Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Feb 17, 2010 1:45 pm We are doing quite a bit of work in our backyard in order to sell our home. We want to put some shade sails up over a deck. The biggest one would probably be a 5.5m triangular area. Can anyone reccomend a cheap but not nasty shade sail? We are in Melbourne Re: Where can I get reasonably priced shade sails 2Feb 17, 2010 2:00 pm If you have a sewing machine they are very easy to make from shadecloth. Insert tabs of nylon webbing in the corners onto which you have threaded a 'D' ring, stitch a criss-cross section to reinforce and then hems along each side. Buy some large galvanised screw eyes and hooks from the hardware store and bingo you have a shadesail.

I dont want it to be too cheap and nasty as we want it to look decent. Had a look at a few on Ebay. Actually one of the shade sail people on Ebay will custom make one for about $615. Specs are roughly 2m at one end and 4m at the other with the length being 9m. Does that sound ok? Re: Where can I get reasonably priced shade sails 7Feb 24, 2010 11:20 pm Sounds ok. I recommended the shade sail mob above because over here we get some of the strongest sustained winds for any capital city in the world. Most good shade sails are reinforced on the edges with stainless steel cable. They cost a bomb but don't tear or blow away when a corner gives out. The ones I posted are bloody strong but are far cheaper.
