Why Shade Sails are Crucial for UV Protection in New Zealand

New Zealand’s intense sun exposure makes protecting ourselves from harmful UV rays essential. Installing a shade sail at your home, school, playground, cafe, or commercial building can offer crucial protection from the sun’s UV rays, preventing sunburn and keeping outdoor areas cooler. This allows you to enjoy your outdoor spaces for longer, especially during the hot summer months.

The Benefits of Shade Sails

At Cairnscorp, we manufacture shade sails for various locations and provide installation services, including post setups for your new shade. Our shade sails are custom-made in different shapes and sizes, using a variety of high-quality fabrics and colors. All our components are made from stainless steel, adding longevity to the structure. Additionally, we can create twisted shade designs, adding both aesthetic appeal and functionality to your outdoor space.

Having a shade sail over your patio means you can relax outside even during the hottest part of the day. When installed over sand pits and children’s outdoor play areas, shade sails offer safe UV protection, allowing children to play comfortably without the risk of sunburn.

Custom Design and Installation

At Cairnscorp, we provide a complete service that includes visiting the site to design a shade that best suits the location. You can choose the fabric and color for your new shade, with options ranging from 70% to 97% shade factor and 84% to 95% UV block. All shades are sewn with Solarfix thread, which is designed to withstand New Zealand’s challenging conditions.

We also provide installation to ensure that your shade sail is tensioned correctly. It is recommended to take your shade sail down during winter to protect it from high winds, and we offer cleaning services to further extend its lifespan.

Architectural Style and Versatility

A well-designed shade sail can become an architectural feature, transforming the look of your outdoor area. With careful planning, multiple overlapping shade sails can create a stunning and functional outdoor space. Whether you need shade for a small or large area, Cairnscorp can guide you on the best solution to achieve your goals.

All our shade sails are custom-made at our factory in Pukekohe, using high-quality fabrics and stainless-steel components. Adding a shade sail to your home is an affordable way to enhance your outdoor space, creating a stylish feature with minimal disruption.
