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 😎
Robuilt on the upside, a triangle was perfect for us because we needed it to stay open over our grill.
Hello! Any update after 3 years?
Started this project this morning & it was a disaster. Yeah, so now it's balled up in my yard. But while pouting & drinking a beer, I found your video & as soon as I finish my next beer, I'm getting this done. Thanks!
Aw, I find it’s best to walk away for a couple of hours sometimes after a fail. A beer definitely helps too. How’d did round 2 go?!
@@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? 🙄
And I SUCK at measuring & math! 🤷🏼♀️
How did it turn out??
😂
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.
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.
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.
Just in case of bad storm. 😉
"I don't even know why you're following this guy." You're the type of person that deserves follow, sub, thanks 😎
Great! You covered some items others didn't. Fun too!
Was curious how to do this with the metal cabling, but you make it super easy. Installing two shades this week as well as party lights. Great demo.
Casualmente en estos días había estado pensando en colacar una en el patio de mi casa y definitivamente se me ocurrió una excelente idea de como hacerlo gracias a este video, muchas gracias. Saludos Roger Erosa.
I love the A.D.D. commentary! From a man (look a squirrel!) who suffers from it just a tad...Im beginning my sail and your video has really helped.
Thanks!
You had me at Man of Integrity! Ha! You explained it so well I feel confident.
Going to add a sail shade to our new deck....along with our cable railing. Thanks for the helpful videos. We even have the same solar lights as you!
Wow! Super easy and straightforward. Loved the humor too. Thanks so much!
Becky-Joe P thanks for watching and commenting. It really means the world to me :)
Hey Rob thanks for the sade shale tutorial. I'm going with the cable as well.
Thanks brother, this totally helped us set up our shade!
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,
Can you give a materials list he used for the spring load attachments and turnbuckles?
Oh, Is love to know where to find the spring loaded attachments as well! Maybe I’ll go see what they have at Home Depot if there’s no reply here!
@@rachaelmccauley1336 I'm doing one now and just using porch swing springs from home depot
It looks good at different heights! You did a nice job. I'm trying to finalize my dimensions right now before I use cement for the posts!
Nice shade! I made a similar rectangular one. You may also want to look at thimbles for your wire rope - it makes a nice kink free eyelet when you make a loop on the ends. Cheers!
Thank you for an awesome walkthrough, you are natural brother!!
Good pointers and really helpful! I’ll be putting up three 16x20s to give our vehicles some much needed shade in this Hawaii heat. Wish me luck! 😂😂😂
we are shade sails suppliers and can supply you high quality product 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing!!!
Looks great
Great tutorial! Dude, you are a riot! Absolutely love your sense of humor. 🤣
I'm impressed!
I used hooks and a pulley system which made it really easy to take down.
Thankyou for this hilariously funny and informative video. I think I can out mine up now.
Let me know how it goes! I hope I helped!
Thanks for the video, and the humor.
A good home is from the good work. It could be identified from the great look and the impressions of it. Since it features a personality of the master, it will be unique in term of the form. But these creative home designs may give you more than an idea. It'd inspire you and give you more motivation to make a better design. It leads you to have the truly amazing Patio Sun Shade Sail Canopy for sure.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! Thank you so much and I'm going to Lowes now.
Good luck! Let me know how it all nets out.
Useful information. Many thanks
My first time watching you! Hilarious! My kinf of DIY guy, smart and funny!
Turnbuckles + Cable + Crimping clamps⁉️ No way‼️
Use 550 Cord and “Nite Ize Plastic CamJam Cord Tightener (4-Pack)” and/or “Nite Ize Figure 9 Carabiner 150 lb. Black Rope Tightener”. They come in handy for many applications.
This allows for a strong and secure setup with easy adjustability... within seconds.
For connecting them to a wall or post, checkout the “Husky 1-1 2 in. Steel Wire Ring Anchor Point in Black (4-Pack)”. 👍🏻
Much cheaper and easier. Plus it’s easier to take down before high winds, heavy rain or storms.
wow...dude you just saved a bunch of time and headache. Even though this is a simple project this is great solution.
Awesome tutorial love it, love the humor as well, thank you I learned from it!
This just popped up on my feed... this was my very 1st Robuilt video...3+ years ago...
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.
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.
@@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!
Great video thanks man
Thank you guy! you are funny. I think I can make out profit of building customized. Found you to build my own for a patio.
I’ve just got a 3m by 2m sail for my garden 🇬🇧 and might get triangle one too . I had about 4 £25 gazebos break in the wind last year , this year we put one up on Friday and by Saturday it was broken by winds . So this is an attempt at a better solution 🧐
I like how real you are. New sub!
good video
Great channel rob!!
Thanks for the video. Hi from Spain.
✋Hope things are well out there! I've always wanted to go!
Great presentation skills
Thank you for the awesome video !
