Schaduwdoeken

Measure your terrace and add 20-30% overhang on each side for optimal coverage. A standard 3x3m terrace typically needs a 4x4m or 3.6x3.6m sail. For irregular spaces, triangular sails offer more flexibility. We provide free sizing advice for any outdoor area.

Quality shade sails in breathable HDPE fabric handle moderate winds well — the mesh allows air to pass through. For exposed coastal areas, add turnbuckles for tension adjustment and consider removable sails during the windiest months (October-March). We stock wind-rated commercial-grade sails.

Yes, quality HDPE shade sails block 90-98% of UV radiation — crucial on the Costa Blanca where the UV index regularly exceeds 8 in summer. Look for sails with certified UPF 50+ ratings. All our shade sails meet this standard and come with UV stabilisation for long fabric life.

Shade sails need strong anchor points — wall-mounted eye plates, steel posts, or existing beams. For masonry walls (common in Spain), use stainless steel expansion anchors rated for the sail tension. We sell complete fixing kits and can recommend local installers for professional fitting.
