The phone has been running off the hook today and everyone wants to know....Should we take down our shade sail?

Shade sails are not cyclone rated, and while ours are tough and have been known to withstand winds over 90kph, an extreme weather event such as a cyclone has the likely possibility to produce damaging winds over 200kph. Being that a cyclone is also a predicted system that we have now been placed on a watch for here in Mackay, you will find most insurers will not cover any damage caused to or from a shade sail that hasn't been taken down during cyclone preparation activities.

Our advice is to take them down while it is still safe to do so. Though it will be annoying if predictions or tracking changes, our thoughts are it's better to be safe then sorry. This is after-all why shade sails are designed to be removable.

We have some very limited availability tomorrow for any of our customers who are not physically able to take down their sails. Removals cost $50 and another $50 to reinstall when the weather is cleared.
