If you live in Perth or run a business here or anywhere in Western Australia chances are you are looking for shade structures to shelter you from the hot summer sun. You might have heard about sun sails or even seen them around in Perth and other parts of Australia. Sun sails, also known as shade sails are a great shade option for residential and commercial properties; at Outdoor Blinds Perth, we have them available in different shapes.
However, since they commonly have an appearance similar to ship sails, they are widely known as shade sails. With that being said, not many people are familiar with sun sails, and why they need them, so this article is created for anyone wondering if they need sun sails.
What are retractable shade sails you see in Perth?
Retractable shade sails and other types of shade sails commonly seen in Perth are made using flexible material. These shades are an alternative to more permanent outdoor shade options such as pergolas. While shade sails can not replace outdoor blinds, they offer you a quick and easy way to get shade for your lawn and other open spaces.
For example, if you have a kid’s play area that gets too much sun in summer, you can quickly set up support structures and install sun sails to create shade for that area.
Even when shade sales are installed on independent steel structures, they can withstand strong winds, and when they are installed on masonry structures, their ability to withstand wind increases significantly. Since standard shade sails that we offer come with the porous fabric, they are not waterproof; however, we provide specialized shade sails that are 100% waterproof.
With that being said, even the standard water-resistant sun sails we offer can stop light rain. If you get our twin sail design, the water-resistance of even the standard non-waterproof sails increases significantly.
Do I need outdoor sun sails in Perth?
The thing about solar sails is that they are easy to install and takedown, so they allow you to take them down in winter when you want to get winter sun. Here in Perth, the July weather does get chilly, and that is when you can take down the sun sails and enjoy the sun. On the other hand, more permanent outdoor shade structures do not offer you the liberty to install and take them down when needed.
However, the main reason we recommend sun sails to our customers in Perth is that their support structure doesn’t require any ground space. On the other hand patio’s require ground space which can shrink your useable outdoor space. So if you have limited outdoor space to build a shade structure, you need to get sun sails installed for your property.
The different design and style options available for sun sails make sun sails one of the most attractive shade solutions you can get in Perth.
