The perimeter of each sail is designed with a pleasing cantenary curve inwards towards the center of the sail to control the fabric tension.

UV inhibitors make these state of the art fabrics block the sun's harmful UV rays yet remain totally unaffected by moisture and natural temperature extremes. The most commonly used fabric from companies such as Coolaroo / Synthesis is a high density polyethylene material that is very durable and resistant to moisture, mildew, and rot. High density polyethylene shade sails are weighted in grams per square meter (gsm) and usually range from around 120 gsm to 340 gsm. A shade sail using a 340 gsm fabric will be a more densely knitted fabric than a 200 gsm fabric. The denser the fabric, the higher the UV protection. Some shade sail fabrics provide near waterproof / water resistant properties, like that of the marine grade Sunbrella, that is used to cover boats or on their bimini tops.
