Sun sail for the balcony
Sun shade sail for the balcony – shade provider for your home
A summer breakfast in the fresh air, a cozy after-work beer in the lantern light, or a quick smoke break:
The balcony is the perfect place to relax. If the balcony is not covered, this can significantly shorten the time that the mini wellness oasis can be used. A practical sun sail provides a remedy here.
Our shade sails: durable and weather-resistant
To ensure you enjoy your shade sail for a long time, we provide a stable anchoring of the posts, precisely tailored to your balcony. If required, the shade sail is also easily removable. Thanks to multiple-stitched seams, densely woven synthetic fibers, and reinforced hems on edges and brackets, the canopy also withstands difficult weather conditions well.

WeatherMAX 80 - the top material for sun and rain protection (waterproof)
WeatherMAX® made from yarn-dyed Satura maxTM fibers. This yarn is a technical polymer featuring exceptional UV-resistant properties for long-lasting colorfastness and strength. The commonly used term "waterproof“ is to be understood as rain protection or rain-repellent.
hydroMAX Finish increases the water column and thereby enables outstanding results in water and mold resistance without, however, reducing the breathability of the fiber.
WeatherMAX® is characterized by very high tear resistance and kink resistance.

Key benefits of our balcony sun sails
Your private retreat
Our custom-made balcony solutions create a stylish barrier against prying eyes from across the way. Enjoy complete privacy and a sheltered atmosphere, even in densely built residential areas or apartment buildings.
Space-saving balcony sail
Even in small spaces, we deliver maximum impact. Our balcony sails are custom-fitted so that every centimeter of your outdoor area is optimally shaded—without cumbersome umbrella stands.
Wind stable on every floor
Wind is an issue, especially on higher floors. We use high-strength materials and special fastening systems that can withstand gusty winds and ensure lasting safety.
Urban lifestyle
Transform your city balcony into an exclusive loggia. Our modern designs enhance the facade and create a high-end ambiance that invites you to linger above the urban skyline.
Electric sun sail control via app for all sail sizes up to 80 m²
Our electric sail shades offer not only a high level of operating convenience, but also a variety of design forms and possible applications. If you place great value on ease of use, you have come to the right place.
Sun Sail control via app
Sun, wind, and rain sensor with remote control (Model: ReWiSo) of the company Rademacher
Our electric sun sails are controlled by a remote control or an app. This allows you to extend and retract your electric sun sail as you wish. To make this possible, an electric motor with a winding shaft is installed on two posts, which electrically rolls up the sun sail for you. In addition, you can determine the size and position of the sail using the remote control. In addition to the sun sail control, we offer a built-in sun, wind, and rain sensor, which is also controlled with a remote control. The sensor informs you about the weather situation and can automatically roll up the electric sun sail in severe weather conditions. The electric sun sail system thus guarantees uncomplicated operation, even when you are not on site.

Die robusten Stoffe sind außerdem sehr wind- und wasserundurchlässig und können zusätzlich imprägniert werden. Damit können Sie den Balkon bei jedem Wetter nutzen und schützen Ihre Balkonmöbel. Sie möchten sich doch einmal sonnen oder nachts die Sterne betrachten? Kein Problem: All unsere Sonnensegel sind manuell oder vollautomatisch aufrollbar.
FAQs about our balcony shade sails
Are the balcony sun sails from Solar Protect waterproof?
Yes. We offer both air- and water-permeable HDPE fabrics for optimal ventilation and high-quality polyester fabrics with water-repellent properties and increased rain protection. This allows you to continue using your balcony or patio comfortably even in light rain.
How wind-stable are sun sails on the balcony?
Because strong gusts of wind often occur on balconies, at Solar Protect we rely on robust attachment points and elastic tensioning systems that optimally compensate for wind loads.
Can custom-made sun sails be produced for any balcony size?
Definitely. Every project is unique. We manufacture your sun sail to the millimeter according to your exact dimensions so that it fits the architecture of your balcony perfectly.
How do I best clean and maintain my shade sail?
Cleaning is straightforward. As a rule, it is sufficient to rinse the shade sail thoroughly about once a year with a warm, strong jet of water. This keeps the fabrics clean and well-maintained for the years to come.
Does the sun sail need to be taken down in the winter?
No. The sun sail does not need to be removed in winter. Even without a protective cover, it can generally remain installed. For additional protection in the colder months, we optionally offer a matching protective cover for the sail.
Do the sun sails also provide privacy from neighbors?
Yes, thanks to the flexible installation, the sail shades from Solar Protect can be tilted or positioned in such a way that they not only provide shade, but also effectively block prying eyes from above or the side.
