Shade sails in various shapes and colours

A brief explanation of the types of shade sails available and the shapes you can choose from.

As spring approaches and the sun gradually reappears, gardens and terraces are being prepared for outdoor living. Nothing is more delightful than enjoying the outdoor environment! Perhaps you already have a shade sail to find the right balance between sitting in or out of the sun. If you don't have one yet, we'll provide a brief explanation of the types of shade sails available and specifically the shapes you can purchase.

Choosing a shade sail You choose a shade sail if you want to create shade and enjoy the outdoors 24x7. The shade sail provides shade, cooling, and protection against wind and rain* (Dreamsail shade sail). It is a stylish addition to your garden or terrace and relatively inexpensive to purchase. One of the most mentioned benefits of a sun sail is that it allows you to work comfortably with a laptop, as the shade ensures that you can see the screen well.

When choosing the right size for a shade sail, we advise you to opt for a slightly smaller size than a too large one due to the installation of your sun sail. Take into account the tension margin, which is the space needed to hang the sail on a pole or wall. We recommend adding approximately 40 cm on each side (20 cm per corner).

Different shapes of a shade sail You can purchase a shade sail in various shapes: triangular, square, and rectangular. The shapes are also available in different dimensions. Choose the shade sail that suits your terrace or garden and, of course, the shade you want to create.

Triangular shade sail The triangular shade sail is the most popular. The reason for this is that this shape offers the most possibilities to attach the sun sail in your garden and it fits easily even if you have a small garden/terrace.

Square shade sail The square shade sail is mainly chosen for larger terraces. If you are looking for more shade and have numerous options for placing the sun sail. The square shape also ensures that you have even more shade, making it extremely efficient.

Rectangular shade sail A rectangular shade sail is often chosen when it preferably needs to be attached in line with the house. The rectangular sun sail is available in two sizes: 3x4 meters and 3x5 meters.
