Commercial Shade Sails Coffs Harbour
Commercial Shade Structures For Carparks, Playgrounds, Pools & More
Commercial shade sails are designed to provide shade in outdoor areas such as parks, playgrounds, carparks, pool decks and patios. At Jon Wilson Canvas & Shade, we provide custom designed shade sails to fit your specific area and aesthetic. Whether you need a unique size or need the cloth shaped to provide protection from the sun in a specific direction, our team can help. We work with business owners throughout Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie.
Commercial shade sails offer a flexible and attractive alternative to traditional hard-top shelters and can provide a cost-effective solution for creating shade in outdoor spaces.
Key factors to consider before installing a commercial shade sail include:
- Determine the direction of the sun at various points of the day to ensure the position of the sails provides maximum shade
- Decide the location and heights of your fixing points—ensure there are different heights for your fixing points, as you don’t want the sail to lay flat. This improves the appearance and helps to avoid issues such as a build-up of debris and water which can cause sagging or tearing.
- Consult with local authorities to learn whether building regulations apply
- Be aware of any underground services in the vicinity to avoid damage

Can my shade sails stay up year-round?
Yes, there’s no need to take it down during cooler months. However, you might like to remove shade sails during cooler seasons to increase natural light and heating.
Is colour important?
The sun has a different effect on different colours, so each colour will have a different UV-R percentage. If sun protection is a major concern, we recommend opting for darker coloured sails. If appearance is paramount, you might consider which colours will help your business stand out. For example, using your corporate colours will contribute to overall branding on your property, whereas a children’s playground might benefit from bright, cheerful colours.
How can I prolong the life of my shade sail?
To get the most out of your shade sail, ensure proper installation and check the strength and structural stability of your fixing locations. Regularly check for correct tension to protect against extreme weather conditions and wind.
How do I clean my shade sails?
Just like all fabrics, over time your shade sail may require cleaning for appearance and longevity. Debris can weigh down your sails and cause tearing, while mould can decay the fabric. To avoid this, clean the fabric frequently with gentle detergent and a garden hose.
Can commercial shade sails add property value?
Absolutely! Not only do they offer functional value by providing a practical shade solution, but our sails are also beautifully designed to suit the aesthetic and style of your property.
How To Maintain Your Shade Sails
To maintain your shade sails:
- Inspect the sails for signs of damage, such as tears, holes and fraying—address any issues promptly to prevent further damage
- Clean the sails with mild soap and water and avoid using harsh chemicals which can damage the fabric
- Check hardware for signs of corrosion or damage and replace or repair as needed
- Adjust the tension of the sails to ensure they are properly stretched and secure
- If you plan to store the sails during cooler periods, ensure they’re removed and packed away properly to protect them from damage
