    We have all Regal aluminum railing with composite decking. 10 x 10 north facing with west exposure, so lots of summer sunshine beating down. Trying to figure out how to do a similar setup, your video gives inspiration!!

    This is really great. I'm pretty sure my HOA won't let me do it though (because of how it looks). Well, I won't know unless I try it though. As long as I don't have a neighbor report me. 😂

    • @MakeItorBreakItNow
      @MakeItorBreakItNow  3 роки тому

      PurpleGirl, we have a really strict home owners association too, but since these are considered temporary, i.e. not permanently installed, i.e. we take them down in November and put them up in March, April, they're allowed. Maybe your neighbors will put some up too, once they see yours? Good luck.

      I got the panels from Costco, several years back but they seem to have them every year. Looking at the package its called Coolaroo Ready-To-Hang Shade Sail. Rectangle 7 ft by 13 ft, but these sails come in all shapes and sizes.
      Here's the same shade on Amazon:
      www.amazon.com/Shade-Beyond-Rectangle-Sunshade-Backyard/dp/B07H7XF7XY at CostCo they were around $15.

    How has it held up to higher winds?

    • @MakeItorBreakItNow
      @MakeItorBreakItNow  2 роки тому +3

      Vonnie, not a problem at all in winds over 60 mph, I think its because of the angles of the shade, sail, does seem to hold a lot of wind.

    You keep mentioning the fixture for a temp plate to make the holes in the pipe but you never say what it is or how you made it

    • @MakeItorBreakItNow
      @MakeItorBreakItNow  3 роки тому +2

      Boe M., I start using the fixture at 5:01 in the video. It's a 1-inch PVC pipe end cap and a piece of 1-inch PVC Schedule 20 (thinner walled) pipe. You could also role up a piece of thicker card stock if you don't have a piece of pipe. I just went out to the deck and verified the center of the holes are 1.5 inches down from the top of the pipes. Thanks for your question.

    Use carabiners instead of knots!

    • @MakeItorBreakItNow
      @MakeItorBreakItNow  3 роки тому +2

      petibatyo, funny you mention the carabiners. I did add them to the house side, but left the ropes this season on the pole side because the sails tend to stretch over time. But to your point biners are much easier.
