A shade sail is a device to create outdoor shade based on the basic technology as a ship’s sail. Shade sails use a flexible membrane tensioned between several anchor points. While generally installed permanently, they are cheap and easy to set up. They are usually provided above public gathering places such as seating areas and playgrounds in countries where strong sun radiation makes prolonged stays in the open sun unpleasant or dangerous due to sunburn and skin cancer risk.

1. High UV Protection
Shade Sails offer high UV protection from harmful UV rays produced by the sun. Fortunately children are now spending more and more time outdoors however, we need to protect them from the risk of skin damage such as skin cancers.

2. Cooler Play Areas
In the height of summer, most children love playing outside & running around however, they may find themselves getting a little heated and need somewhere to cool down whilst still benefiting from fresh air. 

3. Ventilation
Our shade sails are constructed from a knitted fabric which has tiny mesh holes allowing airflow through the fabric. This means that whilst gaining shade under the shade sail, pupils will also benefits from a pleasant breeze

7. Create a Cool, Shaded Outdoor Learning Area
By investing in a shade sail, you will be offering your staff the chance to relocate their lessons outside when the sun is beaming in on the classrooms making them stuffy and uncomfortable.
