At Exe Sails & Covers, we’ve spent over a decade designing and manufacturing beautiful, functional shades and awnings for a wide variety of outdoor spaces.
We’ve worked on everything from contemporary shade sails to traditional awnings and bespoke interior shades – each one crafted with precision and care to enhance the space it’s made for. Whether you’re looking to create a cool, shaded retreat in your garden or add a stylish awning to a patio, café, or terrace, we can design a shade solution that’s tailored to you.
Our team will work with you to understand your needs, your setting, and your aesthetic – ensuring the finished design fits perfectly and performs beautifully.
Although our heritage lies in sails, we don’t typically make shade sails from old sailcloth, and for good reason! Traditional sail materials aren’t waterproof and don’t cope well with prolonged UV exposure. Instead, we use specialist awning and shade fabrics designed for outdoor performance.
These advanced materials are UV-resistant and weatherproof, strong, lightweight and low-maintenance, and available in a wide range of colours and finishes. The result is a long-lasting, professional installation that combines style, comfort, and durability – ideal for gardens, patios, courtyards, and commercial spaces.
Every project we take on is completely bespoke.
Whether you want a statement shade sail, a retractable awning, or something entirely unique, we’ll help you bring your vision to life.
