Our Shade Sail Fabrics

Here at Creative Shade Solutions, we offer a variety of shade sail fabrics from a host of different companies. All of the fabrics we offer are commercial grade and come with a minimum of 10 years UV warranty (excluding Driz, which comes with 5 years UV warranty). The sail is manufactured locally in North Brisbane using Coats 8 or PTFE thread. These threads are highly resilient to UV so you can be confident the stitching won’t deteriorate for years to comes – a good thread should last 10 years or more.
The corners of the shade sails have reinforced webbing and a minimum of 4mm stainless steel wire around the perimeter of the sail. Each corner has a slider attached to allow the wire to pivot around the corner, which helps to distribute the force.
