The Most Popular Shade Sails

By Sabarri Haque , last updated April 12, 2011

Shade sails are a superb and popular way to protect yourself against the harmful ultra-violet rays of the sun. On average, most shade sails offer up to 99% protection, and they may be used on a variety of hotspots for your outdoor space.

Why Use Shade Sails?

Commercial businesses also have the benefits of using shade sails to both decorate their premises and attract customers to their space. They offer an alternative to the otherwise confined means of providing shade, such as a closed in patio, awning, or umbrella. They are also suitable for picnics and temporary parties, whether you host one in your own backyard or a publicly held vicinity. They provide protection throughout the year, except wintertime. They should not be hung in snowy conditions because they can not hold the weight of the snow. They are otherwise adept at handling rainfall, provided that you correctly angle your shade sail by 20 degrees to prevent a pool of water from forming on top of the fabric. There are many types of shade sails available, though there are a few brands that actually make the popularity cut.

The Coolaroo Brand

As mentioned above, shade sails are available for both private and commercial use. Few brands manufacture shade sails specifically for both purposes. The Coolaroo brand is recommended and offered for most websites that sell shade sells, and both customers and business owners alike recommend it. The Coolaroo brand is renown for its variety of sails, and the company offers beautiful varieties of square shade sails. You have the option of purchasing a shade sail from the company in 9 different colors, all of which range from a regular blue, white, to an earthier tone such as Brunswick green. The most popular among those sold from the Coolaroo company include 11 foot Coolaroo Deluxe Square and Triangle Shade sails that are priced at $170 and $110 respectively. The larger varieties, the 16 by 5 foot Deluxe Triangle Sail and the 17 by 9 foot Deluxe Square Shade Sail are also among the top sellers.

The Coolaroo brand is also the only one that sells shade sails for a temporary party; they are shaped like a right triangle and are available in 5 types of fabric choices. You can opt to purchase each based on your preferences of whether you need a smaller or a larger product. It is also advised to inspect the space and all possible circumstances to have your next shade sail meet your needs. All Coolaroo products have a fantastic 10 year warranty, and they come equipped with the necessary parts and accessories that will be required of you when you hoist your shade sail above ground.

Other Brands of Shade Sails

Other popular choices include the Sunbrella brand, which is especially popular for commercial use. The prices range from $225 to $500 dollars. The triangular Sunbrella shade sails are highest in popularity because they are aesthetically pleasing and look like kites soaring above the sky. For commercial use, the shade sails ranging between 8 feet to 15 feet are among the most popular. Square options are usually more popular for covering a docked boat.

While on the topic of popular commercial choices, the Premium brand shade sail can not also be ignored as it is consistently among the top sellers. The Premium brand makes it top sales with shade sails that are more rectangular or square shaped than the Sunbrella brand. Because of its very shape, the dimensions that most customers seek out for the Premium brand are between 10 to 17 feet. Lastly, the Ingenua brand is the newest too arrive, though it has not yet made the popularity cut yet. The Ingenua brand promises to offer high end quality products for commercial grade shade sails.

Waterproof Shade Sails

When it comes to waterproof shade sails, the Sunbrella brand, again makes the cut. Not only does the brand boast 98% protection, it is the most widely bought amongst customers who specifically seek waterproof sails. Like with any product, however, it is important that you put it up correctly to ensure protection and adequate coverage from rainfall or other unpredicted weather conditions. Diverting, another category that you may want to delve into is which brand makes the cut for the most popular among those discounted. The Coolaroo brand, again, is among those, and top of the line. Discounted Coolaroo products range from $40 to $300.

Some wholesalers may advertise the prices of the aforementioned brands, the Coolaroo, Sunbrella, and Premium brands differently. The popularity of the shade sails are a predictable indicator of the quality of the products. If that does not appeal to you, then you should break down your selection by understanding what size, color, price, and material is most feasible for you.

Whichever brand and style you choose, once you have your shade sail, you will wonder how you ever did without it!
