Shade sails have become a popular product for homeowners and business owners looking to add attractive sun protection to their property. Available in various sizes and shapes, these shade solutions are great for shielding large or unusually shaped spaces while offering protection from the elements.
Common Shade Sail Downsides
While you may love the way shade sails look and the benefits they can provide to your outdoor space, it’s important to be aware of a few downsides before you have them installed:
- Wobbling posts: Depending on the model, most shade sails will have three or four support posts. If your shade structure isn’t properly installed, these posts will likely not hold up, especially in windy conditions. Over time, regular use and wear and tear can cause these posts to wobble and lose their structural integrity.
- Sagging sails: Because of the way these shade sails are designed, they could be susceptible to sagging in the middle from the weight of water and debris accumulating on top.
- Lacking durability: If shade sails aren’t installed in the right environment, you’ll risk them getting destroyed. Consult with an expert installation company to see whether your property would support these shade solutions and where the best location for them would be.
