This video was awesome, Thank you! By watching this video I understand now that I have been going at attaching my awning incorrectly. I am looking forward to revamping my setup today and won't have to worry about it for the rest of Summer. Thank you again!

Thank you! The pulley system really makes your installation process a lot simpler.

Great video I've learned a lot

Thanks for your feedback, Aaron. We've got more tutorials on the way!

Thank you for all the techniques on the process of sail setup. They are great. As a life long sailer and a former worker at a boat yard and yacht basin, I understand rigging. I recommend you research proper use of the stainless steel rigging from a sail boat prospective to get maximum reliability from your hardware. There is room for improvement.

Thanks for your kind words! Rest assured the installation techniques described in this video are optimal for the longevity and reliability of Shade Sails and their hardware! Take care.

Do you use springs with your sun shades? I'm in a high wind area and I put a high-tension spring on mine, but it does move more because of it. Is that bad?

Great questions and an interesting design! Our goal is for our fully-tensioned shade sails to remain stationary at all times, even in high wind events. This is why we use our tensioning devices to get the Sails tight like a drum!

thanks for a good learning video,i want one but im just wondering what will be the weight of the shade sail material for size 14ftx14ft or 18ftx18ft??? thank you

Can you install the clips on vinyl siding?

@ShadeSailsCanadaTV

Жыл бұрын

Hi @pamelasobek1357 you can certainly anchor through vinyl siding into the structure of your home. We recommend anchoring into a minimum of 4" of substantial material to adequately support the forces a properly tensioned shade sail creates.

Did you angle it ? I’m not sure if I need to for rain

Great question! Angling your Shade Sail can help water to trend toward and run off a specific corner. If the Shade Sail is not angled, the water will still drain through the permeable shade fabric.

What hardware are you using to attach it to the side of the house?

Can you anchor a sail to Fascia? I have a brick home and don't want to drill into it.

@ShadeSailsCanadaTV

@messageswithmarni5706 unfortunately not. Our sails are tensioned which results in static loads of around 200lbs per anchor point. We recommend a minimum of 3" of structural substance to anchor into. Our brick anchors are amazing - minimal size and easy to install. Give us a call if you'd like to learn more - 1-855-899-8290

what happens when wind blows tree around

Great question Bill! The movement at the top of the tree should not have enough of an effect on the base of its trunk (where we have anchored) to affect the structural integrity of the Shade Sail.

How does it handle rain? Does it collect it like a bucket?

@ShadeSailsCanadaTV

Hi Bill, the majority of rain will shed to the lowest point. Some rain will seep through the fabric as well. We do offer waterproof fabric, but it does require careful design considerations to ensure it doesn't pool water. Give us a call and we can explain further - 1-855-899-8290

I made the mistake of ordering a shade the width of my deck to attach to the wall. It does noes work because on one end is the eves or soffit. I wish someone would have had a video how to install over a deck with impediments. My goal was not only sun block, but also some water block. I set the out post in the wrong place as well. Example shade is 14x 14. I place the plat 14 apart. The shade flapped in the wind, next day bad wind storm came up. So diy is a bust for me. Make a video on where to place the eyes based on size of shade over a deck please. Maybe someone else want waste their time and money.

4:09 M8 or M10 Turnbuckles?

@ShadeSailsCanadaTV

M8 (5/16") is sufficient for most sails under 40'. Have a look at our hardware: shadesailscanada.com/products/turnbuckle

@@josephzino694 it can be removed along with your shade sail if you wish, or you can leave it permanently around your tree. Up to you!

the triangle ones look like a g-string for your deck, they also don't cover much, Id rather use the square ones.

Well said Steve! 4-point Shade Sails effectively double the shade coverage!
