Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are sail shades?
Sail shades, also known as sun sails or shade sails, are versatile outdoor structures designed to provide shade and UV protection in various settings. They typically consist of a flexible, high-density polyethylene fabric stretched between several anchor points, forming a canopy-like structure.
-
How do sail shades work?
Sail shades work by utilizing tension and geometry to create a taut fabric canopy. The fabric is stretched between multiple anchor points, such as poles, walls, or other sturdy structures, and secured tightly to create a stable shade structure. This design allows them to block sunlight effectively while allowing airflow, making them ideal for outdoor spaces like patios, gardens, playgrounds, and pool areas.
-
Why choose a Zephyr sail shade?
Our waterproof sail shades feature a tight weave that efficiently sheds rainwater, keeping you dry even during sudden downpours. Unlike their counterparts, these shades effectively trap heat, providing a cozy retreat from the chillier British climate. By angling the sails for proper drainage, you'll enjoy the added benefit of staying dry without compromising on comfort.
For those who prefer the classic approach, Zephyr offers a breathable range available in standard and premium options. Utilizing a specialized knitting process, these shades allow heat to escape while shielding you from the sun's rays. Though not waterproof, they ensure a consistently cool and comfortable shaded area.
With over 300 sail shades in various colors, shapes, and sizes, Zephyr provides options to suit every taste and space. Our sails are crafted from rot-proof materials and feature sturdy grade 304 stainless steel rings for enduring quality. Easy to install and clean, they offer a hassle-free solution for transforming your patio or outdoor area.
What's more, most Zephyr sail shades are backed by a minimum 2-year warranty, ensuring peace of mind and lasting enjoyment of your outdoor space. Experience the best of both worlds with Zephyr Sail Shades—where innovative design meets British weather resilience.

Do sail shades provide UV protection?
