Equilateral sails are 3-sided shade canopies that are attached to columns or wall brackets. They can be configured by using a single sail or designed to incorporate numerous sail shades using multiple columns and connection points. By using differing attachment elevations between numerous sails, you can create beautiful architectural design elements that will enhance the space. Shade sails should be limited to 50' on the longest side and should not exceed a 2:1 ratio between the shortest side and the two longest sides averaged together.

The Sun Shade Company's Sun Shade Color Options are plentiful and our shade fabric blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays. Our UV stabilized fabric is created from high-density polyethylene and Raschel knitted to resist fading, abrading, rotting, shrinkage, and unraveling. We also have a unique thread that allows the fabric to "breathe" allowing the hot air to rise and escape. This selection of fabric colors is fire retardant and passes the NFPA 701 and ASTM E84 tests. Most of our traditional shade fabric color offering is California Fire Marshal certified, which is the highest standard for flame resistance. When ordering, please inquire about your color selection being certified and the associated lead time.
