Unlike conventional awnings and shelters, outdoor shade sails are attractive as well as practical.
They create a stunning functional design feature in both public and private settings. The sails are made from a hi-tech fabric that can be stretched out to form a canopy. The material is pulled taught between separate anchor points which are fixed to each corner.
The flexibility of the dense fabric means that you are not only protected from the sun, but you also have an elegant architectural shade. Here are some useful shade sail ideas that will look great in your garden: Sophisticated patio area Outdoor sun sails are the perfect canopy for a grown up patio or outdoor eating area. The sails can be pulled into wonderfully sculptural shapes that make the area look stunning all year round. Classic colors like pale white or sandy tones are muted and sophisticated and look beautiful against a bright blue sky.
By placing anchor points in different places and at different heights the sail can take on infinite forms.
By altering the anchor points you can create a swooping dramatic structure, a smooth graceful arc, or a sturdy geometric slope. Look for one that suits both your garden and you sense of style.
Large outdoor spaces Large outdoor spaces can be difficult to shade especially if they are away from the house. Shades sails are independent structures so this is not a problem. There are several shapes available including triangles, rectangles, hexagons, and squares, all in various sizes. To cover a large or awkward space, outdoor shade sails work well in combination.
