I was really glad to see that these sails are triangular shaped. This reminds me of an actual sail. I really like the look of these shades. I also like that they are light and still summery! My husband and I are looking for a type of shade provider in our nautical themed backyard. I think this would be perfect. Thank you for sharing this great information!

I love that Shade sails can be versatile, and that they offer UV protection from the sun. My husband and I have been looking for shade covers for our back yard, we just haven't found the right style yet. I'm hoping that I can find something before our family BBQ in a few weeks, then when everyone is over there's some shade for us older folks.

I like what this article mentions about shade sails being a good way to get UV protection from the sun when outside. It makes sense that it could be much more comfortable to sit outside when shaded than it is to sit in direct sunlight. It's something to keep in mind for my patio renovation.
