NOTE: It is important when deciding
on the positioning of the sail lower
point, that the slope of the fabric
will allow good water run-off. Water
which is allowed to pond on the sail
will lead to premature sail failure and
may lead to structural failure at fixing
points. It is recommended to have
the shade sail on a 20 degree
+ slope.
After deciding on the location of your Coolaroo all weather sail it is
important to identify structurally suitable fixing points for the sail corners.
This stage is critical. Your sail will be under significant tension and as
such fixing points need to be strong. It is recommended that the fixing
height be at least 2.4m from the ground on 2 of the sides.
If using existing fixtures, such as side facia or the roof of your house,
be sure to check the structure carefully to ensure it can bear the load. If
unsure about the most suitable fixing points, obtain independent advice
from a qualified builder or engineer.
After identifying the most suitable fixing points, lay the sail out on the
ground in the proposed position to confirm the positioning is workable.
It is recommended to allow 1% of the sail length between each fixing
point and the corner D Rings for tensioning. Consider using stainless
steel chain to reach certain fixing points.
There is an extensive range of Coolaroo fixing accessories available to
help you secure your sail.
