Portable Sail Shade Kits FAQs

Why do I need a portable sun sail shade?

When selecting the right size for your space, you need to ensure the size of the sail shade is slightly smaller than the area you’d like to cover. For best results, allow at least 50 cm of distance between the anchor points and the corners of the sail shade to ensure it is properly taut. This will prevent the sail shade from flapping in the wind and potentially causing damage to the fixing points. For more information, view our guide on how to install a sail shade.

Why does my shade sail sag in the middle?

Our portable sun shades create shade in your garden, helping to block some of the sun’s UV rays from reaching your skin. Not only do they provide a break from the sunshine, many of our kits can be used as windbreakers on blustery days.

Because they're portable, you can move the shade sails around with ease and adjust the angle they're at as the sun moves. You don't even have to use them in your own garden; take them along to a picnic in the park or your next camping trip and enjoy all of the benefits away from home.

What types of portable shade sail kits are there?

Our range includes a variety of portable shade sail kits, which is everything you need to successfully set up your sail. We have options with sturdy frames, which are a good choice for windier locations, as well as sails that can be fixed to the ground using rope.

Our kits are available in a selection of sizes so you can have as much or as little shade as you need.

How deep do posts need to be for sail shades?

Footings for posts for sail shades up to 16ft 5 inches should be 400mm (15.8 inches) square and 800mm (31.5 inches) deep. For larger sizes, this should ideally be 400mm x 1200mm (15.8 inches x 47.2 inches). For more information, see our shade sail installation guide.
