Hang in there! Both/all of you!

She should had 2 holes on each post below the eye bolt so it can be adjusted down on the sun side. It will offer a lot more shade that way.

This sail-shade idea is perfect for what I need. Thanks

This makes me feel better about my own sail project.

This is awesome! A lot of the other people are hating on it, but something that's movable is great. This spot could be chosen based off of the time of day they go in the pool, or just the best view of the property so you don't see the weird quirks of their house. My parents would love something like this in their pool and could work for summer parties.

@@Navy1977you mean like when he filled it up with rocks? You don't leave them out all the time. That's the point of the carabiners. You unclip it and only put it up when you're going to use it or a little while before. Or you leave it up and then be vigilant about taking it down when windy weather is coming. The real screw up here was they should have put at least one of the eye bolts below the others so it blocks the sun more. But that would be an easy fix. She could even add several holes in each post and it could be moved around. A square one would be even better, but you have to be even better about not leaving those out because they catch a lot more wind

I agree with a number of the comments..... How this was done is asking for trouble!! Could have placed 4 posts in the ground outside of the pool deck, use cable and a shade(s). This allows the screen/shade to be moved to either end the pool and more coverage. A member of my yacht club did something similar, but he has it set up where it retracts on its own based on the wind/weather/time or he can do it himself via an app. He just added a motor to move it. He designed it where it was bigger then needed, as it was cheaper to get it commercial.

I've used much larger shade sails in very windy areas for years, and they work great. Never seen a failure. But you are right, the set up he showed here would never work. If you can't set your post in concrete, then add a "back stay", a length of cord to run from the top of the shade sail pole to the base of an adjacent fence post and the sail would be secure. The base of those fence posts can take hundreds of pounds of pull and still be steady.

Nathan should be placed on probation for that one.

I thought the idea was to give shade to the pool deck? This doesn't do that. A square sail with the 2 of the posts closer to the fence would have done a much better job.

Seriously, no one should follow this, the posts need to be sunk into concrete for a shade sail as the forces involved in properly tensioning and to withstand gusts of wind catching the sail are huge. Those buckets of rocks will get thrown around like nothing if a gust of wind catches that sail and people could get seriously injured. Recommend using galvanised steel supports sunk 1/3 into the ground 2/3 above the ground into holes a foot and a half across then filled with concrete around each post.
