Shade 'N' Sails PTY LTD
Murray keeps getting named for quotes and installs that beat the schedule, even in bad weather.
Customers most often mention quick shade sail repairs and decent pricing. Murray comes up a few times for quotes and installs, with one customer saying the team beat their own schedule even with bad weather around. Repairs, not just new sails, are a big part of the local work, so this is a practical option if storm damage has left you in a hurry. Still, two recent reviews complain about poor communication and after service follow up. That is not a strong pattern across 24 reviews, but it is enough to suggest confirming timelines and who will be on site before you book. If you want a custom shaped sail or Ziptraks done while you are busy, ask for Murray on the quote side.

About Shade 'N' Sails PTY LTD
The name says shade sails, but half the recent reviews are about Ziptrak blinds and patio enclosures too. Murray gets praised by name for quotes and clear advice. So does Zenna, who handles some of the fit off work. Peter gets a couple of mentions around custom shade sail builds, especially for tricky sizes like houseboats and large rural properties. They sell direct to homeowners and also do repairs when wind or storms tear a sail. Their repair turnaround is one of the things reviews keep noticing. Several people had a storm damaged pool sail replaced before Christmas, which suggests solid local coordination. They also seem handy when you are away, with one family having a whole Ziptrak install done while they were overseas. The showroom staff get called knowledgeable, which helps if you are not sure what you need yet.
Best for custom shade sails sized to odd spaces, quick storm damage repairs, and Ziptrak blinds for outdoor living areas.

Do they repair damaged shade sails, or only build new ones?+
Repairs are a strong part of their work. Several reviews mention fast turnarounds for ripped or storm damaged sails, including insurance claim jobs. One person had a pool sail replaced before Christmas after wind damage.
Who should I ask for when getting a quote?+
Murray comes up regularly in reviews for quotes, advice and installation. A few customers mention him by name for hitting schedules and understanding the job. If you want specific help, ask for Murray when booking the measure and quote.
Do they do more than shade sails?+
Yes. Ziptrak blinds and sun blinds get just as much attention in reviews. One customer had Ziptraks installed while on holiday. Another mentioned Ziptraks and sun blinds in a new home in Lucas.
Can they make a sail for an unusual shape or space?+
One review describes a shade cover made to fit a 6.3 square metre houseboat frame. Another mentions two sails at a country property 17 years ago that still looked good. Custom sizing seems to be normal for them, not a special favour.
Are they worth considering if I live outside Ballarat?+
Reviews mention Lucas, which is a Ballarat suburb, plus rural and country properties. They appear to cover the wider Ballarat district. If you are outside town, confirm your address is within their install range before quoting.
