What are shade sails?

Shade sails or shade sails are lightweight installations used to generate shade in a given space.

These installations basically consist of two parts: the structural elements and the sail fabric. The structural elements support the fabric by means of special connections providing tension to the sail so that it can maintain a certain shape.

Depending on the way of use, design and materials, the tensioned sails can be permanent or temporary, waterproof or not, etc.

In Ensombra we design all types of solar protection systems. We have made designs of solar protection systems in different regions of Spain.
