Outdoors: Shade Sails
April 25th, 2008
From Julie:
When temperatures rise, awnings are an essential weapon in the cooling arsenal—blocking direct sun and creating zones of shade. The best development we’ve seen in a while is the tensioned shade sail, an almost Christo-like triangle or rectangular of RV-blocking fabric that can be used in a variety of ways. Whittier, CA-based Shade Sales offers an extensive range of sail shades in (even a Gates-like saffron rust) different configurations; prices range from $159.95 for a 12-foot triangle to $394 for an 18-foot square. Off-the-rack shades by Coolaroo are available at Backyard City, Stacks and Stacks
Below: Pottery Barn offers the 10-foot polyester canvas Sail Canopy in green, orange, natural, or multistripe; eucalyptus stake included, $199.
Below: Ikea offers the Dyning Gazebo; 100 percent polyester, approx. 13 feet long;
$29.99.
