Retractable awnings vs shade sails

What’s the difference between outdoor retractable awnings and shade sails? Both offer viable solutions to block out the sun and provide decent shelter for your outdoor space. Have a look at what we gathered to see which one is right for you.

• A retractable awning, usually made of cloth or canvas, is attached to a wall, doorway or window. It extends your living space by acting as a retractable roof. When retracted, it rolls into a small, subtle form to blend into your building.
• A residential or commercial shade sail is a flexible piece of fabric that is attached to anchor points on a pole or wall. Often custom made waterproof shade sails are installed that offer both shade and shelter for your specific outdoor space. Shade sails are common for outdoor play areas and large backyards.
