What shade sails cost in Sydney
The seven things that move the price, and how to get a range for your own yard instead of an average.
Read the cost guideDo you need council approval?
In our experience of ordinary home enquiries, almost never. What decides it is the size, the height, where it sits on the block and the land, and councils differ a little. The guide links to the NSW rules.

“A-Z have done a wonderful job on a shade sail for my rooftop courtyard. Paul and Kazem were reliable and courteous in all our interactions. I couldn’t be happier with the result.”
“Kazem, Paul and his team was fast, professional, and the new sail looks fantastic. Great quality and solid installation. Highly recommended!”
“We recently had A-Z Shades install a cover at our Community Centre, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team did an excellent job in every way.”
