Pool Shade Sail
Whether you need a slight relief on a sunny day or want to take a short break from your activities or work, a dip in the pool can be the best solution. But you wouldn’t want the intense heat to distract you from your fun and relaxation. That is why you will need a pool shade sail.
Mornington Peninsula Shade Sails offers high-grade shade sails that will block the sun from your face as you jump and swim in your pool.
What are the best shade options for a pool?
There are different types of shades for your pool. You can install awnings, a fixed umbrella, retractable sails, pergolas, cantilevers, and shade sails. But if you want value for your money, swimming pool shade sails or pool shade structures are your best choice.
One great thing about pool shade sails is that they provide excellent sun protection for the pool. They come in different shapes, sizes, and colours, giving more flexibility to homeowners so they can install sun protection equipment that will match their house’s overall aesthetics. Plus, it won’t cost you a fortune compared to building a permanent shade structure.
Aside from the size, colour, and shape, it is important to consider the height of the shade sail if you plan to install it over your pool. The fixed height must be at least 2.4 metres from the ground.
Moreover, there should be a height variation to prevent the cloth from catching wind and flapping. Make sure to remember these, especially when you’re installing a DIY pool shade.
How high should a pool shade sail be?
How do you keep rain from pooling on a shade sail?
Our outdoor shade sails don’t only protect you from the harmful rays of the sun. They can also serve as a shelter from the pouring rain.
The problem with that, though, is rainwater can pool in the middle of the shade sail, especially when it’s not installed correctly. As pooled water stays on the material for a long time, its lifespan will shorten, and you may need to install another shade sail.
In most cases, professionals install the device at an angle so that the water will just run off. Another solution is to install the cloth in a hypar twist—an effect created by having opposite high and low attachment points.
