Process of purchasing Shade sails
We are available to take down sails particularly at the end of summer and put up at the start of summer. We are also available to answer any questions, queries regarding you shade sail.
Below are the steps involved in the planning and install of your shade sail:
1. Appointment
You can contact us by phone or by filling out our enquiry form on the home and contact us page. During that contact, we arrange a time convenient for you for our consultant to visit. Ideally, all interested parties are available as there will be a lot of detail discussed. We offer the option of Saturday afternoon.
Before the consultant’s visit, it is a good idea to have a clear idea of the area you want shaded as well as knowledge of the location any utilities that could affect placement of poles/fittings. Also what colour you have in mind as well for the fabric and posts.
2. Site visit
On the day of the visit the consultant will ask questions about where the customer wants shade . One key part to that is finding suitable places to fix sail fittings. Locations such as fascia , garden beds for poles and brick walls will be investigated.
Once the fixing points and their locations are established the consultant will draw the design
Colour of sail fabric and pole will be confirmed as well as explanation of warranty detail and lead times
3. Quote
Within 24 hours a quote will be emailed to the customer confirming details of the site visit as well as cost and warranty information. Any query concerning any part of the process can be addressed by contacting SBS either by email or phone
Once the quote is accepted a “Condition of Sale” form must be signed and returned by either email or post.

Once all the components are installed the sides and diagonals of the sail will be measured as well as pole heights
