Kiwis love talking about their decks and us Americans like caulk. Thanks bro...great video!
Thanks so much for sharing the love Eric, glad you enjoyed our video! 🤗 ^Cam
Took me 5 min to understand the joke, good one lol!
@@adieface Wanna trade citizenship?! 😉 I'd like to immigrate to AUS.
I couldn't stop laughing when he was measuring 2.5 meters off his d!ck :D :D
As a foreigner, listening to various different dialects/accents of the English language is a real treat! Even tough I'm a linguist myself, I can't help bursting out with laughter :D
I don't recall hearing about caulk in South AMERICA
My wife and I are laughing every time he says “deck” 🤣
Not gonna lie, made me have a little giggle too 😉👍 ^Billie
@@mitre10nz 🤙🏼
I'm rollin' on the floor. Freakin' hilarious. You can tell he has no idea how that sounds to us Americans. I wonder if they say "dick" the same way as "deck"...
your wife likes d***** it's a good thing... tell her to make a video of her
Yeah that one took me a minute
As a utility locator, I really appreciate the fact that you make sure to tell people in each video to call in for a locate request to make sure they don't pop their own gas, electric, cable, telephone or fiber optic lines.
Hopefully the people coming out to mark them know what they're doing. The cable tv company was off by several feet in my yard. I think he and the electrical guy hit the same line underground because those marks were very close (red and orange spray paint). I was installing corrugated pipe for my downspout. I thought I was hitting tree roots when I almost severed the cable lines. It was like 10 feet from the orange line he sprayed.
My husband is a utility locator and he has horror stories of homeowners that did not call for a locate to dig something - fence,deck, etc and hit some sort of line. If you are at fault in can cost you lots of $$$$. Call- it’s free, at least in Ontario
We Aussies are Very Much Outdoor Lovers & This Video is Great!! Thank You Very Informative and Easy to Understand... Plus your Speech Rate is Spot On 👏👏👏👏👏👏🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
Thanks for your video mate!
The chain idea really helped me big time, now have one perfect shade sail on our patio 👍
Glad to hear it helped 👍 ^Matt
Brilliant, exactly what I was looking for!
Great vid, really helped me with my project. Bit confusing with the D shackles that were mentioned but didn't seem to be used.
It's always interesting to learn the different names used in other lands. What we in the States call "carriage bolts" apparently are "code screws" unless I'm hearing it wrong.
a carriage bolt uses a washer and nut. I think you mean a "lag screw" ?
New Subscriber. Glad I found your channel. Looking forward to learning a lot more from this channel.
Thanks for the detailed step by step instructions. This is great.
Thank you so much for your feedback Steve, really appreciate it! 🥰 ^Cam
I have enjoyed all of your videos, very informative and detailed.
Great to hear! ^Charlie
Fantastic design!!! I love this for every one
Great video- very helpful!! Thanks from Washington state
Used your video for our shade install - thank you.
Now to go to Bunnings and pick up everything I need. Thanks Mitre 10!
Thank you so much for this. I'm a lady from the United States, my husband put ours up 2 years ago with hooks & rope. It looked terrible & was sagging. He died last year so I'm going to try to fix it correctly this year by myself.
Out of curiosity, did you manage to fix it?
All done?
It's like watching a movie with no solid ending, what ultimately happened!? 🤷🏻♀️
She moved! No longer needed the shade.
Even after death, he gets nagged.
Hahaha! It doesn’t sound like he’s saying deck!
I love you kiwis and your brill accents! Love from Canada
...The size of your wHaT?! 😂
Great video, thank you!
Great job and advice cheers mate
Oh my. I just bought a shade sale and I don't think I can do all this work so I guess I'll be sending it back because where I live you can't get anybody to do anyway work.
Good video!
Hello from New Mexico USA
Great video..... clear instructions and nice uniform. You look good.
Gotta love the metric system!
One variation is opposing the height of the corners to produced a curved parabolic shape - it fares better in high winds
I have a video for reference
Looks so much better too.
Thunks for the tups. Hopping off in my SoobARoooo to buy some now! Eh!
thanks mate, good video
Thank you. Your video helped me today 👌🏽
Glad to hear it Gerardo ^Charlie
@@mitre10nz what was the D shackles used for. I don't think I saw them used.
Love the “Righty O”.
Fantastic video, “mate”!
Awesome mate!
Really helpful thanks
Thank you, most useful!
Beautiful!
There are less complicated ways to do this! But I do like listening to him talk. 😀
Awesome well can u Plz share them with me because I’m looking to easily install one this month ?
Good on ya mate ..I likes it .I’m gonna do just that
Stood under shade sail in full sun. Well positioned.
Haha yeah I couldn't help but crack up at the end when the shade sail was complete the shade from the sale was against the wall of the house.
The sun is setting, nothing to do with positioning....
@@Robertye112 no shit... Don't you think he could have filmed it with the sun at high noon instead of staring into the sun like a fuck head?
