Shade Sail Fabrics
How to choose a shade sail fabric that looks great, provides the result you want and is resistant to fading, sagging, holes and other costly problems
With so many fabrics on the market it can be difficult to choose the right one for your home or business. Choosing the wrong fabric will be one of the most costly mistakes you could make as it may give you a sail that doesn’t meet your needs, doesn’t compliment your home or business and doesn’t last the test of time.
Although there are many different grades (quality) of fabric, there are two main types:
The main difference is the amount of water that can pass through the fabric. Water-resistant or permeable fabric will allow a small amount of water to pass through (usually just a fine spray during light rain and possibly droplets during heavy rain) while water-proof or impermeable fabric will keep water out completely.
Both types of fabrics offer differing degrees of UV and shade protection depending on the colour and rating.
