The difference between shade sails and pool shades
A shade sail is an outdoor structure designed to offer shade from the sun – and the rain. Their design is based on the same principles as a ship’s sail.
A shade sail is made up of two parts: a flexible fabric or PVC membrane, which is free-spanned and tensioned between several anchor points. This tension is designed to make it more efficient at shedding water and help it stand up to strong winds.
The anchor points can take the form of vertical columns, posts or building brackets. After the posts are inserted into the ground, the shade sail fabric or membrane is attached to each post using special connections built into its corners.
A “pool shade” refers to a structure designed to provide shade over a swimming pool, typically made from fabric or a canopy-like design, allowing people to relax by the pool without excessive sun exposure; common types include shade sails, retractable canopies, pergolas, and cantilever shades, which can be customized to fit the pool area and provide adjustable shade as needed.