Nice tutorial! Great presentation
7:16 lmao 😂 “I’m a man of integrity.. kill me”
I like everything about this but I would def use a bigger turnbuckle? I’m out in Arizona and it’s strips those threads like nobodies business. Longer and thicker eye hooks too
Helping my mom install her sade shails...errrr...shade sails next month. GREAT video! REALLY appreciate the supply links. Also...your friggin' hilarious! Thank you!!
I love you!!! Thanks for being you! I love your silliness!!!❤
Very informative, but I subbed as soon as I heard Awolnation. 😊
Subbed....... keep it up
Imma tryyyyyy thiss
Much better much better
Good stuff. Thanks!
That last comment about tickling a ferret!!!😂😂😂
Informative and love your sense of humor.
I've subscribed, liked and shared, looking forward to many more videos.
Thank you kindly! Happy to have you on board, NiAfie :)
Nice finished product 8:41. Debating this vs cantilever umbrellas on a large deck.
I love cantilever umbrellas! The only thing I don't like is the price tag. My reco is to do the shade sails and pocket the saved cash for another project!
Good job man , now I know to hang that shade 😅😅😅👍👍👍
>I don't even know why you're following this guy.
Man, you're funny! I watched mostly for that because I was trying to figure out how to stop my turnbuckles from loosening.
👍 Nice job on the video! This definitely helped me with my install. Thanks…
You are very funny and I cracked up throughout this tutorial!
Cool man - thanks
Lol you made me laugh great video definitely looks lovely can't wait to get mine. Love your personality 😁
You're very Fun! Thanks for the Vid :)
Good Work Man...thanks for Sharing ~!
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.
Your commentary warms my heart. Thank you. Also, who’s Steve?
Haha thanks! He's that guy that watches TH-cam tutorials but still ends up doing it his way.
@@Robuilt oh great. I'm a total Steve.
@@TinaVision LOL!!! Sounds like me too!!! x
You are hilarious! I really enjoyed your video! I'm gonna attempt to hang tomorrow. Lol
Let me know how it goes!
Cool solar bro
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.
Great video! Made me laugh also 👏🏻👏🏻
Add your triangle back in an overlap for aesthetic touch 🔻👍🏼
I want to make a square room for the back of my 4runner when camping. I want it to be strong but be able to see through. I plan to use canopy fittings and metal poles.
Thanks for the video. I have four planters with poles for lights and I want to attach galvanized pipes to a higher level and install a shade sail. 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!
Thanks
Great video! 👍 Do you install screen doors?
Great one man.. keep it up
thanks
Shade sail...thanks ...I never knew what they were called!
Hi there! Love patio furniture / sofa. Do you know where you got this? Thanks for the video!
Does home depot sale cable as well with crimp
I've been reading that 4x4 posts aren't strong enough for the tension that gets put on them by the wind in the shade sails. How have they held up 4 years later?
Thanks darling 😎
Dude. Very informative tutorial, and effin' hilarious. Subscribed based on laughs, alone.
Man, I really appreciate that Lenny. Hope to see you on more of my comment threads!
Sick view dude
Love your delivery and this was a pretty solid demo. I'm going to follow you from my other channel. I love the idea of shade sail, but I want to do this from UNDER a pergola that currently only lives in my imagination. Too many ideas and not yet enough time!
Are we all going to ignore the UFO in this video at mark 7:46? Lol thanks for the tips though! Great video
We have a tent shade but how did you set up the pole for the shade? We recycled a pole that was used as vertical for separating within the backyard. We poured concrete to secure the pole but it doesn’t hold well. I wonder if you have any suggestions to make a pole for the shade? TIA!
Always draw water away from the house so lowering the shade sail at the corners away from the house is best.
Good
How do I instal the poles if I don't already have some up??
i dont know what im doing wrong. I basicly did the same thing and my shade saga in the middle. isnit too big? i have a 16x16 tarp
Good job ! Broken down great -
Few questions -
Do you take this down in a storm or high winds ?
The screws that go into the house is that strong enough in the event of high winds it’s windy where I live -
Metal or wood poles ? Does it matter ? How deep down do you dig ?
Great video, but I notice that you have it sloped so that rain runs off onto your barbecue. I presume you put that away or cover it when weather is bad.
Looks really nice. I will watch for tickling a ferret
Eyeglasses, sunglasses are safety glasses. The only time I put on safety glasses is when I'm using the chainsaw on certain types of trees and when using the circular saw especially when cutting particle board.
Where is the outdoor furniture at the start of the video from?
Hi there ... Just curious if you are having any issues with the 4x4s buckling/bending with time?
I will have to drill a couple pieces into my outside house wall like you. then into the cinderblock wall because I am not able to insert any standing poles into the back yard. thats what I was most worried about.
Could you please tell me how you installed the posts? Did you have a professional do it? If so what did you search in order to find them? I’m having difficulty trying to find a company to install them. Thank you
Where did you get the sail shade poles?
