Rectangular shade sail – covered seating that holds up when the weather turns

A rectangular sail for the patio, the balcony or a seating corner in the yard. The fabric holds a 2000 mm water column, so a passing shower runs off rather than through. Ten sizes span 2 × 2 metres up to 4 × 6 metres.

Why choose this shade sail?

An umbrella shades one chair and needs moving every hour. A sail anchored at four points covers the whole table and stays put all afternoon. Because the weave is sealed, the cushions can stay outside when the sky closes in.

• 2000 mm water column: rain runs off the surface instead of soaking through.
• Up to 98% UV block: the space underneath stays cooler and fabrics below fade more slowly.
• Reinforced corners with D-rings: tension goes into the seam, not into the open fabric.
• Ten sizes: from a two-metre balcony to a terrace at full width.
• Hose-clean: pollen and dust rinse off with a garden hose.

Tension it once and the shade lands in the same place for the rest of the season.

Set the sail with roughly 15 degrees of fall so water drains to one corner and no puddle forms in the middle. Use a spring or a length of rope with some give at each anchor point to absorb gusts. Take it off its fittings before a storm or a hard frost.
