A revolutionary approach to outdoor shading
The Twister Sail hand-operated awning defies the rules for traditional awnings. Featuring a minimalist design, the Twister Sail is able to cover up to a 20′ x 20′ area, and can also lay horizontal unlike standard folding-arm awnings. A few of the unique features that make the Twister Sail special are:
- Low-load attachment to the structure or building
- Feather touch operation
- High wind resistance
- Ability to operate flat, or at an 8° angle to allow for rain runoff
- Made with translucent, rain-proof fabric
- Superior UV protection with UPF50+ fabric, offering more sun protection than standard mesh
In addition to the above, the Twister Sail can be applied in a variety of configurations to seamlessly fit into your space. This is because tension can be provided with either full Tension Columns or Tension Cassettes, meaning the Twister Sail can mount using no columns between two walls or structures.
About Skyco’s Twister Sail product
Unlike traditional “folding arm” awnings, the Twister Sail exerts minimal force on your walls, allowing it to be mounted on virtually any surface. This innovative system operates smoothly, providing customized shade coverage for a variety of spaces, including balconies, gardens, decks, yachts, and restaurants.
With an ample draw length, the Twister Sail can extend over pools and spas, creating a cool oasis on even the hottest days. Its unique design allows leaves and debris to simply roll off the front, keeping the fabric clean and maintenance-free. The self-cleaning fabric membrane further ensures lasting beauty and performance.
Whether you’re looking to shade a spacious patio or enhance a luxurious marina setting, the Twister Sail offers unmatched flexibility, adapting to your needs and providing more coverage than a shade triangle.
