Custom Shade Sails

Buy a shade sail cut to your exact measurements, without booking an install. Tell us your post positions, corner heights and span. We engineer the sail, fabricate it from commercial-grade shade fabric, then have it ready for pickup or freight so you can fit it yourself.

Residential umbrellas

Shade a pool, patio, courtyard or outdoor dining area with an Australian-made Pacific Classic cantilever umbrella that rotates, tilts and closes away when not required.

Our process

How it works

One of our designers comes to you, takes the measurements, talks through fabric and fixing options, and follows up with a design and a fixed-price quote. No obligation, no cost and nothing made until you've seen exactly how it will look.

  1. 01 Consult

    A consultant visits your site to talk through design ideas and give you a quote, no cost, no obligation.

    • Assess your shade needs
    • Plan the sail dimensions and layout
    • Position posts and fixtures
    • Handle Council approvals where needed
    • Simple sails? We can often quote over the phone.
  2. 02 Design
    • Our consultants understand shade sail design, fabric characteristics and fabrication techniques so our designs are stylish, aesthetically pleasing and practical.
    • Our consultants assist you with your concept and provide design advice based on extensive experience.
  3. 03 Fabricate & Engineer

    Cut, sewn and engineered in-house, to Australian standards, using commercial-grade fabric.

    • Custom designed to fit each unique application.
    • Use latest 3D CAD engineering software to design shade sails.
    • Laser technology is used to cut sails, increasing accuracy and minimising waste.
  4. 04 Install

    You will be working with experienced, innovative consultants who plan, carry out and complete your project from beginning to completion.

    • Design the shade sail and fixings according to engineering principles.
    • Order sail posts that are structurally and aesthetically appropriate for the particular job, and powder coated to an appropriate colour.
    • Complete the ground works safely and in a clean and timely manner.
    • Install the new shade sail.
  5. 05 Ongoing maintenance

    Sail City offer yearly maintenance comprised of taking down the shade sail prior to winter, checking its condition and providing advice on any repairs or faulty tensioning points. We also wash the shade sail if required, and install it in spring ready for the summer months.
