How to Measure
Follow these simple steps to accurately measure your space for the perfect shade sail fit.
1
Measure Your Space
Identify a triangular or rectangular area for your shade sail. Record all three side lengths for triangles, or length and width for rectangles.

Example Calculation
For an 18 ft × 14 ft rectangular area:
Diagonal = √(18² + 14²) = 22.8 ft
Aspect Ratio: 18:14 = 9:7
Step 2: Determine Sail Size
Deduct diagonal 1-3 ft for mounting hardware:
Adjusted diagonal: 19.8 ft - 21.8 ft
Corresponding sail dimensions:
• Length: 15.7 ft - 17.3 ft
• Width: 12.2 ft - 13.6 ft
(Calculated via reverse Pythagorean theorem)
