Custom vs. Standard

A Custom Shade Sail gives you the freedom to create almost any shape you want in a Sail, allowing  you to benefit from maximum Shade and Aesthetic.

In many cases a Custom Sail is also the most economical solution, as we can create your Shade Sail to attach to your existing anchor points (House, Garage, Large Tree, etc) instead of adding multiple new posts. 

You simply provide us with accurate measurements of your space (Anchor point to anchor point) and we make your sail to fit, considering stretch, hardware and all. This is as simple as it sounds.

FAQ

Are the sides of a shade sail straight or curved?

The sides of a shade sail are curved to ensure proper tensioning. The amount of the curve (catenary curve) depends on the shape of the shade sail and can be adjusted when ordering a custom shade sail.

A standard catenary curve is 7%; this percentage relates to the distance between attachment points. If—as shown in the diagram below—the distance from A to B is 10 feet, a 7% catenary curve is 8.4 inches (7% of 120 inches). This is the distance—shown in white—from the midpoint between the two attachment points (A & B) to the midpoint in the curve of the shade sail (C).

Curvature is not solely for tensioning purposes, it can be increased (to go around a tree or other obstruction) or decreased in some cases. Our design software automatically optimizes the catenary curve for each design.  Please get in contact with our design team for any unique requirements.
What is the UV rating of our Shade fabric?

UV ratings range from 89.3% to 97.7% depending on your fabric and colour. Your colour choice will not noticeably affect the temperature under the sail.

Note: the surface you are standing on may reflect the sun more than others so the sail rating does not consider UV coming off the ground surface and bouncing up.
Why are flat shade sails inferior?

We always aim at providing Shade Sails that are not only well tensioned, but perform optimally too. A flat Shade Sail - meaning all the anchor points are at the same height, or the Shade Sail lies on a perfect slope with both high points at the same height and both low points at the same height - will always catch the winds. This is why we prefer to alternate and vary anchor heights in order to get more shape out of the Shade Sail and give the system better aerodynamics. Designed by Shade Sails Canada and installed following our instructional videos, your Shade Sail should be extremely rigid and you should experience very little to no movement at all in your Shade Sails especially in periods of higher winds.
Are posts included?

It depends! In a commercial setting, we provide full turnkey solutions whereby we oversee not only the fabrication and finishing of steel posts but the installation of them as well. In a residential setting, we provide you with all the specifications pertaining to your posts, whether they be steel or pressure treated wooden posts.

Enjoying our shade sail so much we’ve been too busy to write a review!

We started planning a deck rebuild in February and was fortunate to find Shade Sail Canada via the web. They provided us with many resources to help us decide on the final look and were extremely responsive to my many questions. We also used their shade analysis which was very helpful in the deck planning with our contractor.
Jake was very patient as he guided us to our final design which arrived here in Ontario 2 weeks later.
Can’t say enough good things about this company! Thanks so much.

An exceptional design, build and purchase process!

We recently had a custom shade sail designed and fabricated for our home in San Diego by Shade Sails Canada, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! The custom design provided by the Shade Sails design team optimized our backyard usability and gave us a modern, comfortable space that extended our living area beyond our expectations.

Working with Jake and the rest of the Shade Sails Canada team was an absolute pleasure. They were professional, easy to communicate with, and made the entire process worry-free. The quality of the shade sail is outstanding, and it has truly transformed our backyard into a perfect oasis for relaxation and entertainment.

We love our shade sail and highly recommend Shade Sails Canada to anyone looking to enhance their outdoor living space. Thank you, Jake and team, for your exceptional service and craftsmanship!

Two custom shade sails

We purchased two sails. I first worked with Chris from sales and he was super helpful as we talked about options. I then worked with Jake on the design and they were super patient as our design evolved. It took a few tries but once we got it right, the order was place and we had our sails in Ontario within 2 weeks. Awesome service all around. The install was super easy (30 mins to put up the two sails - with a friend). Everything worked like a charm. Thank you for your help. We will recommend this to all our friends.
