    Very professional service and product. Easy to follow instructions for installing fixing points and taking measurements. Once ordered it was about 1 week to arrive on my front door, in Sydney! Everything was provided to install the sail myself, including very clear and concise instructions and photos, which made installation a breeze. Could not be happier!

    Super impressed and very pleased with the 2 shade sails supplied by DIY shade sails. After dismally considering the range at our local hardware store, the quality of these sails evident. And it's not just me who is impressed - our handyman installer said the instructions were clear, that he was pleased with the way the sails were constructed and said the wire edging is essential for a long-term quality fit. We were looking to minimise the view of 2 storey next-door units and can say that problem is pretty much solved. Additionally, I'm surprised at how much cooler it is under the sails - this is now the perfect place to wash the car, and it's lovely to sit outside with my morning coffee in private. Alan was friendly, approachable, very helpful and quick to respond to my questions - this is just what you want when you are dealing with a company that is interstate. Thank you again for the best buying experience.

    Do yourself a favour and have a go at putting that shade sail up yourself. We are very pleased with the outcome and quality of the shade sail provided by DIY Shade sails. It was easy to put up and looks great, giving us that much needed shade over the yard for the kids. Just make sure your measurements are spot on and you can't go wrong.

Frequently asked questions

How much do awning installers typically charge?
Costs vary widely depending on the job. Simple repairs or manual awning installations are typically much less than fixed, engineered replacements or large multi-awning jobs; motorisation and after-hours attendance usually increase the total. Quotes commonly combine a call-out fee, an hourly labour rate and materials, with structural or compliance work adding to the scope. Live pricing for your area and the specific job type is shown on this page.
Do awning installers charge call-out fees?
Many awning installers charge a call-out fee to attend and assess the job, which is usually separate from labour and materials. After-hours or emergency attendance is often billed at a higher rate. It's worth confirming the call-out and after-hours policy when requesting quotes.
When do awning installers need a licence?
Installers will often need contractor or builder registration/licence for fixed or structural awnings and for work that requires documented engineering or wind-rating compliance. Motorisation or any work involving electrical alterations may also trigger additional permit or licensed-trade requirements. Requirements vary by state and local council, so check with your local building authority to confirm whether registration or a licensed contractor is required.
