A shade sail carport is a carport structure that utilises tensioned fabric sails to provide overhead protection for vehicles. Unlike traditional carports, which typically consist of solid roof panels or metal frames, shade sail carports feature fabric canopies stretched between support posts or anchor points. These fabric sails are made from durable, UV-resistant materials such as high-density polyethene (HDPE) or polyester, offering reliable protection from the sun's harsh rays while allowing air circulation to keep the space cool.
