Sun Sails for Your Backyard
Also known as shade sails, sun sails are made from high-quality fabric, providing excellent protection against intense heat and harmful UV radiation. By adding one to your backyard, you can get more use out of your outdoor space, even on the hottest Alabama days.
Our team is here to help you choose the best sun sail for your needs, helping you transform your backyard for the right price.
Benefits of Sun Sails
When you add a sun sail to your backyard, these are the benefits you can expect to enjoy:
Extra Ventilation
Adding a shade sail to your outdoor space can help cool the area and improve the ventilation. Since most sun sails are made from a semi-permeable fabric, they allow cool air to circulate in while keeping the direct sunlight out. This helps keep your patio space at a more comfortable temperature.
Protection From the Sun
Soaking in vitamin D from the sun is great for your health, but too much sun exposure can be harmful. Adding a sun sail to your backyard helps protect you from dangerous UV rays while still letting you enjoy the relaxing feeling of basking in the sun.
Versatility
Our customers love sun sails because they are easy to set up and move around if needed. They also come in a variety of styles, designs, and colors, making them a more versatile option compared to other outdoor shade solutions.

Polyester
Less resistant to damage, but generally more budget-friendly.
Polypropylene
More resistant to damage and a good mid-range option.
High-density polyethylene

Keep in mind that lighter shades will reflect more sunlight, helping to keep your patio area cooler on hot days. Darker shades, on the other hand, offer better protection from UV rays. Some of the most popular sun sail colors include:
- White
- Black
- Navy
- Yellow
- Dark gray

FAQs About Sun Sails
How much will my sun sail cost?

What size should my sun sail be?
It depends on the size and shape of your outdoor space. As a good rule of thumb, we recommend choosing a sun sail that’s at least 12 inches smaller than the space you want to cover, but our team can evaluate your space and make personalized recommendations for you.
