THROWING SHADE Set sails to block out the sun
>> SHADE TREES provide the best eco-friendly shelter from the mid-day sun. But where a tree is not an option, a small business based in Revelstoke, B.C., has a chic solution. Shade Sails Canada ( shadesailscanada.com ) makes covers of all sizes to throw shade over swimming pools, pergolas and patios. Made from high-density polyethylene fabric, the sails are stain-resistant and impervious to mould and mildew. Leftover fabric doesn’t end up on the cutting-room floor. It’s upcycled through Shade Sails’ spinoff business, Green Bag Company, which makes heavy-duty totes
and garden grow bags of various sizes up to 50 inches in diameter. A basic eight-foot triangle sail starts at about $400. Marine-grade Danish-made hardware is sold separately. The company offers a range of styles and shapes, along with custom sails, but if you’ve got time and talent, you might try a DIY option. Canadian designer Tamara Robbins Griffith shared instructions for a sail she made for under $150 on a recent episode of Citytv lifestyle show Cityline.
