A sail shade, also known as a textile sunshade sail, is a flexible fabric or PVC membrane that provides shade and protection from the sun and rain. Shade sails are based on the same principles as a ship's sail, and are tensioned between anchor points to create a canopy effect.

• InstallationShade sails are installed by stretching the fabric and securing the corners to mounting points, such as a pergola, tree, wall, or post. 
• BenefitsShade sails are versatile, can cover large or unusually-shaped spaces, and are low maintenance. They also offer UV and rain protection, and can help keep you cool indoors. 
• MaterialHeavier fabrics with a tighter weave are more effective at blocking UV rays. White shade sails can reflect up to 85% of heat away.
