Sunbrella fabric is water resistant, and sun sail shades 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 below lists measurements for the amount of vertical drop recommended based on the size of the sail.

Reinforced Perimeter – Webbing or Cables

Residential Sails come with 1-1/2 inch UV inhibitive reinforcement webbing, which is standard for normal residential use in sails up to about 325 square feet. 1-1/2 inch webbing is rated with an approximate 1,800 pound break strength. For larger sail shades or in areas that experience above average high winds, 2 inch webbing with an approximate break strength of 5,500 pounds is recommended. (Reinforced 1/8 inch cables with a break strength of approximately 2,000 pounds and 1/4 inch cables with a break strength of approximately 6,000 pounds are also available) Each corner has a welded, solid, marine grade, stainless steel attachment ring to aid in attaching the shade sail to a structurally strong attachment point.

We offer a variety of shapes and sizes

Sunbrella Shade Sails are available in several sizes, colors, and shapes, including squares, rectangles, equilateral triangles, and right angle triangles.

When calculating the size of the sun sail that you would need for a certain area, be sure to allow for about 12 to 18 inches of space between the shade sail’s heavy duty d-rings and the mounting points for the necessary mounting hardware including turnbuckles. It is better for the sail shade to be too small than too large. If it is too large, you will not be able to tighten when necessary, but if they are too small, you can still attach the sail shade to the mounting points with the help of a few lengths of chain or a piece of aircraft cable.

Why do Shade Sails have Curves in the sides? The perimeter of each sail is designed with a curve (also referred to as a gore) inwards towards the center of the sail to control the fabric tension. Shade Sails have reinforced webbing around the perimeter and marine stainless steel d-rings or “Delta” rings at each corner. Years ago, people would hang up a tarp with straight sides and grommets in the corners over what they wanted to protect or to shade an area. The grommets in the corners of the tarp were attached and tensioned to the mounting points. The outside edges of the tarp would be tensioned tight, however the middle of the tarp would sag and flap in the wind. So curves were put in the edges of the perimeter and once the corners were pulled, that would attempt to straighten out the curves in the sides, but they could not because they were attached to the fabric in the center of the shade sail. This effect would in turn tighten up the fabric in the center of the shade sail. This eliminates the sagging or loose fabric like in the middle of the tarp with the grommets. When properly tensioned, the fabric will not wrinkle, sag, or flap in the wind.

Note: 1) Due to the available Sunbrella fabric widths, and depending on the size ordered, your shade sail may have seams. 2) Due to manufacturing tolerances and fabric stretch, finished shade sail dimensions may vary 1.5″ +/-.
