An inner courtyard in Graz can store a surprising amount of heat on a hot afternoon. On a terrace on a hillside, however, there is often more air movement. A suitable shade sail must therefore be able to do both: fit the area and respond to the location.
Custom shade sails for Graz and the surrounding area
Between old buildings, terraced houses, and hillside properties, the substrate and mounting differ significantly. In a courtyard, several wall points are possible, but passageways must remain clear. On a hillside, height differences change the position of the sail and thus the casting of shade.
First, the table or lounge, doors, and pathways are marked; then the actual usable tension points follow. Only then does the suitable fabric shape emerge. A rectangle provides a lot of continuous shade, while a trapezoid or a straight custom shape may be more sensible for offset points.

From the desired shade to sail geometry
Do not start with the question "What size fits here?", but with "What should be in the shade and when?". Then, the position of the sun, heights, and available anchor points are brought together. The article on planning the correct shaded area helps with this sequence.
Inner courtyard: Do not plan away air movement
In warm, protected courtyards, HDPE is often pleasant because the fabric remains air-permeable. A waterproof UNICOVR shade sail made of PU-coated polyester provides additional protection against rain but requires a clear slope. Where the water ends up should be determined before the first drill hole is made.
Rectangle, trapezoid, and straight custom shapes
A rectangle efficiently utilizes a regular terrace. A trapezoid can accommodate a slanted wall or offset posts. Straight custom shapes are suitable for more complex areas; concave edges are not intended here. A triangle remains visually light but provides less continuous shade.
Plaster, insulation, railings, extensions, or visible masonry are not automatically suitable anchor points. Before the final measurement, it should therefore be clarified where the tensile forces can be safely introduced into the building structure. If a load-bearing point is missing at the appropriate location, an additional post may be the cleaner solution.
Typical areas of application in Graz
- Graz old building courtyards
- Terraces on hillsides
- Gardens and pool areas
- Catering and hotel areas
On private terraces and in gardens, a clearly defined seating or dining area is usually the focus. For catering, daycare centers, or commercial properties, pathways, multiple users, and often multiple sails are involved. In Graz, therefore, the entire outdoor area is not covered as a blanket rule, but rather the areas that are actually used are shaded.

Select the shape, dimensions, and equipment directly in the configurator. The size of the fabric is smaller than the distance between the mounting points because tension hardware requires space. Use the measurement guide and have statically or structurally critical connections assessed by a local expert.
