There are generally two types of shade sails: standard shade sails that are used in residential solutions and commercial shade sails suited for larger projects. The difference lies in commercial shade sails having to cover larger areas and need to be made of the highest quality fabric so to withstand larger span tensions and offer maximum stability in stronger wind conditions. These structures are also likely to have more robust anchors and poles that can support the larger, heavier sails. The other differentiator for commercial shade sails is the use of PVC (waterproof) fabrics.
Best applications for commercial shade sails
Custom designs
Generally custom designed solutions are recommended for commercial sun sails as they offer a better fit and enhance the property more than conventional sails can offer. Commercial sun sails also provide all-weather protection which make them ideal for council parks, sporting clubs, childcare centres, hospitality, commercial car parks and a range of custom applications.
Increased footprint
Commercial shade sails and commercial umbrellas are particularly great for restaurants with outdoor dining areas as they allow an establishment to offer comfortable outdoor seating all year round, effectively increasing their footprint and revenue.
Keeping it cool
Besides keeping a property and its customers protected from all weather conditions especially during the intense summer heat and UV exposure, commercial shade sail solutions are also effective to reduce heat gain,
help you reduce your power costs and improve the energy efficiency of your building.
Perfect cover
Nobody wants to leave their cars parked out in the hot sun. Commercial car park shade structures are a popular shade solution to provide protection for people and their vehicles from all external weather conditions including UV rays and hail. Covered Parking Structures also increase a property’s value and can incorporate walkways and lighting to ensure they can be utilized day or night.
Landscapes
Commercial sun sails also add aesthetic value to landscaping projects. They are the perfect addition to gazebos, parks, and children’s playgrounds, protecting the public from damaging UV rays!
Are you looking for high-quality commercial umbrellas to install on your property? First, you will need to determine what type of shade sail you need:
- Fixed sails are perfect for large areas such as car parks and outdoor event venues.
- Retractable sails are designed for flexibility, opening, or closing as required. They are ideal for outdoor restaurants and cafés.
- Custom-made sails can suit any purpose. However, the manufacturer will need to inspect your site beforehand to finalise its design and installation.
Once you have decided, make sure to work with a trusted sun sail supplier in Australia. The best ones can design and deliver custom made commercial shades for architectural design intents. Whether you need commercial sun sails for a park, a school, or commercial landscaping, you can count on them to provide the best and most cost-effective solutions.
