Great idea, but those poles are way too expensive. I can get a retractable sun setter canopy for just a little bit more. $800 for just two poles alone is too steep for me.
those poles better come with a stripper lol
True...but the installation for sunsetter awning is over 2,000. Did you install yours? Any info appreciated
Very instructive video. Those poles and mounts are super expensive, though
Every homeowner should keep several panels of siding for replacement, if there should ever be a hole or crack. In the event of a broken panel and there isn’t a replacement, you can reach out to a home improvement center and show a piece of the broken siding for a replacement piece (you may have to buy an entire box but, that wouldn’t be a bad thing because companies sometimes discontinue siding or colors). Installing a piece is scary but easy, just UA-cam it...you’ll do fine. Hope that helps anyone who might be intimidated.
This is a great project for a renter. I recommend using a wooden block to set the posts.
This is a comprehensive demonstrative learning video about Sunshade. It is very fun in learning and you are a fantastic demonstrator. It's so natural and systematic that this may have been years or decades to master. The best in sunshade on youtube.
Thank you! This is exactly the demo and product that I need. We had Trex decking installed 3 years ago. I had no idea how HOT the material would get. It gets really hot on a bright, 96° day. This is ideal!
Very clear and easy to understand tutorial- thank you. Greetings from Alicante, Spain...320+ days of sunshine per year 🙂
Glad you liked it. I wish we had more sunny days here in Indiana.
Excellent demonstration, questions in my mind from years are solved. Thanks and Regards
I bought some shade "sailes" 2 years ago and have yet to install. Now looking at this video kinda "inspires" me to go ahead. I had no clue what the Carbie poles were and looking at the Closed Caption (cc) makes me laugh how speech to text messes things up. Those poles are way too expensive ... So I will have to design my own mounting system on my deck. The deck gestsway too much sun, the "star gazing" wndows next to the deck bounces the sun right onto the deck; double whammie. Anyways good video, good motivation hopefully good outcome... on the Cape.
Ya, the price from the manufacture for the poles has increased over the years. That makes it hard to use them. I am sure you can come up with another type of pole support system. Maybe a 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 wood beam or round metal poles that are permanent instead.
Very informative. You do a great job of teaching and, more importantly, inspiring.
Thanks!!!
muy interesante, un saludo desde PERU la tierra del INCA.
Looked like a simple diy. After watching I feel like I could work for nasa.
the caribe-poles are $395 -$1,165 EACH. $3000 for 2 poles? mounting base $205 each, mountain base "cover" $54. this price costs more than some of the boats I've owned.
Ya, that is why I usually use 6" x 6" cedar posts instead when making a sun shades. See these videos: ua-cam.com/video/_HEWxsydOss/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/NhnS_4DiZ80/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/tb89CGwQC7w/v-deo.html
Question..can you attach hardware to brick
...ótimo vídeo, me trouxe a inspiração que desejava para trazer uma sombra para nosso jardim. Grata pela dedicação e generosidade em compartilhar seu conhecimento conosco. :) Abraço do Brasil.
Estamos felizes por poder ajudar.
Well made video, thanks!
Looks fabulous 🎉 wish i could pay you to make & install mine!😂
It has been two years and mine is still up and we love it. I leave it up almost all summer and never take it down, except when heavy wind storms are expected. Sorry, I only make projects for tutorial videos. You can make it yourself or find a local seamstress to make it for you.
Shade is everything - great video.
such a useful channel.
Glad you liked it! Thanks!!!
Stud finder?
QUESTION: Are the tension straps (at time marker 50:45) absolutely necessary for the Carbiepoles? My deck is about 20ft off the ground and I was thinking about attaching the poles the handrails, where they meet the posts. TIA
Yes, they are required to support the weight of the sail shade. You can make the same webbing straps, just make them long enough to reach the ground at about a 30 to 45 degree angle. If you use a piece of wood the same length as the Carbipole and measure to the ground, angled, and give me that measurement I can figure the materials you will need for you. email ericg@sailrite.com
@@SailriteDIY Thanks so much for the quick reply. I'll discuss with my other half. Great video by the way.
I like how the video was lightly sped up to make it a little faster of an install. lol.
Great video! Question: It seems odd that the "pretty side" is the top, - is there a reason for that?
There is no right or wrong side to this fabric, but it is recommended to use the “smooth” side facing the sun and the “rough” side facing down. This will allow the fabric to be more easily cleaned.
I want to thank you... Very helpful
Do you need to measure 2 inches out for hem before you cut the fabric? If you use Sunbrella will the hem bunch? I thought I would have to cut a separate piece for the hem.
If you do not add extra fabric for the hem, then the sail shade will be smaller in size. If you ok with that you can do that. The hem is created on an edge with a slight hollow, because of that the Sunbrella or HDPE fabric does not lay perfectly flat when the hem is created. However, the hollow is so gradual and long that this excess or bunching is not very noticeable.
