Can a waterproof sail replace a patio roof?

In many cases yes, provided the site, fixings and drainage are suitable. This is normally confirmed during an on-site measure-up before fabrication.

Do waterproof sails block the sun too?

Yes. Waterproof PVC sails also provide strong UV protection, so you get all-weather coverage from a single product.

All-Weather Waterproof Sails

At North Coast Shade, we install custom waterproof shade sails in Grafton that keep your outdoor area usable in sun and rain — ideal for decks, patios, alfresco zones and commercial outdoor dining where weather can shut a space down.

Each sail is engineered with the right tension, fall and drainage points so water sheds cleanly instead of pooling. That means your outdoor area stays dry, protected and ready to use, no matter what the weather is doing.

Our waterproof sails are made from high-quality PVC and designed for all-weather protection. We measure, fabricate and install each sail to suit the site, with the same care we bring to our residential shade, commercial shade and umbrella work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. They are made from a waterproof PVC fabric and engineered so water sheds off cleanly — when correctly designed and installed, they perform well in heavy rain.

The key is in the fall and tension — a sail that's pitched and tensioned correctly will shed water rather than pool it. Seam construction and fixing points also matter, since these are the areas most likely to leak if cut corners.
