Turn-Key Process
The installation of a shade sail is fairly seamless with 5 steps to the final installation of your new custom shade sail. The first step is an on-site consultation with one of our shade experts to determine where you want the shade sail to be placed. At this time, we will take accurate measurements and photos of the area to help us come up with a conceptual design provided in 3D renderings.

The next step would be the structural steel fabrication and excavation of the footings. A big misconception of shade sails is that they can be installed with lighter components. This is far from the truth. Shade sails must be engineering to withstand up 90 MPH wind gust and in some locations up 140MPH.
During the fabrication and excavation phases is where most of the work is completed. We typically use no less than 4-inch round or square columns and never dig a footing less than 4 feet deep. Common footing depths can be up to 6-8 feet.
The next step would be to measure for the shade sail which is made custom for every project. After the customer is to Choose Their Fabric. We then fabricate the shade sail from these measurements and install it. Your Shade Sail project is now complete.
