There are three ways to measure:

  1. Eye to eye. The term “eye” refers to the point at which the shade sail hardware is attached when installing your sail. To achieve a proper fit, you need to measure the space between the anchor points measuring from the outside of each eye.  
  2. Intended positions of the eyes. Carefully mark on the wall or post the intended position, and measure from there to the other intended and marked locations.
  3. Bottom of the poles (not recommended). This option is tricky and we do not recommend it, but if that’s your only option please ensure a common reference height for all points, so that there are no height variations between the intended positions (e.g., stairs, high slopes, etc.). If you are measuring this way please get directions from us on how to do so. We are here and happy to help.

We compensate for the size allowance and allocation of hardware.

Installation

Shade Sails can be installed in minutes. Check the video and make sure your turnbuckles are tight!

Please note not all corners have a turnbuckle. We do that to maximize the shade

Where to Attach My Sail?

Shade Sails are extremely strong and durable systems, but are only ever as strong as their attachment points.

The good selection of anchor points and posts design is crucial.

Contact us if you need help and we will work with you to ensure your existing structures, posts or frames are substantial enough to withstand the load from these tensioned systems.

The Design

Shade sails are designed for 3 seasons and are intended to come down during snow months. Enquire with us if you need support doing so with our Drop & Fly program.

Height variance is key. The hyperbolic shape aids with water runoff, performance in wind, and creates a greater shade if facing west. With a proper design our Shade Sails can go through a cyclone!

Our Shade Analysis & Design is the best way for you to not only visualize your next project but it’s also the best way for you to analyze just how much shade will be created at different times of day or year.

How to gauge the height of your Sail

Varying the heights of your attachment points is the best way to create captivating shapes with your Shade Sail. For example, with 4 points we can create a beautiful hyperbolic shape by alternating high and low attachment points. This hyperbolic shape is also aerodynamic and allows for proper rain runoff.  

Make it adjustable

Add the traveller system to your order and adjust the height of the sail to maximize the shade!

Inspired by our nautical roots, the Shade Sails Canada's Traveller System™ facilitates an innovative adjustment to the positioning of the corner of your Shade Sail, allowing you to adjust your corner height(s)  to better protect you from the Sun at later times in the day. This offers unprecedented versatility for your Shade Sail.

Fabric Selection

Our specialty fabric is extremely durable, highly fade-resistant and tear-proof. Warrantied for up to 15 years, it provides protection from harmful UV rays as well as substantial cooling for your outdoor space.

Although most of our Shade Sail fabrics are not waterproof, with proper design and installation we can ensure that they efficiently shed water. A fine mist may still pass through the fabric, but the majority of rain will be directed to the low points of your Shade Sail where even the heaviest rains will easily run off.

Waterproof Shade

Although most of our Shade Sail fabrics are not waterproof, with proper design and installation we can ensure that they efficiently shed water. A fine mist may still pass through the fabric, but the majority of rain will be directed to the low points of your Shade Sail where even the heaviest rains will easily run off.

How to measure?

It is our mission to have you Shade Sail fit perfectly and for that, accurate measurements are key.

The recommended method is to first install your anchor points and then measure eye to eye with a non-elastic string.

Please read our measuring guide.

What's Included with My Shade Sail?

Our custom size Shade Sails are shipped fully cabled with all the appropriate Marine Grade Stainless Steel Tensioning Hardware conveniently installed and labeled. Please note not all corners have a turnbuckle, we do that to maximize the fabric size.

Any Anchor Hardware that is required for your install will need to be ordered in addition to your Shade Sail.

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 design.

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 and we make your sail to fit, considering stretch, hardware and all. This is as simple as it sounds.

I wanted to cover my vintage trailer for the long long rainy Seattle fall/winter/spring. The problem was it needed to be attached to the house, but still be high enough to back the trailer into the spot going downhill while also keeping within the city code for maximum square feet. The people at Shade Sails Canada where so helpful. I had lots of questions and changed my mind several times about how to have it attach to the house on that edge. We decided to have a track along fascia of the roof. They helped me find the right set up(I even got to see a computer image of it beforehand and it looks great! I felt like they really cared about helping me through the process each time I talked on the phone. I got the waterproof black sail and so far it has endured some high wind and many inches of rain. The hardware is top notch. My trailer has stayed dry. I am so happy I found this high quality product and I highly recommend it!
It hard to tell in the photo, but all three attachment points are at different heights and the track at the top is level.
