Predictably its the fashionable French who are blazing the trail and rushing to buy this seasons must have garden style accessory.
The use of sail-cloth to provide shade has been well established for many years. It is recorded that many Roman arenas used this type of shade. In the modern era the technology has been developed significantly to produce a lightweight, attractive and easy to manage material that blocks 95% of UV radiation, yet has a porous surface which allows hot air to escape from beneath - providing truly cool shade.

The very poor Spring weather in Europe has kept customers away from garden centers and other outdoor accessory shops, but this is changing rapidly as the long awaited sunshine has finally arrived. Traditionally, the Easter holiday weekend marks the start of life outdoors as people start to think about the garden and where they will entertain friends and family. However, Easter this year was a total wash out with people giving more thought to making the fuel supplies last until the weather warmed up.
