FAQ

How do I tension my Standard-size Shade Sail?

In order to properly tension your Standard-size Shade Sail, you need to ensure that your corners of your Shade Sail align with your anchoring points - meaning they are as close to one another as possible without the need for cables. (If cables are needed to make up for some distance, that is fine as well but you can expect slightly more movement in your Shade Sail when the winds pick up).

The tension in your Shade Sail will come from the perimeter cabling that already sits within the fabric perimeter of the Shade Sail, and the turnbuckles inserted into the cabling system already.

The first step to ensuring your Shade Sail is set up correctly would be to ensure your cable clamps are tight against the cable. During installation, you would have already tightened these, but it’s a good starting point to ensure your Shade Sail maintains rigidity. (See here for Standard-size Shade Sail installation instructions)

The second step to ensure your Shade Sail is tensioned correctly would be to turn your turnbuckles. It’s important to note that the nuts on either side of your turnbuckle thread are loosened outwards first. This allows your turnbuckle to grip more thread. Turn your turnbuckle until the resistance becomes too heavy. Lock your nuts back against your turnbuckle mechanism. They should both sit flush against your turnbuckle and be tight. This ensures your turnbuckles don’t turn loose in storms and that your Shade Sails maintains its tension and high-performance.

What if my points don’t align with your Shade Sail’s shapes?

If the distances between your anchor points, considering the fact that they should be at different heights, don’t end up matching one of our Standard-size Shade Sails, you should then browse our Custom-size Shade Sails. They’re custom made to fit any space and any size. For optimal performance, the corners of your Shade Sail should always connect directly to the anchor point hardware. You can use some cabling to make up for additional distance, but we don’t recommend relying on this method because it allows for more movement in your sail. When in doubt, reach out to one of our Shade Architects who will be more than happy to assist you and ensure you get it right! 

How important is it to tension my Shade Sail correctly?

Simply put - VERY important! Shade Sails perform best when under immense tension. Tension allows the cabling in the perimeter of the Shade Sail to increase the Sail’s rigidity, allows the Shade Sail to not crease and allows for a smooth, aerodynamic shape to transpire. This is one of the most noticeable aspects to a Shade Sail - that if tensioned properly, will experience almost no movement at all when winds or storms arise. 

Having your Shade Sail correctly tensioned also allows your Shade Sail to shed water and debris better. A Shade Sail that is not under tension is too vulnerable to pooling water, leaves or whatever else might find itself atop your Shade Sail fabric.  The video below illustrates how you can ensure that your Shade Sail is not only installed correctly but is tensioned properly too.

What a great sail and great company. 5 stars for sure!! Chris was so helpful and patient, and the online videos are fabulous! I found that using a ratchet strap was very helpful for attaching the tethers!

Thanks for the review Kirk! Glad to hear our YouTube channel was helpful, and great idea using a ratchet strap! Looks terrific, enjoy!

Recect shade sail purchase

We lived in New Zealand in 2007/08. We fell in love with shade sails there. When we came back to Canada, we looked until we happily found Shade Sail Canada! We ordered our first shade sail (orange) and loved it! It has provided many many years of shade for us. After an outdoor renovation this past summer, we decided it was time for a second shade sail. This summer we purchased our blue shade sail. It is amazing! We can enjoy our backyard and south facing deck during the entire summer! Thank you Shade Sail Canada for such an amazing product! Our new one is riddled with so many upgrades from our original one! If we were able to win the contest, we would replace our original sail! ❤️

Looks wonderful Denise. Glad your old sail is still performing for you, and that you were able to notice to improvements we've made over the years! Enjoy!

Cayennne Sail

When the sail arrived it looked quite Orange. We installed it and once up it goes very well with the maroon accent colors that we have. Installed with the traveler system - it does exactly what we hoped it would do. Very happy at this point.

Thanks T, glad to hear you're happy with both your Shade Sail & Traveler System. Enjoy!

You guys build an incredibly solid and reliable product and it has become a center piece on our outdoor space for the last year. I constantly have people asking me where I got it, and I cant say enough about how well this baby holds up!
I cant help but laugh when I go to other peoples homes and they have sails from Amazon or Canadian Tire or something and they say how much they saved.totally laughable when their product looks like complete crapand you just know its only going to last them for a year.
Im really glad I found you guys online and am thrilled with the product