@@GRITBONE I guess they just filmed it when he was done. Whats the big deal?
That was sun and the whole purpose of a shade is to provide shade ....Obviously it was mounted too high ... and he should have angle it also .....a good craft man nut not a good engineer/designer
... please take in consideration the direction of sun when mounting
Thanks to the Kiwi guy for the tips on tightening my sail shade. Much appreciated. Robert
of my deck.. im scottish and i love it how you say my deck again and again
Thanks info. Please can send some information as how shape of net maters I of size ten by ten meters so as to get the shape and tension in tiring the Dali shade to the poles thanks regards Parvez
Righty-O ... beautiful !
Good Video Boss
thanks for the assum video
Chuckle at 7:35 "the size of My deck". 😂
I dont even want a shade sail I just like listening to this guys accent
You like it when he says "deick"?
thanks kiwi! love the accent!
Is the shade large enough to protect that side of house from the sun? What about strong wind, would it cause any problem to the shade?
Hi, awesome information here. I am building a deck at the moment with the help of your other video. I am going to be building a bench too. Are you able to tell me the dimensions of yours (height and width)? Thanks
I have a row house that I don't own so I can't sink a lot of money into it. My BY is fenced in with a 6' board on board fence on both sides. My idea is to put in two long shank eyes into the posts to raise the height (as much as I can or are available). Would I need a center support. How high are your poles? Thank you so much. Great video!
Row house? Is that a houseboat?
Nice big deck!
It might not seem it from the weather at the moment, but summer is so close and we'll all be enjoying our time out there soon enough. Do you think you'll give this project a go, Jay? ^Kane
@@mitre10nz I live in US, summer is here and this video showed me exactly what I want to put up for my back porch .
So glad to hear it. We'd be keen to hear how you got on with it, pop back and let us know ^Kane
Greetings sir, whats a good length for the chain, my hardware kit didn't come with chain? thank you kindly.
500mm
7:30 lol (Im useing chains for extra length as the size of my deick means my sail doesnt reach these fixing points, so head down to mitre 10 if u need help sizing it up. (my deick?)
Thank you👍🏽
Are the laminated posts 135x135mm? they look larger than 125mm and i've struggled to find that sizing, it seems to be either 112 or 135mm
awesome!
Very good explained! Just did not see how to use D shackles?
If you click through to the guide in the description box, you'll find more information about choosing and using different types of fixings to attach your shade sail. ^Rhi
Hahaaha Kiwi accent... oN TO MY dICK!!!
yes, must have a sore one by now
1:05 "...now the center of my ass..." LOL Love the Kiwis.
Any consideration needed for wind direction?
I wonder how draining stormwater will work?
Great video! What were the D shackles used for?
Hi Daniel, these can be used for the fixing accessories that you’ll need to secure your shade sail. ^Cam
Looks easy enough for me to do except. I'm weak lol
How to install a shade sail on a dick ... :) I' surprise this video hasn't gone viral
+Don Green I don't mean to be crude but damn! that is what I heard too and I haven't laughed out loud in a long time..not used to hearing this kind of accent. Caliboy here. Thanks for the video and the laugh man.
+Don Green I'm not attach anything to a dick or cutting anything that sounds like a post....lol! Good laugh... Easy As. :P
uut
uut
Don’t mean to be a deck but it doesn’t sound like he’s saying deck 😆
😂😂
Sounds like you got deck envy😜
Kiwi bru
@@hman2912 fair suck of the sav, mate.
😂 I was thinking the same.
I was amazed on how easy it was to set up the deck but when he started with the dick jokes then it got hilarious thank you I need it that
Bahaha 😂
He's gonna attach it to his wHaT!? 😂😂😂
@@stellaallbright4750 😂😂
I like it.
hi sir, sorry, I'm from Indonesia, I want to ask what the name of the designation for the screwdriver or wrench you use it? I was hard to explain to the seller when I want to buy
It was the deick.
great video. what size turnbuckles, eye bolts and S-hooks do you suggest to take the weight of this shade sail? around 8mm thickness for all of them? I want to do the same as you, and don't want to choose too-weak parts in case they come apart in the wind....
I know im randomly asking but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Zayden Raphael thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Zayden Raphael It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
@Achilles Julio glad I could help :)
Does it run the risk of pulling off the fascia in high wind?
I wouldn't think so as it's going thru the fascia and into the rafters
rebekah rumbel OH! Thanks for explaining what he did! What did he do with the 90 degree metal piece? I’m a lady going to install myself. I’m pretty handy just don’t understand all he says. Didn’t think using facia was good idea but you explained that! I’ll just have to figure out how to check on rafters! Hmmm...doesn’t work for him, does it! And won’t work unless sun is coming straight down! Lol soooo...won’t be good on my patio after 2PM! Sigh....
@@robinholbrook6576 I think if you had exposed rafters you could use them to brace the rafter and fascia boards--help reinforce that connection.
