Our staff was overwhelmed with the amount of interest people had in shade sails and our Suntech permanent umbrella.

Most projects consisted of backyard renovations and they were looking for a shade sail over their pool or Barbeque area. Using shade sails we can fit just about any area.

The residential shade sail market really seems to be taking off…

A few the of most common questions through the weekend were:

“How long do shade sails last?”
– Our most common question. almost all shade cloth we work with warrants for 10 years against sun degradation. We off a 2-year workmanship warranty. Done right with very little maintenance your shade sail should last you up to 10 years in Arizona

“How much do shade sails cost?”
– Most our turnkey shade sail installations within Arizona ranges from $18 dollars a square foot to $50 dollars a square foot.

“Can you connect a shade sail to my home?”
– Yes and no. We prefer not to connect to a home because it was not designed to have a shade sail pulling on it every day.

“Are HOA’s OK with shade sails?”
– From our experience it is best to call the board and feel them out. Ther can be a few requirements for installing a shade sail within the HOA. Once you have some guidelines they typically ask for a rendering or design for approval. If you have any questions regarding HOA approval, we would be happy to help.
