Why choose a Shade Sail? 

Able Shade Sails are versatile and stunning shade systems which keep children and adults protected from the sun's harmful UV rays. Due to climate change it is becoming increasingly important to provide shade from the sun in the UK, especially in schools and nurseries. Our shade sails are the perfect solution as they block up to 96% of UV rays. Our waterproof shade sails also have the added benefit of providing shelter from the rain too, making them the ultimate choice for year round weather protection.

With the installation of shade sails, most activities can be moved outdoors creating a new, exciting learning environment for children and giving a space for activities which may not be suitable to do indoors such as art and craft work. Shade sails also create pleasant and cool seating areas, making them great picnic areas or a covered outdoor extension to your bar or restaurant.
