Why do I need a Shade Sail?

March 10, 2011

Coolashade Shade Sails in Spain are the perfect way to add value and protect your property from the harsh Spanish Sun.

Shade sails are a relatively new product in Europe, but they have been installed and proven in Australia for the last 15-20 years and have now been brought to Spain. They are the perfect solution for providing UV protection during the hot summer months and are equally as beautiful as they are resistant to the extreme weather that can be experienced in Spain.

So what exactly is a shade sail? The basic description of a shade sail is that it is a ‘tensile fabric shade structure’ but this is a very loose description of a product that has so many good qualities. A quick look at the photographs on this website will give an excellent impression of what a shade sail looks like when installed. Attractive aren’t they?
Installation is quick and once a shade sail is installed it requires very little maintenance and can be left up in most weather conditions. If a shade sail is installed by a professional installer then there should be no reason that the installation would fail under normal weather conditions. Always ask about the guarantees that are offered before having a shade sail installed.

When thinking about having a shade sail fitted in Spain it is always advisable to seek the best solution for your application and not to rush to the cheap shop and buy a Chinese copy of the Australian material that will, as sure as the sun will shine in August, fail due to inferior manufacturing and materials. The market place is being flooded with cheap imitation shades that are manufactured to such a poor quality that they only last one season, and you can guarantee that when you require a replacement there will be none available, rendering all your hard work with placing the posts and supports in the ground useless. Always seek the highest grade/weight of material that is available, this will usually not be the cheapest but why buy 5-10 times when you only need to buy a quality shade sail once?

Quality Coolashade shade sails are custom-made to fit the area that you wish to shade, whether it is for a communal area, swimming pool, carport, BBQ area or even a terrace or patio. They are available in many colours to blend nicely in with the surroundings. Whatever the situation a cost effective and attractive solution can be achieved.

Purpose made shade sails can also be manufactured to suit any size, shape or design. Higher quality purpose made shade sails are manufactured with stainless steel cables in the perimeter, giving a stable and hassle free installation for many years.

An additional benefit to installing a quality shade sail is the beauty of it which will add value and prestige to any property. It is also a safe and practical way of protecting our family and our possessions from the harmful UV rays we experience in Spain.

Coolashade Shade Sails in Spain offer a complete design and installation service covering the whole of Spain, including the major cities of Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Alicante and Valencia.
