N/A — Absolutely delighted with the quality of this cover. Fits our pergola very well and is completely waterproof. Delivery was fast and communication excellent at all times. Very Happy! — Micann
Well designed and made — Further to ordering a bespoke Sun Sail. Following Design Approval and a slight change before Production. A well made product, strong and sturdy. Good find, good web-site. A bit of thought in installation, but easy enough 👍👌 — Martin
Excellent replacement — Love this new cover Arrived safely and is extremely well made Looks even better than the original Thanks very much — P
Great product — This is a really good quality product. It fits perfectly and is very well made. I made a slight error with my measurements which the company picked up on. They sent me a template to fill in and the shades are perfect. Very good quality. I had to reschedule my delivery and it wasn't a problem. Very courteous and very helpful staff. Would use them again — Ljdixon
Great sail, slow delivery — Great sail. Doesn't come with fittings/attachments which would be a handy addition. Delivery was a week longer than estimated and no updates were given during this time. — Caroline
Rain Stays Out — I installed this waterproof shade sail with no issues. The fabric feels premium and customer support guided us before ordering. — Charliejames
Excellent product — I ordered this waterproof pergola cover for my retractable pergola which isn't waterproof. The material used is thick and excellent quality. Made to measure perfectly and the bungees that I ordered with it are also of great, strong quality. Communication throughout was spot on. I received regular updates to inform me of when they had started on production, when production was complete, when it was dispatched and was provided with a tracking number. I was given a date that it would arrive, covers&all held up their side of the bargain, it was just the courier that fell behind on delivering on time. Still 5 stars from me for all around excellent service from covers&all. I would definitely recommend to anyone and would use them again myself. — Lelyates

Shade Winner — What a smooth process! Covers & All delivered a waterproof shade that feels tough, fits well, and makes the outdoor area more useful. — Williamparker
Excellent... — The waterproof shade gives comfortable coverage and feels worth the money. Thank you coversnadall.. the additional D rings make it hold properly.. — Jasonrichardson

Garden Sail Shade – Custom Sun Shade Sails for UK Gardens & Outdoor Spaces
Turn your garden, patio, or pergola into a shaded retreat with a made-to-measure garden sail shade from Covers & All. Whatever British weather throws at you scorching afternoon sun one day, a sudden shower the next our sun shade sails are built to handle it. Choose your shape, size, fabric, and colour, and we'll craft a shade sail tailored exactly to your outdoor space.
Best for open yards, pools, decks, or terraces where you don't have an existing structural roof and need overhead UV defense, so you can spend more time enjoying your garden and less time worrying about the forecast.
Waterproof or Breathable? Choose the Right Shade Sail for Your Garden
Not all shade sails do the same job and picking the right one makes all the difference. We offer 3 shade sail ranges: Classic Sun Shade Sail, Waterproof Sun Shade Sail, and Custom Pergola Covers. Not sure which is right for your garden? Here's a quick way to decide:
- Want sun protection only, with airflow? Go for the Classic Sun Shade Sail (Cover Lite, Elite, or Premium fabric).
- Want protection from sun and rain? Choose the Waterproof Sun Shade Sail (Shade Max+ or Shade Print fabric).
- Shading a pergola or fixed structure? Our Custom Pergola Covers are built for it.
Not sure which is right for you? If you want a shaded spot purely for sunny days, go breathable. If you want a sail that also keeps rain off your seating area, choose waterproof.
Built for British Weather
We know UK gardens don't get one type of weather for long. Our shade sails are engineered to perform through all of it:
- UV Protection: Blocks harmful UV rays to protect your skin and stop garden furniture fading in the sun.
- Rain Runoff Ready: Our waterproof sails are designed to be installed at a slight angle, so rainwater runs off the fabric instead of pooling on top - no sagging, no standing water, no strain on the seams.
- Wind & Tear Resistant: Tear- and abrasion-resistant fabric holds up against strong gusts and everyday wear, so your sail keeps its shape season after season.
- All-Season Durability: With fire-retardant, rot-resistant, and anti-bacterial treatment available on our Shade Premium fabric, your sail stays safe and hygienic to sit under, whatever the season.
Installation tip: For best results, fix one corner slightly lower than the others. This simple angle stops rainwater collecting on the sail and keeps it performing at its best for years.
Ideal for Gardens, Patios, Pergolas and Commercial Spaces
Whether you're shading a family garden, a restaurant terrace, or an event space, our sail shades adapt to the job:
- Home gardens & patios – create a shaded spot for dining, lounging, or entertaining.
- Pools & play areas – protect family and guests from direct sun during long summer days.
- Pergolas – add a custom-fit canopy for structured, semi-permanent shade.
- Commercial spaces – ideal for restaurants, cafés, hotels, and event venues that need durable, professional-grade shade sails at scale.
Be it a rectangle shade sail, square shade sail, triangle sun shade or any other shade sail, our sun shade will keep your outdoors protected for years.

Installing Your Sail Shade: Getting Rain & Snow Runoff Right
A shade sail is only as good as its install. The single most common question we get is whether a sail shade can really handle rain - and the answer comes down to angle. Fit your sail with one corner pitched lower than the others, and rainwater runs straight off instead of pooling on top. Our waterproof range is designed specifically for this: taut, angled installation sheds water efficiently even during a sudden UK downpour, while still giving you full UV shade on sunny days.
Every sail arrives with the fixings you need to get this right the first time - D-rings, turnbuckles, and rope at each corner - whether you're anchoring to a wall, fence, post, or tree.
