We have a large lantern roof over a garden room. During sunny weather if can get pretty hot and we needed some shade. I found that 3 of the 2m shades were just right to give an interesting shade effect." Bring some style and pizzazz to your conservatory, your wedding reception venue or add some adventure to your children's birthday party, games room, den or bedroom. PREMIUM QUALITY The height of the posts will also play a factor. Remember that you must install your sail at an angle of 20-30 degrees, depending on the size of your sail, to allow any rain water to run off. Where some posts are higher than others, a diagonal line will be involved which will change the length of your measurement.

Bring some style and pizzazz to your conservatory, your wedding reception venue or add some adventure to your children's birthday party, games room, den or bedroom. We had been looking for a non-permanent and cost-effective way of shading our UPVC glass-roofed conservatory during the summer months and selected Clara Shade Sails only after extensive research. Our conservatory's internal dimensions are 3.5m x 3.7m so the new 3m square size is an excellent size for it that will provide the necessary shading when needed and require only minutes to put up or take down."

Finally... this picture is from Clara Team member Claire. If you read our conservatory installation blog you will see that it’s one of the main reasons Claire started this business in the first place. Her conservatory was the first place she put one of the Clara Shade Sails and after 7 years it is still going strong!

Square 3.6m - Clara Sun Shade Sail - White Waterproof UV Patio Garden Sun Canopy Awning UV PROTECTION

This sail has worked wonders in our sun room, made it bearable in the daytime when sun is very hot, can highly recommend for indoor use." This Rectangle 3m x 2m - Clara Sun Shade Sail is made with woven, PU coated waterproof material to also help protect you from the unexpected rain shower. As well as providing shade, our sails can also be used to protect you from the sun’s UV rays, especially children or those with health issues. Our shade sails are treated to provide UV protection up to 98%, and are certified to be UPF50+. As the sun’s rays can move and bounce around, especially near reflective surfaces such as water, we recommend still covering up and using sunscreen.

When installing the shade sail, you must install with seams facing downward and allow a 20-30 degree angle (depending on the size of your sail) between at least 2 corners so your sail is installed properly on a slant. This will ensure the rainwater doesn't pool in the middle and cause the fabric to stretch unnecessarily. What are shade sail fixings?When googling shade sails a lot of questions come up, which can be simply answered. So in this blog, I want to answer some of those common questions and hopefully help you to understand which shade sail to buy and exactly how they work! Are Shade Sails waterproof? Once you have your fixing points, posts and fixtures all in place and secure, then its time to bring out the shade! Many customers plan to use the side of their house, outbuilding, fence or garden wall for some of their fixing points and then where needed they supplement with posts or poles.

Many of our customers have more than one fixing point on the vertical to allow them to move the slant of the sail up and down according to the position of the sun. When the sun starts to lower, then can lower one side of the sail to maintain shade for longer. Bought this to use inside our glass roofed conservatory. Now on sunny days we can actually sit in it without squinting at the sun or having to put a garden parasol up in there like we had to last summer! A great, cheap solution for the summer months." Please install with seams facing down and allow a 20-30 degree angle between at least two corners so your sail is installed properly on a slant. This will ensure the rain water doesn't pool in the middle and cause the material to stretch unnecessarily. I was a bit sceptical about how successful this shade would be for my conservatory, especially as it is smaller than the roof space, but I was pleasantly surprised and relieved that it's dropped the temperature a few degrees which makes our conservatory a much more bearable place to sit when it's sunny . I wish that I'd bought one years ago now!" The summer months, late spring and early autumn are when we expect the best weather, so many parties and weddings take place during this time of year. Unfortunately, we know the weather in the UK can be very unpredictable, so the sails are also treated to be waterproof, and are great for keeping everyone dry if there’s a sudden shower.
