Very impressed with Alex and team at Hammer Excavations. They were professional, quick to respond to queries, gave great advice on our backyard and the quality of their work was fantastic. We had a difficult site to work with, but Alex and his team knew what needed to be done to improve it and make it look amazing. Would highly recommend Hammer Excavations and will be calling them for our next project.

Why Choose Professional Shade Sail Installation
Installing a shade sail is more than hanging fabric between posts. It involves structural design, correctly angled tension, wind resistance, strong posts and footings, proper drainage, and compliance with council bylaws. Poor installation leads to sagging sails, damage in storms, uneven tension, or safety risks. With our combined experience in earthworks, post holes, site cuts and rock breaking, we bring all the capabilities needed for a reliable and long-term solution.
What We Provide & Our Capabilities
- Custom Shade Sail Design – Size, shape, and slope tailored to your site (triangle, square, polygon, multiple panels).
- High-Quality Materials – Shade cloth with UV protection, quality fittings, robust posts.
- Strong, Compliant Posts & Footings – Using augers, hole-drilling, and concrete footings sized to withstand local wind loads.

Shade Sail Installation Process
- Consultation & Planning – We begin with a site visit or by reviewing your photos/plans. We assess anchor points, existing structures, sun angles, wind exposure, council requirements (permits), and discuss your aesthetic or functional goals.
- Design & Quote – Based on assessed conditions, we create a custom design, propose the size/shape of sail, recommend post type and footing size, and deliver a detailed quote.
- Groundwork & Post Installation – Our earthmoving and post-hole augering crew dig and install sturdy posts & footings, ensuring alignment, proper embedment depth, and structural integrity.
- Shade Sail Fabrication & Fit-Out – The sail is manufactured or selected, then installed with precision, tensioned properly to prevent sagging, and aligned for optimal water runoff, all while being secured with high-quality fittings.
- Final Inspection & Aftercare – Once installed, we inspect for structural soundness, check tension, and review safety. We also guide maintenance (including cleaning, checking tension, and inspecting for wear) so the sail lasts for many years.
