Why we’re different
In-house manufacturing
This gives us complete control over quality, ensuring every product meets our high standards.
Commercial-grade fabric
Our shade sails are built with commercial-grade fabric that can handle Australia’s harsh climate.
Made to order
Every sail is made to order, avoiding mass production to ensure care, precision, and a better fit for a longer-lasting product.
10-year warranty on fabric
Backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty against UV degradation, our sails are built for durability and peace of mind.
Backed by over 25 years
For more than 25 years, Direct Shade Sails has been a trusted name in creating reliable, high-quality shade solutions for Australian homes and businesses. From the very beginning, our focus has been on delivering products that combine functionality, durability, and style to enhance outdoor spaces.
What sets us apart is our deep understanding of Australian conditions. Every shade sail we design is crafted to handle the intense sun, strong winds, and unpredictable weather this country is known for. By manufacturing locally in Ballarat, we maintain complete control over every stage of the process, ensuring superior quality and long-lasting performance.
