Finding the right sun shade sail:
Measure the distances between your three or four
mounting points and subtract 1 - 1.5 feet on each side

Necessary Tools: Screw driver, corresponding
ColourTree hardware kit

Optional: ColourTree cable ropes, ladder
1. Plot your mounting points (pergola/sundeck, fence
post, house, tree, pole), keeping in mind how the shade
will move throughout the day.
2. Attach pad eyes or eye bolts to all your mounting
points. Use snap hooks and turnbuckles as your fixing
accessories; triangle shade sails should use at least
one turnbuckle and square/rectangle shade sails
should use at least two turnbuckles on the same edge.
Attach your sun shade sail to each mounting point.

3. Adjust your shade sail to ensure adequate tension
throughout the sail. A taut shade sail not only
looks better by removing wrinkles but also
performs better by shading your area uniformly
and preventing any drooping.
a) If you are struggling with achieving a
comfortable amount of tension, try using
different fixing accessories.
i. For example, if your shade sail is drooping
from lack of tension, try more snap hooks
instead of turnbuckles to pull the shade
sail tighter into the corners. Conversely if
your shade sail is too tight and you are
worried about compromising the fabric,
you can use more turnbuckles instead of
snap hooks to loosen it.
Warning:
Ensure that all fixing points are structurally sound
and fixings are tightly secured before attaching shade
sail. In extraordinarily harsh weather conditions,
consider temporarily taking down your shade sail.
Check with local authorities for any relevant building
regulations in your area, and check with the local
utility companies for any underground services prior
to digging holes for the support posts.
