Ingenua Shade Sails

A fully adjustable, flexible shade sail system with high grade fabrics and a multitude of options to enable installation almost anywhere.

The modern design provides effective shade for both domestic and commercial situations.

The flexibility and the ability to easily adjust the angle of the sail is unique.

Available in 16 fabric options.

Shapes and sizes

Ingenua sail systems are available in a number of different shapes and sizes. They can be used individually or used in combination with each other to create large areas of contemporary looking shade.

Consider different options to create interesting shapes. The flexibility of the Ingenua system allows you to easily change the angle of the sail, moving the shade as the sun crosses the sky.

Use the table below to decide which shape or shapes best fit your needs and then click the picture to go directly to details for that style.

Square sail

3.0m square
4.0m square

Please note that you need to allow additional space for the connecting ropes. You normally need to add at least 113cm to the size of the sail to indicate how much space is required to install the sail. so for example a 4.0m square sail requires a space of 5.13cm.

Fitting Ingenua shade sails

There are a number of different ways to fit Ingenua shade sails. Careful planning is required to ensure correct installation, but once the planning is done all the work is simple enough to be carried out by a DIY enthusiast or a local builder.

For each corner of the sail you need to decide how it is going to be fixed.

Fixing point
Solution
Example
Existing wall or structure Use wall fixing kits
No existing wall or structure Use Ingenua Post

Tensioning Ingenua shade sails

Sail tensioner is included on each corner of every sail.

It is used to tension the sail by sliding the metal part towards the pole.

Fixing Ingenua to a wall

There are three options available that allow the Ingenua shade to be fixed directly to a wall

Option
Solution
Example
Fix to a wall at a specific height Fixed wall mount kit
Fixed wall mount. Fixes the height of the sail on the wall, but enables easy set-up and take down with a pulley system.
Fix to a wall enabling height adjustment Adjustable wall mount kit
1.65m long slider unit is fixed directly to a wall or existing vertical surface. This enables the sail to be angled, even when fixed to a wall.
Fix corner of sail directly to wall.

Bolts

Fix directly to wall with bolts. This can only be done on one corner of each sail. It can make taking the sails down difficult as they would probably need to be mounted at a point high up on a wall.

Bolts would need to be purchased from a local hardware store, as the construction of the wall will dictate the choice of bolt.

Ingenua posts system

The Ingenua posts system provides excellent flexibility and enables the shade sails to be installed almost anywhere. The posts provide support for the sails where the is no existing wall or structure to support the corner of the sail. The posts also enable easy height adjustment of the sail to give users flexible shade.

 

Posts can be installed either vertically or at a 75 degree angle, leaning away from the sail. The angled posts create a more contemporary looking structure.
Posts are supplied with a slider unit to adjust the height of the sail, so they can be easily angled.

Easy step is an optional extra. It provides a small platform to stand on, to make it easier to reach higher up the pole.

Installing Ingenua posts

The decision on how to install the post would normally be made based upon the existing surface that the post is to be mounted onto and how permanent a base is required.
