Steel: Carolina Shade Sails uses structural steel for our architectural fabric structures. Our heavy duty type of steel comes from the reputable Allied Steel whose products are made from cold-rolled, galvanized tubular steel with a triple layer of protection. Allied Steel products outperform most steels in tensile strength and long-term corrosion resistance, as well as saltwater spray and other weathering tests.
Fabric: Our shade sail fabric cloth is known for its strength, vibrant color and durability. The high-density polyethylene fabric with ultraviolet additives is Rachel knitted so material will not unravel when cut, ensuring stability and a consistent shade sail pattern. All of our shade sail fabric passes the ASTM E-84 fire rating test as well as the NFPA 255 and NFPA-701, and is rated a Class 1 Material.
Thread: Tenera thread used for stitching is guaranteed not to rot due to UV exposure or other environmental causes. The thread carries a lifetime guarantee.
Corners: Fabric connection points are triple reinforced. Each connecting point has vinyl sewn between layers for reinforcement.
Cable & Fasteners: Tensioning cable is galvanized steel; fasteners are stainless steel.
