One thing to note about triangle shade sails: They work totally fine, but you'll need 2-3 shade sails for total coverage of an area. The spacing on my deck did not allow for it, so I replaced my original sail with a rectangular shade sail and haven't looked back 😎

@mandapierce3012 4 года назад

Robuilt on the upside, a triangle was perfect for us because we needed it to stay open over our grill.

@@Robuilt had a ton of rain since so attempting now... After watching your video AGAIN!! {I probably count as at least 5 views by now!} Decided to go with chain rather than cable since it's west side of house I don't have to look at IT & doing it solo so easier for me to adjust. Worried about attaching to house gable in wrong places but what's a few holes to patch, right? 🙄

@donwyates 2 месяца назад

Just saw a video of a guy putting one up that used springs (like for a porch swing) between posts (or structure) and cable ends. Allows for a bit of "give", while still being under adequate tension. Also, using carabineers between between cable loops and turnbuckles allows for easier connect/disconnect.

@workaholic5066 3 года назад

Honest effort and a quick solution to add some necessary shade to your deck. However I would seriously caution anyone from installing any kind of fasteners into your soffit trim, especially if it's not into a structural component like a roofing truss or rafter board, and if they are not capable of handling the dynamic wind loads on the threads' fastening hardware, or you're using a thick sail. You're just asking for trouble during a moderate wind event.

@vrr3256 2 года назад

you can use carabiners to attach the sail to the turnbuckle so you can easily remove & reinstall the sail. You may need to loosen the turnbuckle to remove carabiner depending upon how much tension you have.

@jimschranz6542 4 года назад

My brother lives in Rocky Mountains and has three of these randomly placed on a big deck, it can get windy so he used spring loaded attachments along with the turnbuckles, if it's real windy it's better to let the sail give a little rather than being so taunt, it looks awesome, with a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains,

@bryans5150 4 года назад

Thanks for the content. The only thing that needs to be mentioned is the posts should be mounted on a bias away from the sail. When tension is applied, the post will then appear plumb. There is a lot of force at play here and the posts tend to continue bending into the center of the sail. Thanks again, good job.

@Clickumentary 4 года назад

That's a great point. Coming from a sailing background I can attest to the heavy load from main to boom to mainsheet. I want to do this under a pergola 'canopy' but I'm beginning to wonder how much load will be applied to 6x6 posts and ledger board. Much to consider.

@bryans5150 4 года назад

@@Clickumentary there is a tremendous amount of stress on the posts. Consider the amount of leverage the sail has against a post of any size when the pull point is 10 feet or more from the ground. I recently saw an installation with 25% bias on posts and looked good. Also wood will keep bending season to season. May wind up with a bannana!

We hung our rectangle sail, worked great for shade, got 1 1/2 inches of rain in an hour, didn’t run off and pulled the hook straight. Tried again heavier hooks. Same thing happened while we were out of town. Third time tried one corner into the brick wall, again pulled out. We are going for the fourth try as soon as it isn’t 105 degrees. Gotta say that much rain is totally unusual in the Texas panhandle. Really frustrating.

My dimensions are the same as yours (8X18), and in the video you said you used a 6 X 15 I think. The amazon link you attached doesn't seem to have that option though. Do you have any ideas for a 6X15 or 6X16? I'm having a tough time finding those dimensions. thanks again!

It leads you to have the truly amazing Patio Sun Shade Sail Canopy for sure.

@jovannyramos1993 4 года назад

Great video, going to put poles in the ground this week to install two 12x12 shade sales over my deck. Are you worried about the hooks on your poles being a bit small/weak, and attaching the other side hooks to the trim of your house in case there's heavy wind and rips your sail off? Just wondering, there have been other tutorials with more conservative installs and I'm liking your method for easier removal if i don't want them up on an overcast day (I live in western washington XD).

@Robuilt 4 года назад

Hey man, first of all, thanks for taking the time to watch my video! I had a shade sail installed (the triangle one at the beginning of the video) for about a year with no issues. These hooks are on the smaller side, but have help up plenty fine! But you could def buy the next size up for extra security and a little peace of mind. I considered doing that for this install, but I didn't want to go to Home Depot (due to the shelter in place) for such a small item. I've had a few pretty windy days too, and again not a single issue! Hope that helps!

@toddsutton2437 4 года назад

Depending if the shade sails have perimeter cabling, which professionally made shade sails will ! For a 12m x12m shade sail you would need to have posts that are around 125x125x5mm steel and around 1.5m deep by 450mm wide. For peace of mind and being able to sleep at night during storms ! Using little open end hooks like so are not ideal especially that size ! Hope it helps stay safe, bigger is better 😎

So I’m looking at a 20/20 sun shade I see most only hang on 4 corners and don’t have rivot holes every few Feet. Any good ideas it’s going over a back patio to connect to a wood pergola

@Robuilt 4 года назад

If I'm reading this correctly, I think you would still use the method in my video no? You could still use the cable railing method and attach it to hooks on the wood pergola.

What is your thoughts of that on the front of a rural home. Thanks.

@Robuilt 4 года назад

I have actually seen this in person in my own neighborhood and it looks great. I will say that if you want to do this, I think you'd want to install two triangle shades in a cool way to give it a little edge. Two rectangle shades would work too, I just think the triangle combo is usually a little sharper.

I always found using a 'Sail Shade' works a whole lot better than one of those 'Shade Sails', just saying like....... also if you had attached the (centre point) corner that you hooked up to the roof area, if you attached that above the door and the attached the remaining point on a post just above the seating on the right it would have offer more shade over both the seating on the left and on the right.

@JoeOrsak 3 года назад

Question: I'm considering installing this over our new deck rather than building a new roof. The main motivation is providing covering that we could sit under for light rain. One of the biggest things we enjoy about the deck is the openness of it and we're very reluctant about building something that would cover it all up. So, I thought about these as an option. However, this looks more like a permanent install. Is there a way to do the install that would allow you to put it up quickly if a light rain was forecast?

@Robuilt 3 года назад

Oh for sure! Those turnbuckles have hooks on the end. So you can pull them down within seconds.

@JoeOrsak 3 года назад

@@Robuilt Awesome. Thanks! I love being able to look up at the sky and all so I really don't want to kill the view. Just want to be able to chill outside if there's a light rain going and not have to worry about hauling cushions inside and all that stuff. Thanks for the great vid!

@JoeOrsak 3 года назад

Also... one more question... I have a fire pit. I want to stretch out to even with the fire pit (not over it obviously) and the sail would be about 9 feet up. I'm worried that it would damage the sail if I had a fire going. Would you say that would be a problem? (We could easily not have a fire in that situation as I likely will only use this when there's rain happening.)
