Sail Shade Canopy
Overlapping tensioned triangular sails on separate masts, giving broken shade over open areas at lower cost than a full membrane roof.
| Sail size | Typically 5 m – 12 m per sail |
|---|---|
| Height | 3 m – 6 m at the high corner |
| Shade factor | Typically 85% – 95% |
| Structure | Steel masts with tensioning hardware |
| Covering | HDPE knitted shade fabric |
| Design wind speed | Site-specific calculation |
| Fire rating | DIN 4102 B1 / M2 flame retardant |
| Fixings | Hot-dip galvanised steel base plates and connectors |
Figures are indicative for the standard system. Span, height and wind loading are confirmed per project against the site survey before order.
Why this system
Where it works
- Overlapping sails cover irregular areas that a rectangular roof cannot.
- Knitted HDPE breathes, reducing wind load compared with solid membrane.
- Common over playgrounds, seating areas and pool decks.
- Not rainproof — specify membrane if water shedding is required.
Supplied as
Rental or manufacture
This structure is available both ways. On rental it arrives with the crew, is installed, maintained for the hire period and dismantled. Manufactured, it is built to your dimensions, anchored to a prepared base and handed over with the anchor and load details.
Anchoring is chosen for the ground: ballast weights or ground plates on asphalt and paving, cast-in bolts where a foundation exists or can be poured.
