No doubt about it. South Africans have great accents and always clearly spoken. Excellent 👌 thank you very much.

very clear and easy to understand video!, really gave me everything i need to attach mine. thanks for your time and sharing! awesome yard also!

Thank you for the tree attachment idea. Looks great.

Thank you, very helpful explanation about what you were doing and why

Thank you very much for this very detailed set of instructions. It will be useful for my own property soon.

tree attachment is great, thank you.

Thank you so much! Will definitely try this 👍👍

Great instruction! Thank you.

Hi great video! The most technically accurate one ive seen. You tell us how to find the proper placement of the sail with no creases, thank you for that! I would like to anchor my sail to the brick wall. What is the name of the masonry anchor you are using and are there other names it could go by? I live in the US and am having trouble finding the masonry anchor with a loop on it like in your video. EDIT: took me some time but I finally found something. "Expansion eye bolts" is the search term I had to use. Great video, thanks again!

very clear instructions.

Thank you for showing the current sail you installed and the previous one. It lets me know that attaching to brick will be fine. I wondered why some said NO. I figured it could be, if done correctly. What kind of eye bolt did you use to attach to brick as I am not familiar with one that has the anchor already attached to the eye bolt. Thanks from TEXAS!! I found this...is this the correct item and size? Preamer 5-Pack Eyebolt Bolt Stainless Steel Wall Concrete Brick Anchor Expansion Bolts Ring Screw Eyes, M6x70mm? Or an M8x60mm?

Can this be done on cinderblock that was built to serve as a fence to separate different backyards?

hope you still read this and respond but what is the strength of such an anchorbolt in the brick wall, can it sustain some heavy wind to the sail?

the anchor bolt if installed correctly is very strong www.thestructuralworld.com/2018/04/15/anchoring-to-concrete/ It does depend what you mean by heavy wind though? In my installation the cable will snap before the bolt come out from the wall which is my safety measure, its about 500kg rated rope wire.

Hi, thanks for the clear instructions. Very helpful indeed. How about the brick wall? Is it double brick? Mine is brick veneer. Im worried if it can withstand certain amount of horizontal pulling?

@@ianzk1 Mine is a brick facade which is one brick, not a double brick. I think if you do it per his instructions it will work plus with the anchors he used. I am going to do it. I got to thinking and reasoned that for it to fail the brick and mortar would have to give way for it to fail in that brick. I do wonder if his brick is solid unlike mine that has the holes on the inside? I'm still going to try it. if it fails I have extra brick. You only live once. :-) Now, if you were going to be jumping in the middle of a sail, probably not. HA.

@@xsteel3292 Thanks! It's comforting to know that there's two of us trying it on brick veneer. If it the brick pops out, I'll just replace it as well. I'll be using M10 eye plates in combination with 8mm turnbuckle, 8mm D shackles, and 8mm snap hooks. I'll probably use 4mm wire ropes. My shade sail is 5.4M x 5.4M. We'll see how it goes.

@@ianzk1 How is your sail holding up? I am about to put one up. It will be attached to the rear brick wall of my house. Technically it is a facade (I'm pretty sure they are hollow bricks). Mine will be 15' x 20'. I was planning on attachments every 5' (that will be 5 across the long span). I am thinking that will spread out the horizontal load enough. Maybe I could go with 3, don't want to overkill.

Mine fills with rain water 😮

Lol, how common is this!
