Shade Sails & Structures for Decks
August 11th, 2021 · Published to Applications, Shade Sails by Steve Lewis
Shade sails and structures are among the most popular and most affordable options for providing shade around the home. While they are commonly installed over driveways as a cheap carport solution, they’re also a prevalent deck shade solution.
A deck is a place to enjoy the outdoors, entertain friends, or read a book, amongst other things. However, when sweltering heat or rain occurs, an unprotected deck is the last place you want to be.
If you have a deck and you’re not using it as often as you would like to – due to it being either too hot in winter or too wet when it rains, then investing in a shade sail or shade structure, such as canopies and tension membranes, is the best solution.
Whether you live in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Sunshine Coast, Tweed Heads, or the Central Coast, if you’re after shade sails or shade structures for driveways, you’ve come to the right place.

The Global Shade Process
With Global Shade, the process of getting a custom shade sail or custom shade structure installed over a deck is quick and easy. Simply contact the team at Global Shade with your shade sail/shade structure requirements. We will connect you with one of our local installers, who will visit your home to review the deck. They can discuss the design options and recommend whether shade sails or another shade structure is best suited and discuss the fabric options in detail.
Our local installers will take measurements of the deck and provide a no-obligation quote outlining all costs. If you accept the quote, the design of the fabric component is sent to Global Shade to be manufactured, which is usually a 10-12 day turnaround.
The installers then construct and install the shade sails/shade structure to complete the process.
