Creating outdoor spaces that can be used all year round​

 

Shade sails can be an excellent addition to leisure facilities and activity centres providing a variety of benefits. 

​​​

Durability and Strength

Quality made, high tensile shade sails and canopies are made from robust materials like HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) or PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), which can withstand harsh weather conditions, including strong winds, heavy rain, and UV radiation.

 

The strength and durability of these materials ensure that the sails last longer, providing a reliable shade solution for many years.

​

UV Protection

Shade sails are designed to block a significant amount of harmful UV rays (often up to 95%), protecting visitors and guests from sunburn and reducing the risk of skin cancer. And by providing effective UV protection, shade sails create a cooler and more comfortable environment for leisure activities.

​

Aesthetic Appeal

High tensile shade sails come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, allowing them to complement the aesthetics of different leisure facilities. They can be custom-designed to fit specific areas and architectural styles.

 

The sleek and contemporary appearance of these sails can enhance the visual appeal of the facility, making it more attractive to visitors.

​

Versatility

Shade sails can be used in various settings within leisure facilities, including swimming pools, playgrounds, seating areas, sports courts, and outdoor dining spaces.  They can be installed in various configurations, such as overlapping or angled setups, to provide optimal shade and meet specific spatial requirements.

​

Cost-Effectiveness

High tensile shade sails require minimal maintenance compared to other shading structures. They are easy to clean and typically need only occasional inspections and adjustments.

​

By reducing the amount of direct sunlight, shade sails can lower the ambient temperature in the shaded areas, potentially reducing the need for additional cooling and thus saving on energy costs.

​

Safety

The materials used are flame retardant and meet safety standards, providing peace of mind in terms of fire safety.  Shade sails can also help protect against falling debris and light rain, ensuring that the leisure facilities remain safe and usable under various conditions.

​

In summary, high tensile shade sails are an excellent choice for leisure facilities due to their durability, UV protection, aesthetic versatility, cost-effectiveness, and safety features. They provide a practical and stylish solution to enhance outdoor spaces, making them more enjoyable and comfortable for visitors.
