Townsville sits in a cyclone region, so a shade sail here has to be designed properly. Post size, footing depth and fixings all matter, and so does knowing when to take a sail down.
We measure every site, design the shape to shed water and wind, and install with galvanised posts and stainless hardware. For owners further north wanting shade sail repairs, the same principles apply: good tension and sound fixings.

Shade sail FAQ
Should I take my sail down in a cyclone?
Yes. Sails should come down when a cyclone or severe storm warning is issued. We fit quick-release hardware to make that easier.
How long does a shade sail last?
Quality fabric usually lasts many years with good tension. Fittings should be checked every year or two.
Do I need council approval?
Small residential sails often don't, but larger or commercial sails can. We'll check for you.
How much does a shade sail cost?
Price depends on size, number of posts and fabric. We give a fixed quote after measuring.
