Townsville sun is brutal and the wet season brings strong winds. We design and install shade sails that handle both, for homes, schools and businesses across the city.
Townsville gets strong sun for most of the year, so shade outside often decides whether a patio, pool or play area gets used at all. A well-placed sail can make an outdoor area noticeably cooler.
The city also sits in a cyclone-rated wind region. That changes how sails should be built: posts, footings and fixings need to be designed for the wind loads, and sails should be easy to release when a big system is coming.
From a single sail over the back patio to large commercial structures.
Sails shaped and sized around your space and where the sun actually hits.

A clear price for the sail, posts and fixings.
Fitted properly so it sits tight and sheds wind.
We install and repair shade sails all over Townsville, including:
Size, fabric, how many new posts are needed and how the footings are engineered all affect the price. A sail between existing walls is cheaper than a large sail on new steel posts. Use the form to send a few details and you'll get a price.
Sails and posts should be designed for Townsville's wind region, but no sail should be left up in a cyclone. They're built so the fabric can be released and taken down quickly when a warning is issued.
A good-quality, UV-stabilised commercial shade cloth holds up best. Lighter colours stay cooler underneath, while darker colours usually block a little more light.
It depends on the size, height and where the sail goes. Some small residential sails don't need approval, but it's always worth checking with Townsville City Council first.
Fabric life depends on quality, tension and how often it's taken down in storms. Keeping it tight and releasing it in severe weather helps it last much longer.
If an older sail is sagging or torn, shade sail repairs can often get a few more years out of it before you replace it.
