Sun shade sails are an extremely attractive way to provide shade. They can be mounted almost anywhere, to provide shade in customer waiting areas, outdoor mall areas, amusement parks, outdoor eating areas, over playgrounds, etc. These tensioned fabric architecture structures act as a creative alternative to more classic forms of shade structures, canopies, gazebos and pergolas. One of the advantages of shade sails is that they are maintenance-free. For example, in restaurants, they can be used as a replacement for sunbrellas. At home, you can enhance your outdoor living with patio and deck shade sails without the inconvenience of the maintenance that wooden structures such as pergolas require. TricoShade sells small-sized shade sails for residential use, or designs and manufactures unique, attractive, custom shade sails structures for commercial or public projects. The high-density polyethylene shade netting top will not fade, sag, mold or fray over time. (It is better to avoid cheap canvas shade sails on the market for those reasons.)
