There are a few fundamental considerations to make in choosing to erect a Shade Sail, in no particular order:1. Function Shade Sails are designed and sold as semi permanent buildings at best, hence whereas solid structures require making plans permission, constructing regulations and hence has to be designed for the existing facets adding Snow loads, storms etc. domestic Shade Sails are not. Essentially, they are intended to continue to exist the mild wind and weather conditions of the summer time.

However, as we well know this doesn’t avert some from time to time rough weather. 2. Anchorages By 'anchorage' we mean the mounting point that your Shade Sail fixing is connected to. You need to have firm anchorage points for all corners of your Shade Sail, as these can probably be the weak point. The fixings used to attach the Shade Sail to the anchorage points should ideally allow for anxiety to be utilized. On triangular shapes, one corner can be fixed, but ideally all corners must have an adjustable link see the fixings page for details.
