Custom shade sails, made to your size.

The design tool assumes you’re giving us attachment points: you measure between the posts, walls or brackets, and we pull each corner in for its hardware and shrink the sail so it stretches tight into that space. If you check Finished dimensions, we build the finished sail to your numbers within about 1″ per side, with no stretch allowance and every corner a direct connect; the tool shows where the anchors go. Either way we check the geometry before anything is cut.

We pull each corner in from its attachment point by the length of the hardware — about 10″ for a turnbuckle or block and tackle, 2″ for a direct connect — then make the sail 5% smaller so it stretches tight, and cut each edge with a curve about 5% of its length deep. The design tool runs that rule in both directions: from your attachment points to the finished sail, or from a finished size to where your anchors go. A 16′ finished square, for example, wants anchors about 18′ apart. Same rule as our planning guide.

Measure straight-line distances between your fixing points (post to post, bracket to bracket), going around the shape: A–B, B–C and so on. For four or more corners, also measure the diagonals and the height of each attachment point so we can lock in the exact geometry and check the numbers. When you choose “fit to my attachment points,” we deduct for hardware and tension when we pattern the sail. Field dimensions guide.

A tensioned sail pulls into a curve. Cutting each edge with a built-in curve — about 5% of the side’s length deep at the middle — lets the fabric tension evenly from corner to corner — no flapping, minimal wrinkles, and less stress on the corners.

Residential custom sails commonly run up to about 30–40 feet on a side; beyond that, larger spans are typically designed as engineered commercial structures with heavier fabric, cable and footings. Tell us the space and we’ll recommend the right approach.

Yes — we sell the complete manufactured system (sail, any steel extensions, stainless hardware and tensioners) ready to install, with a hardware layout sheet. If you or your own installer put it up, installation and the structural capacity of what it attaches to are your responsibility; a sail puts significant load on every corner, especially in monsoon winds. We strongly recommend confirming what’s inside any column or wall you attach to and using a licensed contractor. Our warranty covers the workmanship of what we make, not installation by others or damage caused by it.

Yes. The design tool prices your custom sail as you enter it: the sail by the area between your attachment points, the corners and the hardware kit, item by item. When the drawing and the price look right, press Add to cart and check out with a card, the same as a standard sail. No quote, no waiting for a callback.

Yes, for what’s in the design: the sail, its corners and the hardware kit if you include it. Shipping (live FedEx Ground price for your address, or free pickup in Phoenix) and Arizona sales tax are added at checkout. Posts, footings and installation aren’t part of an online order.

Four sides don’t fix a four-corner shape: the same sides can lean into many different shapes. The A–C diagonal locks the shape and B–D double-checks it. The tool won’t let you order until B–D agrees with the rest (within about 9″), so a mis-measured side is caught before we cut. If your corners are at different heights, enter each connection height: a twisted sail changes B–D.

Every design is checked by our pattern maker before cutting. If something doesn’t add up, we contact you before we cut anything. Once your sail is cut, it’s made to your numbers, so measure twice: the field dimensions guide shows how.

The same as a standard sail: production takes 7–10 business days once material arrives in our shop, then it ships FedEx Ground (or you pick it up in Phoenix). Need it sooner? Contact us to expedite.
