Shade sails offer an environmentally and wallet-friendly solution for reducing the need for electrical cooling products such as fans and air conditioners. Check your council building permit approvals.

As most shade sails are made from lightweight yet sturdy materials, they can sometimes do away with the need for supporting structures like posts and beams, which in turn cuts down the installation costs of wood and steel. View the shade sail self-installation guide to save even more on costs.
