Having an enclosed pool in your backyard can be a wonderful way to beat the heat and enjoy some refreshing exercise. However, with the sun’s harmful rays beating down, it’s important to protect yourself and your loved ones from overexposure to UV radiation. This is where shade sails come in – not only do they offer protection from the sun, but they also add a stylish touch to your pool area.

Shade sails are a popular option for those looking to add shade and style to their enclosed pool areas. They are a cost-effective alternative to permanent structures such as pergolas or gazebos, and they can be easily customized to fit any pool area. In addition, shade sails are highly versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, from residential to commercial.

In this blog post, we will explore some design and style ideas for shade sails in enclosed pool areas. From color selection to unique installation techniques, we will cover a range of options that will help you create a unique and personalized look for your pool area. Whether you prefer a neutral color scheme or a bold and vibrant design, we’ve got you covered with plenty of ideas to inspire your next project. So, let’s dive in and explore the world of shade sail design!

Color Selection

One of the most important aspects of shade sail design is color selection. The color you choose can impact the overall look and feel of your pool area. Consider using a neutral color such as beige or gray to create a calming and relaxing environment. 

Alternatively, bold colors such as blue or red can create a vibrant and energetic atmosphere. You can mix and match colors to create a unique and personalized look. Our shade sails come in 19 fun and exciting color options to get the perfect fit for your home.

Size and Shape

Our shade sails come in various sizes and three different shapes, allowing you to customize your design to fit your pool area. Consider using multiple smaller sails instead of one large sail to add visual interest and dimension. You can also experiment with different shapes, such as triangular or rectangular sails, to create a unique and eye-catching design.

Layering

Layering your shade sails is another way to add dimension and style to your enclosed pool area. Consider using multiple sails in different sizes and colors, layering them on top of each other to create a visually appealing and unique design. This can also help to provide additional shade and protection from the sun.

Unique Installation

The installation of your shade sails can also impact the overall design and style of your pool area. At Screen Enclosures and More, we install shade sails using a unique installation technique such as a cantilever or asymmetrical installation to create a modern and unique look. 

Additionally, using a combination of anchor points such as your pool screen enclosure, walls, trees, and poles can add visual interest and dimension. During our initial design consultation, we’ll discuss some options for installing your shade sails and customize it to your preferences.

Custom Design

For a truly unique and personalized look, consider designing your own shade sails. Custom-designed sails can be made to fit any size or shape, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind look for your enclosed pool area. You can choose your own colors and patterns to create a design that perfectly matches your personal style and aesthetic.

Lighting

Incorporating lighting into your shade sail design can add an extra layer of style and functionality. Consider adding string lights or LED lighting to your sails to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Lighting can help to illuminate your pool area at night, allowing you to enjoy it even after the sun goes down.

Material Selection

The material you choose for your shade sails can also impact the overall design and style of your enclosed pool area. Our shade sails are made from the highest quality SolaMesh™ fabric and carry a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
