Keeping the Flag Flying – Making the Most of Shade Sails with Shade Sail Posts

The popularity of shade sails is increasing exponentially. Since their introduction to the UK domestic market, they've fast become one of the most popular ways to furnish an outside space. Their neat, attractive lines, excellent sun protection and tough cloth have made them number one choice with home owners throughout the length and breadth of Britain. In order to keep them working and in tip top condition, the right shade sail posts should be used to mount them.

The thing about a shade sail is this: it's very strong, which means it's also quite heavy. Shade sail cloth is impregnated with a UV resistant preparation, as well as heavy duty weather proofing. It's tough, it's thick and it's designed to hold a rigid shape - all attributes that add to the overall weight of the things. Plus, they tend to be secured in groups – overlapping each other so that they look like the sails of a clipper ship setting out for distant lands. That means they need strong, lightweight poles, capable of supporting the combined weight of more than one sail – shade sail posts, purpose built and fitted.

The only way to ensure that shade sails are fitted to posts capable of holding them, is to buy the poles that have been designed to support them. Shaded Nation, the company that imports the shade sails themselves (selling them either off the rack or cut to bespoke sizes), also stocks galvanised posts and poles, specifically designed to support them. These shade sail posts work with both "flavours" of sail – suspending either triangular or square cut sails of shade cloth from an extremely strong welded lug. The posts are fully tested to comply with UK safety regulations (which they have more than exceeded) and available in a range of colours, powder coated to match whatever shade of sail cloth is being used.

These posts and poles can be installed anywhere, providing support for shade sails used in patios, carports and as walkway covers and swimming pool awnings – as well as more "fancy" applications, like creating an open air dining room for a celebratory meal. The shade sail posts can be roof mounted, deck mounted, sunk in earth or concreted – allowing them to support shade sails in as many positions as their versatility decrees. Like the sails themselves, the posts will stand up in most normal weather conditions – and they're equipped with failsafe elasticised fastenings as backup in case the sail's primary attachment is torn away.

Shade sails make a garden or outside area a truly pleasant place to be in, offering as much UV protection as a factor 85 sun cream. Their sculptural appearance and modern lines make them equally at home in any environment, turning patios into areas reminiscent of trendy riverside cafes and making gardens look like art galleries. It would be a shame to risk losing them by installing them on insufficient support. Buying proper shade sail posts is a sure way to protect the investment they represent – in terms of protection, aesthetic appeal and longevity.

Sun Shade Sail Q&A

What do you want you want?

Doing things through, which Unhand the words of broken bricks in the face and want passionate reasons as the way we present the mass of waste created, but are given only vague bitterness and a bit of poetry when you can afford to empty inside, without giving to his own head in drip and dark shadows ambiguous expression on his face is hidden behind the smallest blade of grass in the garden and they think that the road is a flower and green sharpen the knife ambush their desires, their pale and swollen farce, never sail on the horizon in a nice tag, they have not won the wounds that have not slept with dogs in the summer and have the sensation of red breath of despair, the terrible chaos, waiting on the edge of the sun to burn you with them, but only whisper, you can only barely whisper.

Using the metaphor of a "green dagger is so sinister unknowingly made a call on my bad side ... threat This poem was brilliant

is too hot for my Galah?

34 degrees today and I have an off Galah with a shade sail on its aviary to keep the sun out of her, but I wondered if I should bring in a cage inside the house they bought yesterday? birds have to leave the heat?

We covered 40 hours, 39 days before and 38 today. Galahs still flying in the sky .... Seriously, 34 years is quite tolerant of temp galahs and even the nature here is flying in a hot climate. While yours has a bit of shade all day, fresh water and food, maybe a little big of vegetation like branches with rubber sheets that she should be well. If you're really worried get a blanket and bury him and place this over 1 / 2 of the aviary. Also a bowl of boiling water may want to try to cool down or give you a taste of the hose a few times. Ice cubes in water to keep the water very cold.
