A few basic tips on installations
Plan your installation: Check with your local building Department, some installations require a building permit. We are not responsible for obtaining permits or for engineering your installation.
Selecting the position: It is very important that you consider the most suitable location for your shade sail/sails taking into account the following:
• Size of shade sail/sails.
• Strength of existing structures intended to be anchor points.
• Possilbe locations for fixing posts.
• Location of BBQ's or sundirection.
• Nearby trees or branches.
Attachment points should be installed first: Install your posts with eye-nuts, and to the house, tree or any other structure you have chosen to support them. Add eyebolts, pad-eyes or straps.
