catenary is the shape that a hanging chain or cable takes under its own weight. When the corners of a shade sail are tensioned, the curved perimeter attempts to straighten out. However, because the curves are attached to the fabric in the center of the sail, they create tension, which prevents the fabric from sagging or flapping in the wind. The amount of curvature in the perimeter depends on the size and weight of the shade sail. Larger and heavier sails will have a greater curvature. The curvature is also affected by the height of the mounting points. Higher mounting points will create more tension in the fabric, which results in a flatter sail. Proper tensioning of a sail is essential for its performance and longevity. A properly tensioned sail will not sag, flap, or wrinkle. It will also be more resistant to tearing and damage from the wind. |
