Sail Shades: they’re not just for Christmas!

So busy is the modern lifestyle that we rarely find time to plan for the season ahead, until it’s upon us. Christmas comes around and it’s too late to make those changes to your interior that you’ve been meaning to make before hosting your family’s yuletide celebrations; come spring, your borders are still choked with the roots of weeds, then when the summer rolls around, it’s too late to rethink your outside space and you once again have to ‘make do’ with the lack-lustre seating or barbeque area that you’ve been talking about improving for years. Sound familiar?

Gift a Sail Shade this Christmas

If so, instead of scratching your head and trawling the online marketplace for gift ideas this Christmas, why not gift your household with one of our beautiful Sail Shades? Although we are now firmly in the depths of winter and the balmy temperatures of summer may seem like a distant dream, the warmer months, as we know, will be upon us before we know it, and having a solution ready and waiting to help you make the most of it is a foresight you’ll be thanking yourselves for having.

 

 

The benefits

So, what are the benefits? Starting at just £45 per square metre, our Sail Shade solutions can be installed with either fixed or retractable options. In other words, your shelter can be made to permanently provide cover, or it can be designed and installed to be tucked away whenever you’re not using it. The materials are also eco-friendly whilst offering a host of benefits. Weathermax, the fabric that we use, vastly outperforms acrylic alternatives, offering twice the strength and durability, 50% more water resistance, and abrasion resistance that’s six times greater than acrylic. It also performs head and shoulders above its solution-dyed polyester counterpart, with twice the fade resistance, double the strength retention and a level of water resistance and breathability that’s far higher. It’s also easier to handle and stow away, being much lighter, and because of its strength retention and fade resistance, it will neither sag or bleed colour. 

More than just a purchase

It is for all of these reasons that we believe one of our Sail Shades is more than a purchase. Rather, it is an investment, both in the improvement of your outside space, and in your enjoyment of it for years to come. We source all of our shades from a list of specialised suppliers from around the world, who can provide the correct technical fabric to suit each and every project. And because, as we said, they can be installed to be fixed or retractable, your Sail Shade can, if necessary, be easily and safely dismantled during high winds, making it a viable option for all garden spaces.

With all of this in mind, if you’re among the many looking for gift ideas that aren’t just for Christmas, why not consider investing in a Sail Shade? At Sail Shades Direct, we can, and will, find a bespoke solution to suit your space, and by investing in it now, when summer comes around, you’ll be ready to throw open the doors, light the barbeque and enjoy the kind of shade that only a sail can provide.
