Summer is the season we look forward to all winter long. Playing and relaxing in the fresh air is a welcome relief, but your outdoor spaces can get hot. If you have a suitable area for them, putting in gazebos and canopies can be a great way to add some shade to your space. When you want something less permanent, sun shade sails are a great choice for creating shade on your patio. You can use a sun shade to make your patio cooler and make your outdoor spaces more appealing on the hottest summer days.
One of the best things about sun sail shades is how many great shapes they come in. You can buy a square or rectangle, or you can opt for a triangular sun shade for a dynamic appearance. You can also layer shades to cover more space or give a new look. Patio sails tend to work well since you don't need to commit to construction. You can also easily take them with you when you move. If you are wondering how to install a sun shade sail, it is very simple. You will likely find instructions in the package of your sail, but the basics are easy. Since you need a lot of tension to keep shade sails from flapping, you should attach them to sturdy points. Use a stud in your house and other anchors that won't bend. If you don't have a good option for one point, a thick metal pole anchored with a few inches of concrete works well. Use the provided hardware and additional wire to tie down and tighten the sail. One side will need to be lower so rain will naturally run off the material.
There are excellent brands to choose from. Bed Bath & Beyond has some great options for buying a sun shade sail. Coolaroo® shade sails are some of the best on the market. This maker has a wide range of styles, colors, and sizes to match your needs. Their sails hold up well, so you can enjoy your sail shade for years to come. ShelterLogic® is another outstanding brand to consider for a patio shade. Most of their shades are square or triangular.
