Whether we’re on the clock or having our own leisure time, Australians love to spend time outdoors when the sun’s out! While there are many benefits to spending time in the sun, we also need to make sure we’re protected from the sun’s harmful rays.

Shade sails are a great solution for providing protection and shelter to any outdoor space. It can be installed in your home’s outdoor spaces such as balconies, patios and swimming pool areas. They are also commonly used for businesses, car parks, recreational areas, or coffee shops. Shade sails are not only stylish, but they’re also a great economical solution for shelter, and require minimal maintenance after installation.

Planning ahead

Before you install your shade sail, there are a few key things to consider so that you can create a clear plan and get the most out of your shade sail.

Planning is important to help you decide on the right shade for your space, the right position for the shade, or what the size of your shade should be, for instance. Consider the layout of the area and how you plan to use it.

To start planning, think about the following factors:

  • The angle of the sun throughout the day
  • How much surface area the sun reaches
  • What area you want to be covered
  • What the area will be used for (e.g. entertaining guests, kid’s play area, cafe courtyard etc.)
  • What seasons you will be using this area

It is also important to note that some locations, such as a public area or business, will require a permit to install a shade structure.
