Custom-Made Shade Sail – Graphite Grey Com 95
This custom-designed shade sail provides an attractive and practical shading solution for an existing outdoor deck, creating a more comfortable space for relaxing and entertaining while maintaining an open, contemporary appearance.
The sail features a five-corner design with a total perimeter of approximately 17 metres, custom-manufactured to suit the layout and fixing points of the existing deck area. The reinforced webbing edge provides additional strength and helps maintain the sail’s shape and tension, delivering a neat, streamlined finish without the need for bulky perimeter framing.
Manufactured from premium Com 95 shade fabric in Graphite Grey, the sail offers excellent outdoor durability, high tensile strength and UV protection ranging from 74% to 95%, depending on the fabric colour. Com 95 is specifically designed for medium-sized shade applications, featuring a consistent colour finish and resistance to staining and dirt. The fabric is backed by a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty.
All sail fittings and tensioning hardware are manufactured from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and reliable performance in New Zealand’s outdoor conditions.
To accommodate the new shade sail, the installation includes two 2500 mm long, 100 × 100 mm galvanised steel SHS support posts, securely bolted to the existing deck support posts. The existing custom posts will be relocated and mounted onto the new steel supports, allowing the existing deck features to be retained while providing additional height and attachment points for the sail.
The galvanised posts are supplied in their natural finish without additional powder coating, offering a durable, low-maintenance solution.
The completed installation creates a generous shaded area with a modern Graphite Grey finish, combining effective sun protection, durable materials and a custom-designed structure that integrates with the existing outdoor space.
