The Shade Sail Shop

Measurements of the shade sails are taken from the buckle to buckle along the nominal straight line of the sails. They are manufactured with a curved edge so that the tensioning can be applied evenly across the entire surface, if the sails were a square piece of fabric with no curved edges, there would be no way to apply even tension across the entire surface of the fabric. Please note the curvature will vary slightly between shapes and sizes.

Download our free shade sail installation guide and we will show you how our pre-made sails are measured, which will help you to avoid purchasing the wrong size shade sails.

Shady Lady tip – It is always recommended that you purchase your shade sail before installing your fixing accessories.

Please check online for availability of sizes and colours.
