How to Order a Roman Shade

  • 1 — Anchor Points

    The first step in ordering your Roman Shade is ensuring that your intended anchoring points are strong enough to receive the Anchor Hardware.

    At least 3” of substance (wood) is required to hold a screw eye.

    The strength of a metal structure can vary based on size and type. Please contact us to discuss.

  • 2 — Measure

    Accurately measure the distance between the anchor points where your Roman Shade will extend and retract. Please also measure the width of the structure to calculate the width of your Roman Shade/s. Keep in mind that our maximum width is 8’8”.

  • 3 — Choose Your Colour

    We have over 33 of your favourite colours in stock! Check them out and choose one. We know this is the tough part.

FAQ

What are my Roman Shade width limitations?

The maximum width that our Roman Shades are produced in is 8’8”.

This is the total, actual width after creases and hardware are taken into account. We can cut your Roman Shades to any width as long as it’s less than 8’8”. This does not pertain to the lengths of our Roman Shades, which in reality don’t have a limit. The longer we make these Roman Shades, the more support would be needed as the weight of the shades would surpass the strength of the tension in the cabling system that supports the Roman Shades. Ideally, anything longer than 20 ft would need support midway to ensure the cabling system remains under tension.

How much substance do I need for my anchor hardware?

With Roman Shades, we provide you with all the tensioning as well as anchoring hardware. This means your system is ready-to-fly when it arrives at your door. The anchoring hardware that is provided to you are our welded screw eyes (8x80mm). These screw eyes have a 3” thread on them - which means you need at least 3” of substance to anchor the entire screw eye in. Add an extra inch to that if you’d like the screw eye to sit flush against the anchoring point.

Please let us know if you need to substitute anchors that will work with a metal structure in place of the screw eyes.
How do I know how much droop my Roman Shades will have?

The width of the panels that make up the length of our Roman Shades are produced in 2 ft widths - as a standard. We can add as many of these 2 ft in order to make up the desired length of Roman Shade. Because of this, you can expect to have about 8” of droop in your Roman Shades. If you have an extra panel in your system (meaning you’ve installed a 12’ Roman Shade in a 10 ft space) you can expect to have slightly more droop - around 10”.

Do I need my space to be perfectly square when measuring for my Roman Shade?

It certainly is ideal to install the perimeter cabling system of our Roman Shades in a square or rectangular formation. You can install this square system in an area that is not perfectly square but you should then expect there to be gaps between the cabling system and the structure in which you wish to install it. We don’t recommend this method. If you have an unorthodox space, rather have a conversation with one of our Shade Architects and make use of our free consultation service.

Great Shades!

Great shades! One comment I do have is it would have been nice if the side seams were on top. Since you sit under the shade you can see the seams and it looks like it’s installed wrong side out.

Hi Kellee, Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you are enjoying your custom sized Roman shades. We appreciate your feedback about the placement of the side seams and will definitely take that into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope you continue to enjoy it!

Nearly perfect

The installation instructions state that the work can be completed in 30 minutes. This timeframe is perhaps possible after several installations but for a first time attempt, 2 hours is more reasonable.

We did not receive a sufficient length of wire rope (we ended up purchasing additional wire rope and connectors to get the right length). Not clear whether our measurements were incorrect or a shorter length than finally ordered (we made changes to the order) was sent. Suggest that purchasers measure the wire rope BEFORE starting installation to ensure that the correct length was sent.

Overall, we are very happy with our purchase and do not hesitate to recommend this product.

Hi Michael, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during installation. We will definitely look into the issue with the wire rope length and make sure to address it with our team. We are glad to hear that you are happy with your purchase and we appreciate your recommendation. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you again for your feedback.

Absolutely fabulous Shade Sail

I was building a custom pergola for our pool deck and wanted a top quality shade cover.... after much research found Shade Sail Canada..... it is absolutely the best... the best product, the best shopping experience, the best support - they took multiple calls and emails and helped me get exactly what we needed as the pergola is custom designed. Jake and Chris were both excellent. Jake provided tons of help ensuring I got the right equipment to go with the sail. The sail works so well... love the ability to pull it out and close it up at night. We ended buying a second "privacy panel" to close off the end of the pergola which gets sun in the afternoons....
Have recommended this to our whole family and would recommend Shade Sail Canada to anyone

Premium Quality Product Customized To Your Specifications

Save yourself a lot of time and go straight to Shade Sails Canada if you want a premium quality product that offers maximum value. The strength and durability of their fabrics will give you confidence that you’ve made a wise investment that will last many years. We especially like the microweave characteristic of the fabric which allows diffuse light to filter through yet still offer UV protection. Also, great turnaround time on completion of our order!

Great product

I ordered these Roman shades because my backyard gets pounded by the sun all afternoon in the summer. I don't start getting shade from my tree until late afternoon/early evening, so the pergola gets very hot.

I had installed some shade sails by this same company at work, so I knew they made a good product.

I contacted them using the website, asking for some swatches so I could look at colours in person. Within a week I had a handful of them and we picked out the colour we liked.
I ordered them on a Sunday and they were delivered the next Monday, so super fast.
I did the install myself, and it was fairly simple. The hardest part was actually hanging the shades, but that still only took about 5 minutes. With another ladder and another person it would've taken 1.
I also ordered the pulley system and it works perfectly. I had to adjust the positioning of the loop on the rope a bit but that wasn't a big deal.
Highly recommended. Fantastic product!
