Sail shades have been around since the ancient Egyptians and later the Greeks and Romans who used large pieces of fabric to shade themselves from the sun.

A sale shade is incredibly easy to fit as this video from the show ‘Love Your Garden with Alan Titchmarsh’ shows and it can instantly create a stunning new space in your garden.
