INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BUILDING APPROVAL
Before installation of a Shade Sail, it is good to check with local
authorities (Council) for any relevant building regulations that may exist.
SUITABLE LOCATION
Betore you begin installation you must consider the most suitable location for
your shade sails). Take into account the following:
- Size of the shade sails
- Strength of existing structures intended to be anchor points
- Location of barbecues, sun direction, high wind areas, electrical/telephone cables, water pipes etc. There could be other factors, specific to each situation, which may require consideration.
POSSIBLE SAIL CONSTRUCTIONS
Resort Style (Triangular Sail)
For a Resort Style effect we recommend constructing the triangle sail with one
end at a low point and two ends at higher points.
Hyperbolic Style (Square Sail): For a Hyperbolic style we recommend constructing the sail with two diagonal ends at a high point and two ends at diagonal lower points.
DETERMINING THE CORRECT POINTS
Once you have identified the location for your shade sails) it is important to determine the most suitable fixing points for the sails’ corners. Some of these fixing points could already exist or fairlola, sundeck, large tree, and fence post This stage of installation is critical. You should ensure all fixing points are structurally sound, points, obtain a secondary source to a builder or site. A fixing height of at least 8 ft. is suggested. In the chosen area, lay out the sail in a relaxed state to determine suitable fixing points. Allow a minimum of an additional 10% of sail length between each fixing point and the end of the Sail’s fixing accessory for tensioning. Consider relevant building regulations, sun direction, and surrounding hazardous elements.
EXISTING SUPPORTS
Attaching to Fascia : If you intend to fix your shade fascia, the use of Fascia Support is strongly recommended. The Fascia Support is used to connect the overhangs of ratters or trusses to fas as improving strength. Fascin is supposed to improve strength. Fascia Supports are available from your local hardware outlet.
Attaching to trees:
We recommend that the fixing of shade sails to trees be for TEMPORARY USE
ONLY. The diameter of the tree where the sail will be fixed must be at least
10 inches.
SELECTING FIXING ACCESSORIES
There is an extensive range of Homemaker fixing accessories available to secure your shade sails). these accessories are readily available from Kmart.
Important: At least TWO of the sail’s fixing accessories must be tensioning devices.
Some possible combinations of fixing accessories
CONNECTING THE SHADE SAIL
Connect fixing accessories to mounting points as required. Ensure all accessories face towards the middle of the sail and are tightly secured.
Tensioning:
Connect all points, using a strap-tensioning tool it necessary to gain
increased leverage. Stop tensioning when the shade sail is rigid with little
or no creases.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Your Shade Sail may be cleaned at any time using a solution of mild detergent and water. Apply the solution with a sponge or a very soft brush. Let the solution stand on the fabric for 10 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with water from your garden hose. DO NOT put the fabric in your washing machine, or clothes dryer, or scrub it with a stiff brush, scouring pad, or an abrasive cleaner.
WARNING
Your Sail is designed to provide UV protection and comfort in domestic areas.
When fixing your sail, ensure all mounting points are structurally sound and
all fixings are secured tightly. Inspect regularly. Avoid exposure to
aggressive chemicals, e.g Chlorine, as it might result in a premature
breakdown of the fabric. Keep fire and open flames away from the sail. Do not
use your barbecue under the sail. Temporarily remove the Sail during strong
wind conditions.
Disclaimer
These instructions are to be used as a guide only. Installation requirements
can vary depending on factors such as soil types, anchor points, wind
conditions in your region, etc. We accept no responsibility for installations.
If you are unsure about your specific installation requirements, please
consult with a qualified builder or engineer.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CORRECT POSITIONS OF MOUNTING POINTS AND
WARRANTY
It is very important when installing your shade sail that your mounting points
are as close as possible to the drawings above. If you tension at the
incorrect angle, you will find that one side will not pull as tight as the
other. The user then tends to over tension to remove any sagging or waves.
This can result in either the stitching or webbing to fail. To establish the
best mounting point positions, lay the sail in position on the ground so as
you have a clearer picture of where to locate the mounting points. INCORRECT
MOUNTING OF YOUR SAIL WILL VOID ANY WARRANTY. The correct amount of fall is
also very important. For the Heavy Duty type we recommend at least 300mm and
the Waterproof type a minimum of 500mm. If the fall is too small water can
pool in the center and either stretch the sail or in worst cases collapse the
sail. THE SAIL MUST BE REMOVED DURING ANY ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
