Sail Shade World factory, sail making area. Note the large space for laying out shade sails.
A long time ago when we had 4 sizes and 4 colours we used these cartons for packing.
Now with 28 sizes and 34 colours it is impractical to have a box for each size and colour so we use Polypropylene mesh to protect and wrap the shade sails for delivery.
Pre-Made Shade Sails
Our Commercial grade pre-made made sails are identical in all ways to our Custom shade sails, but they are cheaper because they are made from templates.Our shade sails should not be compared with cheap imitations which often use inferior materials without adequate UV stabilizers, leading to quick fading, material weakening, and insufficient UV protection, resulting in a much shorter lifespan.
Tension is important to get a long life out of a shade sail. Our sails made with a shade cloth weight exceeding 300GM² can all be highly tensioned and mounted permanently. For the pre-made shade sails we offer a lightweight version which should not to be used for tensioned permanent installation. It should be taken down in bad weather and stored through the winter months but, if well cared for, will have a useful life of 10 years or more.
With 28 sizes we have a much large size choice than any other maker and more colors. The Commercial shade sails have 20 colors and the Lightweight have 9. Click below to see the prices, to purchase you will be sent to SHADE-SAILS.com, our website dedicated to the Pre-made shade sails.
