Thanks Adam! We love the sunshade. Be advised something that they don’t tell you when purchasing… It does stretch. Best to have some hardware that can pull that slack up.
Shade sail needs to be higher all round. You should have installed mini posts into the top of the roof then made opposing poles taller Sail must be way tighter !
Did you do anything special to ensure the fasteners on the house were placed so that they hit a rafter or a stud or something on the other side? Did you do anything to ensure you weren’t hitting anything meaningful on the other side (electric, lines, etc)
I used 2” self auguring screws. I needed them to get through the many layers into wood on the house. The posts just used 1” self auguring screws for the hardware.
Great hardware review. Your advice seems solid. Thanks!

Nice job! I'm thinking of doing the same to my home, and this was very useful. Thanks.
Thank you Marc. We still enjoy it!
We did not do concrete due to an addition coming to house in future. They are deep and have wedges to put in in case they loosen up.

Came out great! How’d you secure the posts on the ground… concrete?
What size screws are those?
