Commercial Vertical Shade Sails

Commercial Shade Sails Elite Auto 1.8

We just completed this fun vertical shade sail project in Tempe, Arizona. This project consisted of a replacement hip canopy top which we did in Commercial 95 shade cloth Desert Sand. The original shade cloth started to rip so the customer opt to have it replaced before it became an issue.

The majority of the project was the installation of a custom vertical shade sail which was installed on a easterly facing side of the build. This shade panel did replace a design that had failed a few years back which was installed with non-welded eyelets which had bent and become weak eventually braking an ripping the shade panel according the customer.

We came in with a tensile shade solution for the customer by welding 5 plasma cut tabs to existing structure and tensioning a custom made vertical shade sail with grommets on the bottom edge for better shade. The bottom lace on portion of the sail laces onto a cable tensioned between the tilt concrete wall and the supporting column of the Awning of the building.

The shade cloth used for the vertical shade sail was Commercial 95 shade cloth sewn with Tenara Thread.
What do you think you could use a vertical shade sail for?
