When you choose Sail Shades LA, you can rest assured that you’re getting a high-quality product that will enhance the look and functionality of your outdoor space for years to come.
Crafting Custom Shade Sails
Whether you’re looking for something dramatic, such as several smaller overlapping sails connected at different heights with various mid-point connections, or something more basic like one or two larger non-overlapping sails, we can help you design a fabric shade sail that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. If you prefer, we can also work closely with your engineers or architects to create a high-quality, visually impressive, and functional shade sail.
We particularly recommend “hypar design” or “twist” shade sails, which create a stunning architectural effect and large areas of usable shade. With a hypar-designed sail, you’ll notice that the high and low points are installed diagonally opposite each other, creating a “twist” or bow in the sail. This design is perfect for outdoor school spaces and playgrounds, especially when you mix up the colors of the fabric to match your school’s colors. Go team!
Our Premium Shade Sail Materials
At Universal Awning & Canopy, we only use the highest quality materials for our shade sails. We understand that a shade sail is a significant investment, which is why we ensure that the materials we use are built to last. Our shade sails are made from durable, UV-blocking fabric that is able to withstand the elements for years to come. We also use specialized hardware such as turnbuckles, shackles, and snap hooks to ensure that the shade sails are properly tensioned and secure. Our commitment to using only the best quality materials ensures that our shade sails not only look great but also provide optimal protection and longevity.
Expert Installation for Maximum Safety and Performance
We are not a DIY shade sailing store. All of our shade sail installations are done by professionals who are experienced in the installation process.
- Our installation team takes great care to ensure that the foundation holes are the correct depth, so that the perimeter posts don’t move in mild to strong winds.
- We also tension the shade tails at the corners and run durable cable around the perimeter to prevent the sails from sagging or flapping in the wind.
- We strive to make the shade sail installation as symmetrical as possible, ensuring that it provides optimal coverage and aesthetics.
- Additionally, we factor in height variation to ensure that the shade sail will shed off rainwater and not become waterlogged.
- We ensure the shade sail is properly aligned and tensioned for optimal coverage and aesthetics, and provide care and maintenance instructions for long-lasting use.
- Our care and attention to detail ensure that your shade sail is functional, stylish, and secure.
