What’s the difference between Shade Sails & Shade Structures

While you’ve probably heard about shade sails and shade structures before, it’s important to know the difference.

A shade sail is a versatile, lightweight fabric that can be attached to any surface. They are commonly used in residential settings for shading decks and patios from the harsh sun or providing shade in outdoor play areas where children need protection from UV rays. A shade structure, on the other hand, is an architectural solution that provides shade over large areas. These are most often used in commercial sites or in facilities where there’s a need for continuous shade coverage. Both shade sails and shade structures offer plenty of benefits to homeowners and businesses with limited space who want additional shade outdoors – just choose the one best suited to your needs!

The Global Shade Process

Unlike many shade sail and shade structure companies on the Gold Coast, we are shade sail manufacturers. This means, when you deal with Global Shade, you’re dealing with the people who actually make your shade sails as opposed to the people who install it.

We understand shade fabrics and their limits and possibilities better than anyone else. Therefore, we can provide the best possible shade sail or shade for your application, recommending the best design and fabrics for the job. Common fabrics include the likes of Z16, Xtreme 32, Polyfab Parasol, Ferarri 502, and Polypan 680. To learn more about the fabrics we use, please visit our Fabrics page.

As manufacturers, we will make your shade sail but we will not install it. Rather, one of our experienced agents will complete the installation at your location. The process is quick and easy. It usually takes around 10-12 days for the manufacturing and 1-2 weeks for the installation.
