I bought a house with a Toja Grid pergola and shade sail in the back yard. The previous owner had installed the shade sail with the straps facing down but in your videos, the straps are on top. Does it matter which way they face?

The orientation of the straps on your Toja Grid shade sail-whether facing up or down-primarily affects aesthetics rather than functionality. Either orientation will effectively serve its purpose in providing shade and stability. Feel free to choose the orientation that best suits your preferences and complements your backyard design.

I've never understood why the shade has to be installed first when it needs to be taken down each season or a new one installed later.

The Shade Sails can be easily disconnected once the pergola is up before winter, here's a quick video: ua-cam.com/video/LOtsINq8iDs/v-deo.html