@@nickstone7834 Thanks Mark! After more research I’ve found the sail won’t work for me. I have to have something with an adjustable angle depending upon the time of day and where the sun is, I bought a large cantilevered umbrella and the then a smaller one that can be moved around. I’m in South Texas and in the summer the sun just bakes us but changes angles through the long summer season: April-September. Sometimes e sun is directly above and sometimes it comes at us from the West. It’s not easy living in the Sunbelt! Yay San Antonio: gets too hot in the summer and not cold enough in the winter!
@@robinholbrook6576 ah yeah these aren't moveable to adjust with sun
is this sail shade water proof?
what concrete mix did you use??
My post to my deck haha
does this hold in 50 mph wind? does it get windy there?
Where can i buy that?
So that eye hook is just screwed into the wood of the rafter?
Who else spent the entire video listening for him to say "d*ck" again in some new and exciting context?
Put your ear up to his door you might hear more stuff.
💖💖💖
I wanna see him fight a kangaroo with his tool belt on
Last time I checked, there were no kangaroos in NZ. A kiwi or two, yes.
nice shade on the side of your house
i wonder if the hook is really strong enough ? can the wood support the load from the hook? 2:47
Feel free to read our full instructions here to make sure your sun sail is sturdy: www.mitre10.co.nz/guides-and-advice/guide/how-to-put-up-a-shade-sail
Good how to, but he was still standing in the sun! I guess it was for specific time of day?
Cheers
Obviously it was mounted too high ... and he should have angle it also .....a good craft man nut not a good engineer/designer
Concur, as much as I appreciate his other videos, this entire project puzzles... Why would anybody want a shade in the heat-absorbing color of black.... one that doesn't cover much, one that will feed the rain back towards the entrance, and something less than readily easy to put up and take down for the winter. Must be a "Kiwi" thing. Have never seen one of these "shade sail" contraptions anywhere in the states.... (nor do I think it likely to catch on, certainly not in the south)
Anybody else notice that there’s not much shade when he’s done??
Yes🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
You do realize that the time of day has to do with the direction of of the sun and the time he planes to be outside.
Is there any concerns with this damaging your roof rafter if there is high winds?
Hey Jason, we'd recommend having a chat to the team at your local store for some personalised advice - they'll also know the conditions in your area a bit better 👍 ^Cam
Off my deck damn hahaha
1:53 "So ideally I wanna fix strait into our rafter from behind so ima have a look around an see if I fucking see that"
Hahahaha oh dear
@@dominicm6144 He actually says "see if I can see that". It's just a mixture of the way he says it and his accent (see ifican see that)
at the end of the deick
Cole Rochlitz fuigufpfyfigiujgv
Trevor Dunlop year uuiihhhhjiioo
I like your ideas and your deick
That deck is huuuge
Personally wasn’t impressed myself. Seen way bigger decks than that
Did you use the D shackles or find them unnecessary ?
Hey Mark, this would depend on your shade sail, we'd recommend having a chat to the team at your local store for some personalised advice 👍 ^Kyle
😂too funny @4:52
Sir you have good project of this DIY can you give me the materials you used pls sir thanks
3:10 how deep is the hole? Or how deep is the concrete footing at 3:58?
Hi there! Dig your hole 600mm deep and fill with concrete 🙌 ^Cam
5:31 - "2.9 meters off my"... what? Great video by the way
Cheers Syd 😂 ^Billie
Any issues with the 4x4's bending over time?
He said they were 125mm so that 5x5 not 4x4
Should it be angled to let rain run off?
it's not gonna protect you from the rain
@@Monsieur405 I think he means to run off the sail so it won't stay on the top, encouraging rot.
@@janestewart3231 The material isn't waterproof. Rain will pass through it.
Easy? lol.. thanks for the video !
I know its called "shade" sail but as well as the sun does it also protect against rain?
Most shade sails are not waterproof unless you are using a waterproof fabric, however, we do suggest varying heights of your posts/attachment points to encourage water run-off. ^Matt
@@mitre10nz 👍 thanks Matt
Seems like a fairly permanent deal for 5 square feet of shade
Metres
Closer to 135 square feet. Its ok, not everyone is good at math.
...in the neighbour's garden. The killer heat is mid-afternoon heat. A shade CURTAIN would be better, like in Spain. People roll DOWN as well as OVER. And have seating areas on the north side of the house, or the east side.
Deck?
I got a garden next to my door way will this effect the plants
Hi Jay, it might change the amount of sun they're getting so if they're very particular about the amount of direct light they receive then you might want to consider that ^Matt
@@mitre10nz thanks i will look into it
Why does this video say NOT to use quick setting concrete (quiqrete)?
Quick set concrete isn't as strong as regular concrete, and as such, isn't to be used in structural applications like footings for buildings or shade sail masts.
Oh you mean "deck!" Here in the US, I heard...🤣😂🤣😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪this should be on Comedy Central
