What affects the price
— Sail size. Bigger sails need more fabric, heavier edge cables and stronger fixings.
— New posts vs existing points. Each new steel post with a concrete footing adds $500–$1,500 to the job.
— Fabric type. Standard shade cloth is the baseline; waterproof PVC membrane roughly doubles the sail cost.
— Wind exposure & engineering. Exposed sites need heavier posts, deeper footings and sometimes engineering certification.
— Ground conditions. Rock, tree roots or services where footings must go add excavation cost.
Tips before you post
— Ask for the post size and footing depth in the quote — undersized posts are why cheap sails sag or fail.
— Choose a fabric with a UV rating and warranty of ten years or more for Australian sun.
— Take sails down in severe storm warnings if your fittings allow it — it dramatically extends their life.
