Clara Shade Sails

At Clara Shade Sails we are passionate about shade sails and the endless possibilities they can provide for shade, shelter and privacy within your garden and home.

Shade sails are a great alternative to the garden umbrella, gazebo or expensive fixed awning. The concept of shade sails has been around for centuries, with the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all having used large pieces of sail like fabric to provide protection against the harsh sun.

Shade sails are very popular in Australia, South Africa and the USA and more recently demand for them has soared across Europe. Should you go on holiday to Southern Europe these days, many restaurants, bars and hotels seek to protect their diners with large architectural sails hung from fixed anchor points , creating a zoned and sociable area of outdoor shade for their customers. Sails have also been very popular in schools where outdoor learning has become more and more popular and where UV protection is paramount.

They are available in many shapes, sizes and colours and can be mounted in almost any position, at any angle and against most surfaces. As well as being a great garden accessory they can also be used inside the home, for example within a conservatory to keep the temperature under control during the sunnier months of the year.
