All Shades will be made using a strong polyester webbing edge to create tension in the shade. This is sewn in place using bonded nylon thread, which is highly regarded for its resistance to extreme weather conditions and impervious to perspiration, abrasion, rot and corrosion caused by contact with salt-water and UV. The webbing is finished around marine grade stainless steel rings to each of the corners.

Each shade will come with a complimentary tensioning strap for each corner, this will be attached to the stainless steel ring and the fixing you have installed. (Ideally, you want the shade to be drum tight as this will stop movement in windy conditions).
