Shade Sails Perth?
Has anyone got a company they would recommend?
Buying direct from a wholesaler is very reasonable but obviously you still have to install them. But, the difference between what we were quoted and cost of installation (minus actual sails) is really expensive. Like thousands. Bit confused.
Other option over pool is a cantilevered umbrella, but Mr J is convinced it will falll over unless set it concrete (too late as we have liquid limestone around the pool)
Anyone got any experience?
Thanks

Re: Shade Sails Perth?
personally i wouldnt bother with a shade sail, our friends had one, cost a fortune and didnt keep the rain out. Fine for summer but not so good for spring and winter when it's warm enough to sit out but raining.

Absolutely. We have a 7x7m one over the shallow end of our pool and now my son can use it during the day and not only in the morning and evening. It works well.

The guy who installed it lives in Gooseberry Hill near me. He's a really nice bloke. I can try and find his number if you want.

We had a 7x7m one installed over our pool. It cost just over $3k cash. The expensive part is the powder coated steel supports. They cost about $500 each. The shade sail is relatively inexpensive.
