Fabric
Our Fabric Range
There are a host of Shade Sail Fabrics available of varying quality. Rather than overwhelm with many choices of Shadecloth, a lot of which are almost identical, (some brands are even manufactured in the same overseas factory) we have assembled what we consider to be a prime selection of high quality, lightweight commercial grade Shadecloth. These fabrics have been chosen from manufacturers with high production standards, and all have a UV rating between 92% and 98%. The colours range from modern and vibrant to conservative and traditional.
Our Premium Waterproof Fabric Range
Knittex Dri-Z Waterproof Fabric is a combination of premium Z16 Shade Fabric and a clear polyethylene waterproof coating. It is lightweight and easy to install at 280 gsm.
Z16 is a knitted high density polyethylene fabric.
The waterproof coating is ultraviolet stabilised polyethylene.

Our Shade Sails
The Importance of the Stainless Steel Perimeter Cable
All of our Shade Sails are perimeter wired with 316 Stainless Steel Cable. This is the only way to fully stretch the fabric drum tight, which gives your Shade Sail the ability to ride out storms and strong winds. A Shade Sail with a webbing strap edge is a cheap imitation of the real thing, and cannot provide sufficient tension to ensure a long life for your Shade Sail. Webbing strap edged Shade Sails are guaranteed to sag once installed.
Shade Sails with a Stainless Steel Cable perimeter will stay crisp and new looking for many years to come. With some simple to follow instructions for your customer on re-tensioning the turnbuckles, the SST Cable edged Shade Sail will be standing strong long after the webbing strap edged Sails have bitten the dust.
