Shade sails can be configured in various ways, shapes and sizes. The most common shade sail design would be the 4 column Hyperbolic (“Hypar” for short). This design consists of 4 columns each in a high to low order. (Required to achieve this form.) This shape helps keep the fabric membrane tight and control any sagging at the center of the shade sail.
At ArchiFab USA, LLC we offer comprehensive design services for both residential and commercial shade applications. With the ability to render an area and provide conceptual shade designs in 3D illustrations, we can show you the design within the actual space. With this design we are also able to provide real time shade analysis by time, day or hour. Once a design has been determined, we can then take the project into engineering.
When considering a shade canopy there a few key topics to look at such as, local building codes or ordinances, or HOA rules or regulations for installing shade canopies.
