Affordable Backyard Sun Protection

Australian summers can be harsh, and while everyone loves time outdoors, staying protected from the sun is essential. Installing a permanent pergola or roof extension isn’t always practical or affordable, but there’s a flexible solution many homeowners are turning to: mesh tarps as shade sails.

Why Choose Mesh Tarps for Shade?

Mesh tarps are designed to allow airflow while blocking a high percentage of UV rays. This makes them perfect for creating shaded areas that feel cooler without trapping heat. Unlike solid tarps, they reduce glare and provide comfort while still letting a breeze through—ideal for patios, decks, pools, play areas, and outdoor entertaining spaces.

Cost-Effective and Versatile

Using mesh tarps as shade sails is a budget-friendly alternative to custom structures. They can be installed with simple fittings, tied to posts, fences, or walls, and easily removed or repositioned when not needed. You can start small with a single tarp or combine multiple tarps to cover larger areas.

Durable and Customisable

Our mesh tarps are built tough, with reinforced hems, eyelets, and UV-stabilised material. They’re available in a range of sizes and can also be custom-made to suit unique spaces. Whether you want a sleek shade sail for the pool or a practical solution for a kids’ play area, mesh tarps provide long-lasting backyard sun protection.

Quick Tips for Installation

• Angle your tarp to allow rainwater run-off.
• Use strong tie-down points and fittings.
• Consider lighter colours for cooler shade, or darker colours for more privacy.

With mesh tarps, you don’t have to sacrifice your outdoor lifestyle—create a shaded, comfortable space at a fraction of the cost of permanent structures.
