Custom-made shade sails provide UV protection and allow children to learn and play outside safely. With an almost unlimited degree of versatility in design options, colours and material choice, Selbys Canvas and Shade can make shade sails that brighten up school grounds and encourage outdoor play.

High-quality materials offer excellent protection against harmful UV radiation, creating safer outdoor spaces. By providing shade, they can help reduce heat gain in adjacent buildings. Shade sails themselves offer a natural cooling solution, reducing reliance on energy-intensive air conditioning.

Selbys Canvas and Shade manufacture quality shade sails that support more active outdoor play and create significantly cooler play surfaces for children.

Shade sails enhance public spaces by creating cooler, more comfortable environments that encourage people to spend more time outdoors. They provide effective protection from harsh sunlight and UV exposure, making areas like playgrounds, seating zones, and community gathering spots safer and more enjoyable.

At Selbys Canvas and Shade we work with councils, installers and developers to improve amenity, support year‑round use, and contribute to vibrant, welcoming community spaces.

Shade Sails offer a cost-effective solution that can expand usable space and provide protection for customers, visitors and staff.

Custom shade sails can be manufactured in various shapes (triangular, square, rectangular, or more complex geometric forms) in a wide array of colours to complement the surrounding environment or commercial branding.

From initial design to final manufacture, every step is undertaken with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a shade solution that not only looks great but stands the test of time. You can count on our Australian-made shade sails to provide superior UV protection and years of reliable service.

We specialise in custom-made shade sail manufacturing, crafting premium shade sails for your pool, driveway or outdoor entertainment space. We use only the highest quality fabrics from all the leading shade cloth manufacturers, custom-made to order ensuring a perfect fit and long-lasting performance against the harsh Australian sun.

At Selbys Canvas and Shade, we work closely with our clients to create unique and aesthetically pleasing designs. This includes considering the shape, size, and anchor point locations to ensure optimal coverage and tension with fabrics that are typically high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and are chosen for their UV resistance (offering up to 99% UVR protection), strength, and ability to withstand various weather conditions, including strong winds and rain.

A custom-made pool cover can cut down on maintenance by keeping debris like leaves, dirt and bugs out of the pool. This reduces the need for cleaning and excessive chlorination.

Pool covers help to maintain water quality by reducing exposure to sunlight and contaminants, keeping your pool clean in autumn and winter ready for use in the summer months.

Selbys Canvas and Shade manufacture pool covers tailor made to the exact dimensions of your pool, ensuring maximum coverage and aesthetic integration. Our covers fold away when not in use into an easy-to-handle carry bag for trouble free storage.
