FAQ
Do shade sails provide effective UV protection?
Yes, modern shade sail fabrics are designed to block a high percentage of harmful UV rays, often upwards of 90%. This makes them especially popular in schools, playgrounds and outdoor dining areas where sun safety is a priority. The level of protection depends on the type of fabric chosen, so selecting the right grade is important for long-term effectiveness. Proper installation and tensioning also ensure the fabric performs at its best.
Are council approvals needed for shade sail installations?
In many cases, particularly for larger structures or permanent installations, local councils may require approvals or permits. This is especially true if the sail is attached to buildings or erected in a public space. Smaller residential sails often don’t need council approval, but requirements vary by location. It’s a good idea to check with your council before starting the project to avoid delays or unexpected costs.
How long do shade sails typically last?
The lifespan of a shade sail depends on the fabric type, exposure to elements, and how well it is maintained. High-quality fabrics can last 10 years or more when properly cared for, while cheaper alternatives may degrade faster under constant UV exposure. Regular cleaning and ensuring correct tension can extend their service life. Re-stitching or replacing fittings may also be required over time to keep the structure safe and effective.
