Shade sail – rectangular, water-repellent, and with attachment straps

Shade Sail - a sleek plane above the patio that also withstands wet weather

Hang this square-to-rectangular sail from a pergola, between two posts, or from a wall bracket, and it covers a defined area instead of a vague circle. The surface lets water run off and dries quickly, so an afternoon shower won't put a damper on the evening. Four sizes range from 2 x 3 meters to 4 x 5 meters.

Why choose a rectangular shade sail?

Most patios are rectangular, and with a rectangular sail you lose less fabric over the edges. Straight sides also fit neatly against a wall or pergola beam. The result looks like part of the house rather than a temporary solution.

• Straps included: the straps and fastening loops are included, so you can hang it up on the day it arrives.
• Load properly supported: the reinforced corners bear the load where it is highest.
• A shower doesn't have to ruin anything: water beads on the surface and makes its way to the lowest corner.
• Retains its shape: the connections are closed, so the panel keeps its shape in changing weather.
• Overhead shelter: the sail also gives your patio some protection from windows overlooking it.

Straight edges, a clean line along the wall, and shade exactly where you sit.

Hang two corners high and two lower, so water always has a direction in which to run off. With the straps, you can take the sail down in a minute when a storm is forecast, and that is the best way to make it last. Let it air-dry before folding it up, because a damp sail in the shed develops a smell that never goes away.
