Shade Stay - Shade Cloth Fastening Strips - Professional Finish & Sag Prevention

Shade Stay - Shade Cloth Fastening Strips - Professional Finish & Sag Prevention

Achieving a flat, tight finish on shade cloth can be difficult with just nails or staples, which often lead to tearing or sagging between attachment points. Rally Shade Stay strips provide the solution by creating a continuous holding edge. These 600mm strips are designed to sandwich the cloth against the frame, distributing the tension evenly to prevent sagging and ensure a neat, professional appearance that lasts.

Best For DIYers and builders wanting a perfectly flat, taut finish on pergolas and fences without the risk of the fabric tearing or drooping.

Key Features

• Professional Finish: Creates a clean, straight edge that hides raw fabric ends and looks significantly neater than using individual nails or staples alone.

• Prevents Sagging: By holding the cloth firmly along the full length of the strip, it stops unsightly drooping and billowing in the wind.

• Reduces Tearing: Distributes the tension across the strip rather than concentrating it on a single nail head, extending the life of your shade cloth.

• Versatile Installation: Designed to be easily nailed or screwed into timber or metal frames, making it suitable for a wide range of structures.

• Modular Lengths: Supplied in convenient 600mm strips that can be butted together for long runs or cut down for short corners.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
