DIY SHADE SAILS - SHADECLOTH FABRIC
We have been manufacturing Commercial quality Shade Sails at our Brisbane Factory since 1994. In that time we have produced over 20,000 Shade Sails for end users all over Australia and beyond.
ALL OF OUR DIY SHADE SAILS ARE PERIMETER WIRED WITH 316 STAINLESS STEEL CABLE which allows the Fabric to be fully stretched drum tight, giving the Shade Sail its ability to ride the storms. Beware of the imposters selling cheap webbing strap edged Shade Sails which cannot stretch, and are guaranteed to sag once installed.

STAINLESS STEEL PERIMETER CABLE
The Stainless Cable Edge is the single most important feature in the manufacture of a Shade Sail. The imposters who try to sell webbing strap edged, cloth edged and rope edged custom made Shade Sails are not the real deal. If you buy a webbing strap or cloth edged Shade Sail, you cannot stretch the fabric tight, and therefore, you have just wasted your money. The Stainless Steel Cable Edge in a properly made Shade Sail moves through the hem independently of the fabric. The SST cable forces the fabric to stretch drum tight and this is where the Shade Sail gains its ability to ride the storms.
PLANNING YOUR DIY SHADE SAIL
In most cases, a Shade Sail is secured to a combination of Steel Posts cemented into the ground and Brackets and Fittings, Bolted or Screwed to a Building. Path of least resistance is a good rule of thumb when selecting Fixing Points on Built Structure.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR CUSTOM DIY SHADE SAIL
To make a Shade Sail, we need an exact set of absolutely precise measurements to guarantee a perfect fit. The best way to do this is with a Fibreglass Tape attached to the edge of the eyebolt of each fixing point. Give each point a letter starting with A then clockwise around the points marking them B, C, D etc.
To get a Price for your Custom DIY Shade Sail, add up the edge metres of your Shade Sail, from fixing point to fixing point. Choose your preferred Shade Sail Fabric, or Waterproof Shade Sail Fabric. Enter the perimeter measurement into the DIY Shade Sail Price Calculator and choose the number of points on your Shade Sail.
