Premium quality shade sails can withstand 60mph+ winds when installed correctly. This is because they are made of sturdy materials and are durable.
If you live in an area where high winds are common, we recommend purchasing custom shade sails designed for harsh weather conditions. Although custom shade sails are more likely to resist high wind speeds, standard shade sails are also porous.
This means they allow wind to pass through easily – therefore making them sturdy during most storms.
No. Shade sails are secured in place by stainless steel riggings that are attached to your walls or roof.
They also have a tensioned structure which means they adopt a solid shape when facing high winds or adverse weather conditions. This means you can leave shade sails up during windy months without having to worry about them blowing away.
Standard shade sails do not protect from rain, yet they are still able to be left up when it rains without experiencing damage from water pooling on the cover.
There are waterproof shade sail options that can protect you from the rain. These designs commonly use PVC fabric and can block out all elements – including rain, sun, and the wind.
The stretch of shade sails depends on their size and material. However, they typically stretch by approximately 5% of the initial length of width. The optimum stretch voltage can range between 60 and 70kg at each corner.
Stretch sails can loosen up over time, so you must adjust the tensioning in them on a routine basis. We advise stretching your shade sails to the maximum for optimal usage but avoid over tensioning them.
The majority of residential shade sails are attached to the side of homes. Some simple installations steps include:
If you’re struggling to comprehend any stage of the installation process, contact Cool Outdoor Living on 1300 655 310. We also offer Shade Sail Installations!
Shade sail posts should be around 32 inches or 800mm deep. Concrete should be at the bottom of the pole for maximum security.
Yes – shade sails are designed to be resistant to hail and associated damages. Premium sails have a tensioning structure which means they return to their original shape after filling up with hailstones.
This means that the shade sail and everything underneath it remains protected from the elements.
