At ShadeSpace, found in Australia, we provide premium, customisable backyard sails designed to suit your unique space. Learn the top 10 benefits of adding shade sails to your backyard.

Superior UV Protection

ShadeSpace shade sails block up to 95% of harmful UV rays, making your backyard a safer place to relax and entertain. This not only protects your skin but also preserves outdoor furniture from fading and sun damage.

Cooler Outdoor Temperatures

By blocking direct sunlight, backyard shade sails can reduce the perceived temperature by as much as 15°C. This creates a more comfortable environment, especially during hot Australian summers and encourages outdoor living.
