Hi All
i am wanting to put a shade sail over our pool area had one quote from a perth shade sail company and they wanted just shy of 5K…..seems very expensive to me for 1 sail and it wasnt a huge area.
any recommendations, things/ company’s to steer clear of?
sometimes i wonder if these people come to your property see that you have acreage a big house etc and automatically double their price??
any thoughts?

We’ve just got cheapy ones from deals direct (online shop) and red dot. They are just as good without the huge price tag. We can really notice the difference!
ETA, they may not last as long but we’ve had ours for a couple of years, take them down if it gets too windy and over winter

Yep, we just got pine poles from the local trading post/rural supplies place. I think we got the 3.6m ones but they were a bit tall for the area, but I’d rather too tall than too short!

There is special things for mounting them too. And OH had to custom make some brackets for attaching them to our house, but all up it definately came to under 5K!

We just had a huge shade sail put over our pool. It pretty much covers the whole pool and is absolutely awesome. We put the posts in ourselves that they provided and then they fitted the sail. All up it was around $2500 including concrete. We went through West Coast Shade. Fantastic people and service **)

My son in law just put one up over his – well half, got it from Bunnings and cos they have poured concrete around the pool and did not want to dig it up, so he got steel posts, put capping on the bottom and top and dinabolted them onto the limestone wall – cost him less than $700 to do the lot himself.

I Do Not recommend a company on the Sunshine Coast. They knowingly put a hole in my roof sheets whilst installing shade cloth. After many firm attempts to have this guy come back and plug the hole he will not. However he is willing to pass hes employees number on and suggest I pay him to fix it. After 4 years and many solid attempts I give up. He doesnt give warranty and he doesnt attend appointments.

I have a friend who owns a shade sail business and he would charge about that for a shade sail. They are not cheap that is for sure. Some things are worth paying for the quality.

we had a cheap one and and it fell apart after a couple of months with the strong east winds in the perth hills. We ended up paying the money for a proper installation with one shade sails. I recommend them to anyone in perth shade sails perth

We all rely on pool shades in the greatest heat of summer. Got mine from peninsula shade sails and I loved it. Installing shade sails over your pool will provide an enjoyable environment in your pool and even reduce chemical consumption.

Shade sails are very cool, and they are great for sun protection over a pool. They really need to be properly installed, but there’s no need to spend anywhere near 5K to install them! There are several guides online. I found this installation guide to be quite helpful for our installation.
