Standard Shade Sails

A standard sail is already patterned, so we cut and sew it to a set finished size, measured D-ring to D-ring, in the color you pick. There are eight: a small and a large right triangle, equilateral triangle, square and rectangle. Sizes are approximate, measured D-ring to D-ring; allow about 1″ either way. Any other size or shape is a custom sail.

They’re the largest sizes that cut from a 3.0 m (118″) wide roll of Commercial 95 with little waste. Every edge takes a 0.5″ hem plus a 2.5″ cable pocket (3″ per edge), and a seam takes 2.5″. The small square, the small equilateral triangle and both rectangles are a single width of fabric with no seam; the large square and the large equilateral triangle are two widths joined by one seam. The two right triangles are our original standard sizes.

Farther apart than the sail. Each standard sail is patterned for about 10″ of turnbuckle at every corner and stretches about 5% as you tension it. Each product page gives the anchor spacing for that size, and the planning guide explains the rule.

One stainless turnbuckle per corner (three for a triangle, four for a square or rectangle), stainless perimeter cable cut to the sail’s perimeter plus 15%, and 2 stainless cable clamps. Wall pad eyes and posts are sold separately — see hardware.

Every sail is cut and sewn to order in the color you choose, so we don’t accept returns except in rare cases at our discretion. See our Returns Policy, and call us if you want a second look at your measurements before ordering.
