For Custom Shade Sails, we offer three high-quality main fabric lines:
Monotec, ExtraBlock, and Shadetex.
(Other fabrics are available on a limited basis)
Each fabric is about 85-90% UV Protective and choosen especially for long lasting sails.
We recommend ordering Fabric Samples – all computer screens are slightly different and the only true way to know what you’re getting is to see the fabric in person.
Monotec 370
Monotec is an all monofilament shade cloth that is the strongest shade cloth on the market. It is most appropriate for larger Shade Sails and commerical projects. Fabric creases along fold lines take longer in the sun under tension to go away. Made in Australia, Monotec 370 is made with 100% round monofilament HDPE yarns, making it the strongest shadecloth on the market. It’s positive memory yarns require no re-tensioning.
