Keep in mind ordering a shade sail is the easy part, now you have to mount it. Here are some useful ideas.
- Mounting to Existing Structure: If you have a strong, durable structure like a house, pergola, or large tree, you can use it as one or more corners for your shade sail.
- Mounting to Posts: Most commonly, shade sails are mounted to specifically designed, pressure-treated hardwood or metal posts concreted into the ground, ensuring they are deep enough for stability and tall enough for the sail to be mounted above head height.
- Mounting between Buildings: In some cases, shade sails can be mounted between two buildings. Ensure the connection points are strong enough to carry the load of the sail.
- Mounting to Fascia: You can mount the shade sail to the fascia of a house, but it has to be done correctly. You'll need to use a fascia support, which connects to the rafters inside the roof and then through into the fascia, providing a strong anchor point.
- Mounting to a Combination of Structures: You might mount one side of the sail to an existing structure and put up posts for the other sides.
- Pole-in-Ground Method: This involves mounting poles into concrete in the ground, its more permanent and perfect for areas where ground conditions are suitable for digging.
- Deck mount: If the sail is to be installed over a deck, specific deck designed poles can be used.
- Temporary Structures: For temporary or event use, shade sails can be attached to portable, weight-bearing structures like heavy-duty pop-up tents.
- Umbrella Mount: There are also umbrella-style mounts where the shade sail hangs down from a single centralized pole.
- Adjustable Mounting: Using pulleys and ropes for mounting can let you easily adjust or remove the shade sail as needed.
Remember, regardless of the method used, the structure to which a shade sail is mounted must be strong enough to handle the tension of the sail as well as wind loads. It's recommended to hire a professional if you're unsure about the installation process.
