Shade Sails
Shade Sails trade the post-and-frame canopy for tensioned fabric stretched between anchor points, creating angular, architectural shade shapes that suit pools, playgrounds and patios.
Despite the lighter-weight look, Shade Sails are built to the same wind-load and fabric standards as the rest of the Shade America line — knitted HDPE ShadeNet with a light fastness of 7–8 and an 8-year UV guarantee (5 years for Red).
ShadeNet is available in Shade Only and Waterproof versions; which is available depends on the specific sail size and anchor configuration for your project.
