Benefits of waterproof shade sails vs standard shade sails

March 1st, 2014 · Published to Shade Sails

waterproof shade sails When thinking about buying shade sails, one thing that you need to understand is that there are different types to choose from. Among your options are waterproof shade sails and standard shade sails. When choosing which is right for you, it will come down to the one that addresses your particular needs.

Standard shade sails are specifically designed to offer protection against the sun. These are made from fabric that can block as much as 98% of harmful UV rays. When used at home, shade sails can be used to provide shade to your swimming pool, patio, or can even be used to create an outdoor space for homeowners to entertain guests. However, standard shade sails are not designed to keep the space completely dry when it rains. Although they can diffuse water, they are not as effective compared to waterproof shade sails.

If you’re living in a region where unexpected rain showers are regular occurrence and want to make sure everything directly under your shade sail remains dry (furniture, car, etc.), you should seriously consider waterproof shade sails as not only a shade solution, but rain and weather protection as well.  Just like standard shade sails, waterproof shade sails are made from durable fabric however, due to added features, they are both effective in blocking the sun and completely diffusing water when it rains. However, keep in mind that when using waterproof shade sails, you will need to take water run-off into account. You don’t want the water runoff to cause additional problems.
