Sail Shades – The Coolest Shade Around?
When you consider the French nation, you think of fashion and style. But there seems to be one new fashion trend where the French are lagging behind and what is all the more surprising is that they are now being beaten by the Australians! Summer in France can be very hot, especially in the south and some form of protection or shade is important to have the ability to enjoy the “outdoor life”.
No wonder that, during the summer time, the local stores are full of new “shade solutions” – parasols and pergolas to help you generate a shady environment on your terrace. Most of us don’t have the years of patience needed to grow an old vine or wisteria which would provide the “ideal shade solution” – no we need a quicker, man-made solution – but still one that has plenty of style…
Using large pieces of material to provide shade is not rocket science and has been around since Egyptian times. It has been reported that sailors in open boats were the first to make use of sail canvas as a means of providing shade. While this was doubtless effective, the sail canvas was a tough and inflexible material that would not fit into modern garden design. Recent technical advances have allowed the production of a new type of sail cloth from a woven fabric that still provides a high level of shade protection but has the added benefits of being breathable, light and flexible. This fabric is now being widely used and has allowed the rapid growth of shade sails as a realistic alternative to conventional parasols, gazebos and awnings.
It is interesting to note that it was the Australians who pioneered this new technology and these shade structures are now very common “down under”. In Europe, shade sails are relatively new and so far only the “early adopters” have been applying them. However, this is set to change are more and more people start to see the benefits of introducing some architectural style at the same time as providing adequate shade.
The best, high quality Shade Sails are produced in Australia and exports to Europe are growing fast. Sail Shade World is the world’s largest manufacturer with over 24,000 satisfied consumers. Their sales are of the highest quality and come with a 10 year guarantee.
Sail Shade Benefits
Unlike the early Shade Sails made from sail canvas, modern Sail Shades are manufactured from a form of knitted material, which provides the Sail Shade a natural level of expansion and means that Sail Shade should be correctly mounted and tensioned. This enables for interesting architectural three dimensional results to be achieved with Sail Shades.
An extra advantage from the knitted material is that it enables the sail shade to “breathe”, permitting warm air from below the cloth to leak instead of be trapped underneath. This gives a particularly “cool shade” impact.
There are a variety of shape and colour choices available in modern Shade Sail designs – grey, beige and green are very popular. The shade sails need to be attached to secure fixing points and are secured with tensioning devices. The installation can easily be accomplished by two people. It is advisable to install a quick release clip at each corner to allow the Shade Sail to be taken down and stored in windy conditions.
