A New World of stunning but practical shade solutions:
Creating shaded areas within your outdoor living space is important and essential as we move into the warm summer months, trees provide us and the plants with great shade, However what about those areas that are not practical for trees, near the pool, childrens play area or over the car, an innovative and very attractive product developed and manufactured in Australia is now available in Spain Coolashades using state-of-the-art materials in manufacture Coolashades, allows air to pass through, stopping the build up of hot air underneath keeping you cool and refreshed all day.
With the reality of global warming bringing longer hotter summers & the greater risk of violent storms means that shade structures are now not only essential but must be capable of withstanding high winds and heavy rain.
Coolashades are made of high density polyethylene shade cloth that is especially manufactured with tensioned fabric structures in mind. The knit is made using monofilament and tape filler. The fabric is treated with a UV stabilizers to give it long life in direct sunlight. Depending on colour, the average shade rating is approx. 90% and the UVR block is also approx. 90%.
The perimeter of each sail has a catenary curve designed into it that controls the fabric tension in the centre of the sail. This means when tension is placed on the perimeter cable, the fabric will have uniform tension. They do not sag or flap in the wind.
Sails can be attached to existing structures with a variety of common or custom made brackets and hardware. They can also be supported by their own columns made of either timber or steel pipe. The dimensions of the pipe and the footings are engineered for each sail and its application depending on the size of the sail and the expected wind loading. If timber posts are used, then we generally use temporary power poles with a preservative added to the wood.
These sails are made with commercial quality high density polyethylene shade material, They have reinforcing webbing around the perimeter and a welded closed stainless steel "Delta" ring at each corner. These sails are ideal for gardens, entry ways, children's play areas, and pools. They can provide attractive protection over car parking spaces. Stretch them between trees, well grounded posts or existing structures.
