shade sail

Tensioned fabric awning

A shade sail is a tensioned fabric canopy stretched between anchor points to provide protection from sun.

Unlike traditional awnings or umbrellas, shade sails are triangular or rectangular sheets of permeable material suspended at corners to create architectural-looking outdoor coverage: We installed a shade sail over the patio.

Common in playgrounds, restaurants, and residential yards.