I love the idea, but I couldn’t find the carbiepoles in the uk to buy…Do you know a similar replacement pole that I could get here please?
Sorry, we do not know where to get something like it in the UK. We do ship worldwide.
@@SailriteDIY Ok thankyou
Can the carbiepole base be screwed into concrete, perhaps with metal anchors and some hydraulic cement as glue?
Yes, the base can be screwed into concrete. I would pre-drill a hole in the cement and use Tapcon Cement Screws 3/16" Screw Size, 1 3/4" Length, Phillips Head Style. I do not know much about the hydraulic cement, sorry.
Cool idea but price is too high!
Very well done video.
Loved this tutorial, thank you! I'm not crazy about the color options for the shade cloth fabric. Can this be made with your Sunbrella fabrics? Clearly they would have to be sewn together in strips since they are not 150" wide. Is that a problem? Do you have recommendations on best fabric piecing methods for that?
Yes, it can be made from a Sunbrella Marine Grade fabric. However, it will collect water like a cup, so it would have to have a good pitch or be removed in rain. The HDPE fabric we used has a mesh opening for water to eventually escape. Let me know if you have more questions.
@@SailriteDIY Thank you - we would definitely be pitching the sun shade - do you think a 20% pitch would be enough? Also, I'm assuming that the best fabric piecing would be to have the connecting seams running down the pitch instead of across it? And should we seal the seams? Do you have a product recommendation for that? I really appreciate your advice!
@@lsdavis22 Yes, 20% would be ok. 25% would be better. Flat sails must be canted adequately, 1:4 gradient slope is recommended. (about 14 degrees or 25%). The seam for a sail shade is typically an overlapped seam and water running off the seam is never considered important for a sail shade, but that is because most sail shades are made from a mesh fabric. Since yours is Sunbrella, and not mesh, try to place the seam so the overlapped panel is on-top of the lower panel, like a roof shingle.
@@SailriteDIY Perfect - I just found your seam tutorial. So helpful! Thank you.

If the siding is installed correctly all of the nails are in a stud. Forgive me if someone else has already said that. Thanks.
True
Wouldn't that damage your house ?
I have had it up all summer this year and it has not damaged a thing. If your had a huge sail shade it might, but if each side is only 17 foot or less it should be fine with an eye bolt screwed into a wooden frame (usually 2 x 4).
What is the pole and recover called? So I can buy them. I have not been able to find them.
Here is a link to the pole: www.sailrite.com/Carbiepoles-Adjustable-Carbon-Fiber-Shade-Pole-Black Here is a link to the fabric for the cover: www.sailrite.com/Fabrics/Outdoor-Living-Fabric/Awning-and-Shade-Fabric/Outdoor-Living-Use/Shade-Sails/Width/150%22
Seems obvious that the snap hooks go to the house side and the D-rings go to the poles. 😂. But hey, creator tags are important, and the house side seems a good spot for it. 😁
True, but until the snap hooks are attached it can get confusing without the tag.
Holy… that is crazy expensive. Just each pole alone is $300. 200$ for the little tiny mounting bracket each. Good lord
structurally that horse shoe is made for the other direction... the force with just the pin on the outside is not going to hold the pole back
Remember the wind force off the sail is not horizontal shear but upward like a crowbar or a hammer extracting a nail. if you use the pin on the back as you have you take all that force and place it on the Edge of the top of the shoe and not spread it around the whole shoe half since the pin will do nothing to hold it down
the video is longer than the project
Not possible, but thanks for your comment.
Those poles are $650 each??? Comon Sailrite, that’s ridiculous.
Carbiepoles aren’t inexpensive. It’s an actual brand name. Try to find them cheaper
About right for carbon fiber material but I would be terrified drilling into the poles in case I made a mistake. I imagine steel or another metal would also work for something temporary like this but I am guessing carbon fiber was chosen due to it's ability to flex and relieve some of the pressure on the hooks attached to the house.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👋
We are glad you like it!
Vinyl is simply the most hideous siding out there.
Who has this equipment and skill? No one. Walking foot sewing machine, drill press, etc. c'mon guys. Most of these grateful comments have to be paid. And the audio was so low that the volume of the ads annoyingly blasted 6 times.
Yep, making nice things does take work and nice equipment. We show you how and we have most of the tools. Can you actually get paid for comments? We don't.
This product is a joke! $650.00 for a carbon pole? Yea right
*"Quick an easy"... Video is an hr long. Yeah, no. I need something quickER than that* 🤣🤣
You’re out of your mind for recommending poles that are $300 a piece..get outta here
Stupid expensive. forget it!
To many commercials
