Custom sails measured between your actual fixing points and tensioned until they're drum-tight.
Tucson Shade Sails has installers who design, fabricate and hang custom shade sails across Tucson. Shade sail installation is mostly geometry: where the sun sits at 3 p.m. in July, where posts can go, and how high each corner needs to be.
We measure between real fixing points, then the sail is cut a little smaller so the turnbuckles have room to pull it tight. Stock-size sails rarely fit that gap, which is why they sag.
Inside Tucson city limits, sails over 400 square feet, or any sail used as a carport or patio cover, need a City permit. We check your layout against that line before ordering fabric.
Fixing points marked and measured corner to corner and across both diagonals.
Fabric cut with curved edges, webbing-reinforced corners and stainless rings.
Turnbuckles drawn up evenly so the fabric is smooth with no wrinkles or flapping edges.
Single sails or overlapping layers placed to cover the hours you use the space.
| Shape | Best for | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Triangle | Corners, accents, layered designs | Covers less area than its size suggests |
| Square or rectangle | Patios and play areas | Needs a twist or slope to shed rain |
| Hypar (twisted four-corner) | Larger spaces and strong visual impact | Two high and two low corners |
| Layered triangles | Pools and odd-shaped yards | More posts, but more design freedom |
Posts and footings go in first and need time to cure. Hanging and tensioning the fabric usually takes a single visit after that.
Yes. Lighter colors reflect more heat; darker colors often feel cooler underneath and hide dust. We bring samples so you can see each one in your light.
We prefer to measure and supply the sail, because a stock size rarely matches your fixing points. We're happy to look at what you have.
Inside Tucson city limits, a shade cloth structure over 400 square feet needs an Addition/Alteration permit. We prepare the layout for that review.
