Custom Shade Sails – CSSS12-16 is a Premium 12’x16’ Rectangle Commercial Grade Shade Sail. Shade sails transform a simple outdoor setting into a dynamic, eye-catching area. Their remarkably simple yet stylish appearance is used in both residential and commercial applications and will complement a variety of architectural approaches. Shade sails are not only attractive, but they effectively protect an area from the sun without giving a boxed in or restricted feeling. They are an excellent alternative to awnings, umbrellas, carports, and patio enclosures 

Key Features:

• Made in the USA using the highest quality materials.
• $105 worth of hardware included with purchase.
• Marine grade type 316 stainless steel corner rings.
• Double row of locking stitch (not a chain stitch).
• Available in two fabric options (WeatherMax or Polytex).
• Fabric blocks up to 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays.
• Durable webbing and reinforced corners.

Please Note: Each shade sail will have gentle curves along the sides enable proper tension - this ensures that when tension is placed on the shade sail corners, the fabric remains taut and eliminates sagging or flapping in the wind.

What's Included:

• (1) 12 X 16 Rectangle Commercial Grade Shade sail.
• (4) Stainless steel Triangle Ring in each corner.
• (4) Standard Pad eyes for each corner.
• (4) 5/16" diameter turnbuckles (6 1/2" closed distance, 10 1/4" open).

What's Needs to be ordered separately:

• Post Mounts – we only provide the sail, mounting posts or beams need to be sourced from your local hardware store.
• Stainless Steel Eyebolt (Optional)
  • Recommended if looking for a very strong attachment point into concrete with epoxy or for creating a mounting eye on posts or poles.
• Stainless Steel Chain (Optional)
  Recommended if looking to span the distance between a corner of a shade sail and an attachment point.
• Stainless Steel Cable (Optional)
  • Recommended if looking to span the distance between a corner of a shade sail and an attachment point

Fabric Comparison:

Please Note: All water resistant fabrics need to be installed with at least 20% slope so that water does not pool. This is more important for square or rectangular sails with large center area.

Benefits of shade sails:

• Reduces "solar gain" resulting in lower inside air-conditioning costs.
• Does not dry rot or mildew.
• Allows greater use of patios, decks, porches, swimming pools, etc.
• Shades furniture, garden plants, and playground equipment from the sun.
• Draws attention and increases traffic in commercial and retail areas.
• Adds elegance and casual beauty to its environment.
• Virtually maintenance free alternative to awnings, canopies, or umbrellas.
• Creates an inviting outdoor environment shaded from the sun.
• Protects Koi ponds from predatory birds, excess sun, and algae growth.
• Won’t be blown over on windy days.
• Helps prevent sunburn and skin cancer.
• Economical and attractive shelter from the sun.
