Sam's Sails

Sam's Sails was established in Launceston in 1998 and is family owned and operated. The business is an authorised dealer for Skyspan Shade Umbrellas and Shadowspec Umbrellas, an authorised fabricator of Outdoor Ziptrak Blinds, and a drop-off point for the Doyle Sails sail making group.

It offers shade sails, outdoor ziptrak blinds, awnings and canvas goods. Services include a free measure and quote, insurance claims and wholesale payment options, with guarantees, insurance and warranties provided. Sam's Sails services customers statewide across Tasmania, including Launceston, Hobart, Devonport, Burnie, Swansea and Strahan.

Sam's Sails has earned a solid reputation around Launceston for outdoor blinds and sailmaking work, with feedback repeatedly pointing to the durability and finish of the completed installations. Zip track blinds fitted for outdoor areas are described as lasting through rough weather and still looking fresh after long periods of use, a point that comes up often when longevity is discussed. The team is consistently described as approachable and willing to help, taking time during quoting to understand requirements and to work out solutions for awkward parts of a space instead of applying a standard approach.

Installation is characterised as efficient, and the fitters are said to walk through how the blinds should be operated once the work is done. Follow-up after the job is mentioned as a strength, as are the clear product guidance and the reasonable pricing on outdoor blinds. Smaller jobs, including a trampoline repair, are also described as handled in a helpful manner. Communication from the first quote through to handover is a theme that recurs across the feedback. The longevity of the finished blinds and the care shown during fitting remain the aspects most frequently noted by those who have dealt with the team.
