I have same size shade. Put it up same as you did after watching your video. Works perfectly. Thank you
That's awesome to hear , Thanks for you comment
@@DomsRusticGarageMore we just ordered a shade sail to go over our grand children’s swingset where is the original video on how to install 😃
Her laughing was by far the best part of the video. So great
I love the sailing cleat and pulley nice idea 👍
Quick set up and take down in preparation for storms. Great idea!!!
Those cam cleats are a genius-level choice, thanks for the tip!!!
Nice set up with the pulleys. I use bungy cords on my sails and they have held up during high winds. I guess the bungy gives the sails some flexibility. And if I need the sails tighter I just use shorter bungy cords. The sails have lasted me around 3 years but would be longer if it weren't for the west Texas dry heat. But I like how your set up is strong and clean.
Thanks for your comment I just wanted to be able to take it down quick, mainly for storms.
We ordered the same size and are about to install and I figured I should watch some who have already done it to be sure we do it the best way. Thanks so much for your videos- we watched the first one and then this one to be sure you still felt the same after 3 years of doing this. Good info! Wish us luck!
Best of luck to ya and may you have many years ahead out of the sun lol .
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
We are on year 7 with our sail!! Had the double sail seams re-sewn this spring! Also added grommets to add lights.
Would there have been a way to mount above gutter for drainage?
Never to big when it’s enjoyed !! I am in the process of installing a 13’ x 6’ over the uncovered part of my 3/4 covered deck that faces East. It gets a little to hot to enjoy especially from 9-4. Can’t wait to enjoy sitting in the sun but under a sunshade. Like your idea using pulleys and the boat cleats. Thanks
It works pretty good
Good bye summer heat !! Looks very nice.
Thanks
Great Job - Simple and gave me a few ideas.
Thanks
Still BEST of the best.
It's hard to use your muscles when you get tickled, huh?!? 😅 Thanks for sharing this video! 🎉🙏❤️
Nice work man.
Awesome video! I’m currently building one, using 4 6x6 posts free standing away from the house, I bought the clam cleats in your description just wondering what size rope you used? 550 paracord? Thanks, by far the best setup no turnbuckles!! Quick easy!
Thanks. And I use 1/4 inch rope but you can use just about any rope or cord
Thanks for your video brother! Best way to do it for easy install AND removal. Question for you, how high from top of deck to top of post? Was trying to get an idea on how high to set mine up. Your looks pretty great height wise.
From the deck to the top of the post is 9 ft.
What about he rope that comes with the shade sail? Do you think that is sturdy enough to use?
Salam sukses selalu.. 👍
Dari sahabat baru ya..
Do you have to take down every time it rains?
I do because mine would hold water. But you can set these up with different angles so the water sheds off.
How did you attach the hooks without damaging the soffit?
Large eye bolts and they r screwed into the roof truss
How did you mount your clam cleat to the post?
Screws
Do you recommend steel posts instead of wood?
Not really wood works just fine. Besides the steel would be a lot heavier to put in a hole and stand up. Unless you have something to lift it up
@@DomsRusticGarageMore can you add the list of items you used in your video? The pulley and thread holder seems great idea.
@@robertk9936 They are in the description Thanks
@@DomsRusticGarageMore also would it work with a 4x4 10 ft and what angle tilt to use?
@@robertk9936 I personally would not use 4x4's they flex and bend when you tighten the sail up , as far as the tilt out I didn't do like a certain Degree I just leaned them out some so they weren't straight up and down I hope this helped
What kind of pulleys did you purchase?
I didn’t buy new. These were old ones o had laying around
How does water runoff during rain
I don’t leave it up in the rain
do you take it off when it's raining?
Yes I do.
@@DomsRusticGarageMore really that's a stinker man.
@@mikewest712 what is ?
@@DomsRusticGarageMore taking sun sails down for every rain. I just leave mine up till fall.
@@mikewest712 ya we get some nasty weather at times here in the Midwest and it would probably destroy it lol
I keep mine up, however i have to replace mine every 10 months, I rather do that then having to bring it down all the time.
I love the pully idea for taking up the slack and getting it tight! I saw this video about a year ago and the guy used "porch swing springs" in order to create the tension to get it taught. Great ingenuity with both approaches! th-cam.com/video/T5yTZjjg-mQ/w-d-xo.html&t
Why don’t you keep it up?
We can get some really bad weather here , and it will last longer not being in the sun all the time
