UV protection is of utmost importance
The most important criteria when installing any form of shade in your home is its rate of UV protection. With Yarra Shade Co you can have confidence in knowing that all our fabrics offer over 90% UV protection. With Australia’s ozone layer continuing to wither and the number of Australians being diagnosed with skin cancer every year, you need to ensure your shade cover is going to be effective at protecting your family from UV rays.
Service that goes above and beyond
We understand factoring shade products into the family budget is a significant investment. That is why we put considerable research and effort into sourcing quality fabrics, galvanized steel posts and marine grade stainless steel fittings that withstand weather conditions and corrosion to give you a product that lasts. All hardware structures for our residential shade products have an expected lifespan of 10-15 years or more and come with a 3 year warranty on installation to certify our commitment to quality. So when you work out how many summers of shade protection you will get out of one shade sail the price works out to be next to nothing. Particularly when you think you’re providing your family with optimum UV protection.
During your initial consult with us we will come and assess your home for:
- Where you would like your shade,
- Why you would like it in that area,
- What you’re trying to achieve, and
- What’s involved installation wise.
FAQs
This really comes down to your local council rules, the total size of the sail, and how close it sits to your boundary fence. You won't have to guess, though. We assess your site upfront, handle the engineering specs, and make sure everything goes up safely and strictly to code.
It completely depends on how you want to use the space. To block the harsh summer sun while keeping the area cool and breezy, high-density commercial mesh is the way to go. Need to keep a patio or outdoor dining area dry all winter? We use architectural-grade waterproof PVC, pitched perfectly so water never pools.
Melbourne weather doesn't mess around, so neither do we. Everything is built to handle local conditions for the long haul. We combine heavy-duty commercial fabrics with marine-grade stainless steel fittings and robust structural steel posts, so the sail stays taut, secure, and built to last.
We don't sell off-the-shelf kits, so we don't use off-the-shelf pricing. Every property has different wind loads, anchor points, and dimensions. We will come out to your site, take exact measurements, and give you a fixed, upfront quote based on the actual engineering your space needs.
