Here is a great PowerPoint that shows you the 5 essential things you need to know before buying your shade sail. You can also visit our Buyer's Guide page on our website https://voiledombragefrance.fr/buyers-guide.php

1. Welcome to the Buyer’s
Guide to Shade Sails
5 things you need to know

3. They are shower proof
but not fully waterproof

4. The sail has a fabric
that allows it to breathe

5. They will protect you from
a light shower
but not a heavy shower

6. We advise that you install
them
with a slope of 15 degrees to
help the rain run off the surface

8. If they are correctly
installed
they can withstand high
winds

9. The wind force will be
transmitted from
the sail into the mountings so
they must be secure

10. The amount of tension
depends on the size of the
sail

11. 30-50kg of tension
will be needed in each
corner

12. High quality fittings and a
reinforced border
also help to resist the wind
force

14. They absorb over 90% of
harmful UV rays

15. The fabric is breathable
which allows hot air to escape
through and give you a cool shade

17. The most common are
triangles, squares and
rectangles

18. There is a limited range
of sizes and colors in the
‘standard’ range

19. Custom sails are available
in a wider range of shapes
and colors, but are more
expensive

21. A 4 sided sail will provide
more shade than a 3 sided
sail

22. To cover a larger area
multiple sails can be
superimposed

23. Smaller sails will be less
affected by the wind

24. Standard quality material
is suitable for residential
applications

25. For larger sails &
commercial applications
a heavier grade of material is
best
