Benefits of a Shade Sail

  • Advice
- February 25, 2021

Are you considering a shade sail for your outdoor space?

We just love the days when we can bask in the hot summer air, beer and book in hand, under the shade of a sail. Can you picture it? It’s the holidays, the sky is blue and the grass is green. No timetables or obligations, just pure bliss to be enjoyed at your leisure.

We love the sun, but we also need shade. Especially here in New Zealand, it’s absolutely necessary to seek shelter from the strong UV rays, to avoid sunburn and heat stroke. Investing in a shade sail can enhance your summer experience while adding a modern look to your home, business or school.

Here are five benefits of a shade sail:

1. Shade Sails Offer Sun Protection

Have you ever felt fatigued after spending too many hours in the sun? Shade sails offer a place to cool down and re-energize with a glass of ice water. While the sun does so many good things for our bodies, it also emits harmful UV rays that can lead to sunburn and skin cancers. Balance is power, so protect yourself (and your family, employees, customers or students) this summer with a quality shade sail.

Shade sails also offer shelter during those sporadic summer storms. We live in a temperamental climate, but that doesn’t mean we have to cut our fun short when the rain starts to fall. Stay dry under a sturdy canopy.

2. Shade Sails Look Fantastic in Any Situation

Our shade sails are designed, manufactured and certified to the highest standards. We use 3D software and provide a range of fabrics for you to choose from, to bring you a customized, high quality product.
We can make shade sails in all shapes, sizes and colours, so you won’t have to worry about how it will fit in with your existing look and feel. Whether you’re looking for a sail for shade over your patio, courtyard or veranda, we have options for both residential and commercial spaces. A high quality shade sail can add value to your property for a lower cost than other shade systems.

3. Shade Sails Provide Ventilation for Extra Cooling

Our shade sails are made from a breathable fabric and are designed to maximize breeze flow and ventilation. You can keep the BBQ running and your guests won’t complain about the heat!

4. Shade Sails are Cost-Effective

Shade sails are made to last, as long as you opt for quality. They are also a durable, aesthetically pleasing solution to efficient sun protection. At Sunshade our shade sails are flexible, customisable and much more affordable than timber, aluminium or steel shade structures.

5. Shade Sails are Easy to Professionally Install

There’s no need to make permanent changes to the structure of your home or building. Shade sails are easy to have professionally installed and just as easy to remove should you ever wish to.
