What Sets Shade Sails Apart from Other Canopies?
Unlike awnings, shade sails are crafted using cables to suspend fabric at a certain tension, which creates the effect of a scoop in a sail. This requires specialized software and knowhow, both of which you’ll find evident in the beautiful shade sails that Roberts Awnings has installed at homes and businesses throughout this area.
