Sail Shade fixing

There are several different options for attaching your sail shade to your chosen anchor point.

Option 1

Requires the following parts:

1 x Pad Eye
2 x Snap Hooks
1 x Turnbuckle

The Pad Eye is suitable for solid structures such as walls or wooden beams and the Turnbuckle serves as a tensioning device, allowing you to acheive a taught sailshade.

Option 2

Requires the following parts:

1 x Pad Eye
2 x Snap Hooks
1 x Turnbuckle
1 x Stainless Steal Cable Pack

In this setup the sail shade needs to be further away from the anchor point than the option 1 kit allows. The Stainless Steal Cable Pack is available in several sizes which can be cut to size. The Stainless Steal Cable Pack provides a very strong and stable way of lengthening your anchor point.

Sail Shade Pole and other options

If your anchor point is a pole or another secure point such as a Wooden Eyebolt Screw, then the same two basic above options apply. However, you will not need to purchase the Pad Eyes but will instead need an Eyebolt Kit (for Sail Shade Poles) or whatever accessory you require. See the images below.

Using a Strap Tensioner

To achieve additional tension for your sail shade you can use a Strap Tensioner. Please see the steps below.

Step 1 Attatch the strap tensioner to both snaphooks and the turnbuckle only to one snaphook.

Step 2 Use the strap tensioner to tighten the sail shade.

Step 3 Hook the turnbuckle onto the other snaphook and turn the middle section, tightening the turnbuckle to the required length

Step 4 Release the strap tensioner and unhook from the snaphooks.
