Are you a tourism related business based in Wales? If so, there’s never been a better time to enhance your outdoor spaces and protect your visitor experience — rain or shine.
The Welsh Government’s Capital Grants Scheme is offering a fantastic opportunity for tourism operators to invest in weather-proofing infrastructure, with grants of up to £20,000 available. These grants cover up to 75% of the project cost, helping you make impactful improvements without bearing the full financial burden.
At SD Sails, we specialise in the design, manufacture, and installation of high tensile shade sails and custom canopy solutions that not only provide shelter from the elements but also enhance the look, feel, and usability of your space.
From alfresco dining areas to playground coverings, our solutions are ideal for making your business more resilient, functional, and inviting — no matter the weather.
