This is the shade sail we supply with the mounting kit packed in the same box, and that is the point of the set: a sail is only as good as the hardware it is strained with, so the turnbuckles and rope come with it rather than being chased separately on site. The cloth is a knitted HDPE with UV resistance in the yarn, cut to the span and finished with a turned hem and reinforced corners. That makes the set suit a car bay, a driveway or a garden span, and it means the cover can be rigged the day it arrives.
A sail is only as good as the hardware it is strained with, which is why this one ships with the mounting kit in the box. The turnbuckles and rope come with the cover rather than being chased separately on site, so a car bay or a garden span can be rigged the day the parcel arrives instead of waiting on a second order.
Most complaints about a shade sail trace back to the fixing rather than the cloth: a cover strained with the wrong hardware flaps, works loose at the corner and tears out. Supplying the turnbuckles and rope with the sail removes that variable, because the hardware in the box is matched to the corner fixings on the cover. The cloth itself is a knitted HDPE with UV resistance in the yarn, so the shade rate holds across a season, and the mesh stays open enough that air moves under the sail.
The set is used over a car bay, across a driveway, over a garden seating span and over a courtyard where the cover has to come down and go back up through the year. Because the sail is cut to the span and the kit is matched to it, the same product covers a single car bay and a wider garden span. Households covering beds under the same mesh often pair it with a planting bag, and the wider shade net range covers the roll goods where a cover is run out and weighted rather than rigged.

The cover is made in the colours a buyer asks for rather than one stock shade, so a car bay can be matched to a courtyard without mixing suppliers. The hem is turned and stitched and the corners are reinforced, which is what lets the sail be strained hard on the turnbuckles without the weave pulling open at the fixing. A knitted monofilament net covers the same idea where a finer weave is wanted, while this set covers the car bay and garden job.
Span, shape, shade rate and colour are all made to order, so the first detail to confirm is the points you are rigging to and the area under them. Sail and kit ship in one export package. Buyers tracking how tensioned sails perform across a season can follow trade coverage such as HortiDaily and FreshPlaza for what is being installed.
What is in the mounting kit?
Turnbuckles and rope sized to the corner fixings on the sail, packed with the cover, so the hardware is matched to the sail rather than bought separately.
Is this a mesh sail or a solid one?
It is a knitted HDPE mesh, so air moves under the cover and light rain passes through. Where a cover has to shed water, a polyester sail is the better fit.
Can I order a different size, shape or colour?
Yes. Span, shape, shade rate and colour are all made to order. Tell us the points you are rigging to and we will advise.
