Enter the dimensions of your shade sail to calculate the required size.

Shade Sail Size Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the area of your shade sail.

Shade Area = Length * Width (for rectangles)
Shade Area = sqrt((s - a) * (s - b) * (s - c) * (s - d)) (for quadrilaterals)

Variables:

  • Shade Area is the total area of the shade sail (sq.m)
  • Length is the length of the rectangle (m)
  • Width is the width of the rectangle (m)
  • a, b, c, d are the sides of the quadrilateral (m)
  • s is the semi-perimeter of the quadrilateral (m)

To calculate the shade area for a rectangular sail, multiply the length by the width. For a quadrilateral sail, use the semi-perimeter formula.

What is Shade Sail Size Calculation?

Shade sail size calculation is the process of determining the required size of your shade sail based on the dimensions of the area you want to cover. This involves measuring the sides of the area and applying the appropriate formula to find the total area. Proper calculation ensures you get the right size shade sail to provide adequate coverage and protection from the sun.
