Commercial Shade Sail Installation
Commercial shade installation differs from residential shade sail installation needs, usually because of the larger and more professional shade sails that are required for a business, school or other organisation.
Unlike a residential shade structure, where you can try your luck with a DIY installation, a commercial shade structure should be installed by a professional.
As a business, organisation or school responsible for the safety of people using their outdoor spaces, it’s best to install a shade sail by professionals who follow engineering standards and are designed to look high-quality cosmetically speaking.
How to Choose A Quality Shade Sail
It is essential to take the time to consider your options carefully so that you find the right new shade sail for you. Here are some important considerations to make when looking for a quality shade sails.
Fabric type
The type of fabric that you choose will depend on your budget, sun protection and waterproofing needs:
- Shade cloth: Commercial grade shade cloth Offers approximately 90-98% UV protection and a moderate level of waterproofing. It is also generally the cheaper option.
- PVC: This waterproof fabric offers 100% UV protection, costing more than the standard shade cloth.
Waterproof shade sails will suit those living in climates with higher rainfall and outdoor spaces that need to stay dry all year round.
As for maximum UV protection, this is important for regularly used outdoor areas under the Australian sun across the country.
Safety
You need to consider the safety of the shade sails. Instead of bolts to attach the fabric to the posts, look for welding, which prevents rusting. Additionally, reinforced seams will reduce the risk of ripping or collapse of the structure.
Colour
Colour is also an important consideration when choosing a shade sail. You’ll want to select a colour that compliments its surroundings and presents the image you like of your business or organisation.

How much does it cost to install a sail shade?
The cost of shade sail installation depends on an array of factors, including your sail’s total size and desired material. Our sail installations can cost anywhere from $200 (for very large sails) to $1500 (for small sails) per square metre.
How do you attach shade sails?
Shade sails can be attached to installed posts or onto existing structures using additional brackets.
To attach a shade sail, simply hoist it onto the corners with mounting structures, tighten it until the tension is correct, and then pull the turnbuckles to secure the sail.
Is it safe to attach a shade sail to a building?
In most instances, attaching a shade sail to an existing building is both feasible and safe.
However, it is crucial to evaluate the structural integrity and material of the building beforehand to ensure a secure attachment.
What angle should shade sail posts be?
Shade sail posts should be installed at a 5-degree angle, pointing away from the centre of the shade structure. This is to ensure maximum stability and safety of the structure.
