Sailing into the sunset is one thing, but with a modern sail shade available for your home, garden, patio, pool or workplace, you can enjoy the sun at any time of the day without the worry of harmful rays, or the discomfort of heat.

A sail shade offers a solution which addresses several issues at the same time, and is such a diverse and adaptable product that its uses are wide ranging. Whether you enjoy your garden or patio, an outdoor swimming pool or spa, or perhaps even a children’s play area, sail shades provide up to 90% protection against UV radiation.

It is essential that in this country we are aware of the dangers of UV radiation, because it’s all too easy to write our weather off as being soggy and grey most of the time. Admittedly our winters aren’t much, but during the spring and summer, and increasingly even into autumn, we are experiencing rising temperatures, and more hours of sun.

This inevitably means that we are exposed to more UV radiation, and the fact that cancer is on the rise, with skin cancers totalling half of all diagnosed cancers in the UK, it’s a problem that’s very real indeed.

A sail shade protects not only our skin whilst we’re out gardening, relaxing on the patio, swimming, or even enjoying a barbecue with friends, but perhaps even more importantly sail shades help to protect our children’s skin.

We’re all very much more conscious of the fact that our children need to get out, but many of us are hesitant about letting them wild on the streets and out of our sight. That’s why gardens and patios are becoming play areas, with sand pits and garden toys to keep the children happy, active and enjoying fresh air rather than being stuck inside watching television and playing on the computer.

But whilst we can list the dangers of using computers for too much of the time, and are aware of dangers that may be lurking round every street corner, we can become alarmingly ignorant of the more tangible dangers of letting our children play in our own gardens for hours at a time.

Children’s skin is very sensitive and even more prone to sun damage than our own. For this reason having a sail shade fitted to provide shaded areas within our garden or patio spaces is essential in helping to protect their skin.

The alternative is either to lather them from head to toe in factor 50 every half hour, insist that they sit under a parasol, plant an orchard or go through several months of negotiation with the council for planning permission to build a huge gazebo or patio shelter.

But because sail shades usually require no planning permission, can be installed within a couple of hours, provide up to 90% UV protection and are large enough to cover significant areas of space, they represent the most cost effective, practical solution. But even more than this, sail shades represent one of the most attractive, stylish and contemporary ways of adding a design feature to an outdoor area.

Whether you choose a square sail shade or a triangular shade, and whether you choose one single sail shade or an arrangement of several to create a striking three dimension structure, the one thing you can be sure of is that the result will look fantastic.

Style, protection, practicality and security all available in a single solution which is affordable, quick to install and incredibly easy to maintain, sail shades are the outdoor solution for the 21st century in the UK.

Able to withstand almost any weather our climate can throw at them, sail shades can be left up for most of the year, and need only a quick wash with a hose pipe to keep them looking ship shape. From gardens to community centres, workplaces to playgrounds, pools to schools, a sail shade is one of the most versatile ways to enjoy the outdoors and the sun safely and comfortably.
