If you have ever experienced hot Brisbane summers, then you would know the importance of having proper shade sails in the heat. Queensland has the highest rate of invasive melanoma in the world so the importance of sun protection can’t be overstated. With the right domestic and commercial shade sails, people can enjoy their summer in the refreshing outdoors without having to worry harmful UV rays. However, when it comes to selecting the right type of shade sails sold by different companies, people often don’t know what to look for.
We are going to change that right here.

Some Options to Help You Out In the Process

When you are looking forward to selecting the perfect commercial shade sails for your property, there are some things that you need to keep in mind.

1. Select The Right Fabric

The main reason you have sails is for protection from the sun’s damaging UV rays. If you have a restaurant or a café or if you run a school, you need to ensure that your shade sails aren’t faded or patchy, as they may be allowing UV rays through the fabric leaving the people in your care at risk of sun damage. We recommend all shade sails and structures be inspected at least annually and can do that for you. A good shade sail is an investment in the long term, so make sure that you take a look at the fabric quality, stitching and workmanship because that is really important.

2. Choose Quality

Australian weather conditions are very tough on fabric. When it comes to selecting the perfect shade sails for your business, you need to ensure that you are choosing good quality and make decisions purely on price. Cheap shade sails might save you money initially, but they will end up costing you way more in the long term. Good quality shade sails are engineered and designed with a long life and Australia’s harsh conditions in mind. Versatile Structures shade sails come with a 10-to-15-year warranty.

3. Choose a Custom Design

Here is another tip that will come in very handy to you. When considering your area, it is important to think about the future life of the structure like day-to-day wind conditions, pollutants, contaminants, and airborne debris. Custom designed commercial shade sails meet individual requirements and ensure adequate shade or rain protection.

So, here are some options that you can keep in mind in order to choose the right commercial shades for your needs.
