When considering the purchase of a sun shade sail, proper preparation is key to ensuring you make the right choice and achieve the best results.
Here are a few things you should learn before finalizing your purchase.
1) Understand the Path of the Cast Shadow
The sun moves across the sky throughout the day, which affects the position of the cast shadow. Therefore, understanding the shifting path of the shadow can help you better position your sun shade sails.
There are many applications available that can help you map out the shifting path. By doing this, you can ensure that the shade falls exactly where it's needed during the hottest time of the day.
2) Evaluate the Structure to Secure the Sail
You can utilize some natural structures as anchor points, including roofs, walls, trees, etc. Mounting anchor points on these natural structures can help you save on budget and effort. Before confirming the anchor points, you need to check the structural integrity to ensure that they are sturdy enough to withstand the tension.
3) Custom-Made vs. Standard Size Sails
Our sun shade sails are available in both custom-made sizes and standard sizes.
The pre-set standard size options are commonly used and can work for most scenarios. However, if you’re looking for a better fit or irregular shapes, custom-made sun shade sails may be a better choice.
In addition to rectangle and triangle shapes, we also offer irregular shapes. If you have special needs or any product-related questions before ordering, feel free to reach out to us at service@kgorge.com.

Some areas might have rules about outdoor structures like sun shade sails, especially if they’re visible from the street or involve attachment to public spaces.
Before purchasing and installing your sun shade sail, please make sure to check with your local community or authorities for any required permits or regulations.
