Shade Sails
Keep your outdoor areas cool and protected from the harsh Australian sun.
Shade sails are versatile outdoor structures designed to provide protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays. They are commonly used in school playgrounds, public spaces, large commercial areas, and residential settings, and can come in waterproof or PVC fabric variations for various weather-protective qualities.
Thanks to their flexible design, shade sails can be installed in various configurations to enhance the visual interest of an area. They also offer an effective way to cool down outdoor spaces, which allows for greater enjoyment and usage of this area throughout the year.
Whether you’re looking to create comfortable outdoor living or need to provide sun protection in a public or commercial setting, shade sails offer a practical solution to your needs.
Add an extra layer of protection to your school or commercial space with our custom-fit post pads
In addition to the shade sails themselves, we can also provide durable post pads to ensure the safety of children and employees around poles in playgrounds and commercial areas.
These pads are designed to provide impact protection, thereby reducing the risk of injury or damage upon collision. This makes our post pads ideal for schools and businesses, as they can be custom-fit to your requirements to ensure a perfect match for any environment.
Enhance the safety of your outdoor spaces with our reliable and high-quality post pads.
The benefits of our shade sails include…
Enhanced protection
Shade sails are designed to provide superior coverage that offers both UV protection and all-weather shelter. This makes them ideal for areas where people, especially children, spend extended periods outdoors — such as on playgrounds. Our sails help prevent sunburn, heat exhaustion, and provide waterproof protection, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment in any weather.
Aesthetic appeal
With a variety of colours, shapes, and sizes available, shade sails can be tailored to enhance the aesthetics of any outdoor space. Their sleek, modern appearance can be made to complement your home, school, or business's architectural style, which not only enhances curb appeal but also adds value to your property.
Cooling effect
Shade sails provide significant temperature reduction to their covered areas. This makes outdoor spaces more enjoyable during hot summer months, allowing for the extended use of patios, decks, and other public or commercial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our team conducts a thorough on-site assessment to understand the specifications of your space. We consider factors such as the area’s dimensions, the direction of the sun, typical wind/air currents, and your personal preferences. This allows us to design a sail that not only fits your space, but also maximises comfort and protection from the elements for those using your area.
Yes, shade sails can be anchored to various surfaces, including soil, grass, concrete, and even directly onto buildings. The installation method depends on your site’s conditions and the design of your sail. We ensure that no matter the terrain, your installation is secure and capable of withstanding Australia’s varying weather conditions.
Shade sails are designed to be low-maintenance, however occasional cleaning with mild detergent and water is an easy way to keep your sail looking newer for longer.
It’s important to bear in mind that even with your own manual cleaning, we recommend you invest in regular checks to ensure the lasting integrity of your sail’s fabric and fittings. At Shade ‘N’ Sails, we offer maintenance services to help keep your sail in top condition.
Our range of available shade sail fabrics includes waterproof options. Sails made of such materials are ideal for areas where protection from rain is just as important as protection from the sun. During our initial consultation, we can discuss your needs and recommend the best waterproof fabric options for your project.
Our timeframe can vary depending on your project’s complexity and our current schedule. Typically, from design approval to installation, the process will take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. We always aim to complete your project efficiently and without compromising on quality.
Yes and no. Although the posts for your shade sail are permanent and cannot be removed, the shade sail itself is designed for easy removal and reinstallation. This feature is particularly useful in areas that are subject to seasonal weather changes, or for those who prefer to store their sails during winter.
After we initially install your sails, we’ll provide, if required, detailed instructions on how they can be removed at your discretion. If you’re located in Victoria, we’ll also be able to directly assist you in-person with any seasonal adjustments.
