Attaching a shade sail to a pergola Posted 1131 days ago I want to attach a 5mx8m (ish) shade sail to my existing pergola and use reinforced steel posts at the other end. Can anyone help me with regards to whether I can or cannot do this? Not in a particularly windy area (Scone, NSW) Any thoughts? |

RE: Attaching a shade sail to a pergola Posted 1057 days ago T pull shade sail tight you put a decent amount of loading on it. If pergola sturdy, attach to post or similar structural area if any as you don't want to break your pergola. Seek advice from a chippy or builder. |

shadesailsmelbourne Posted 142 days ago If they are indeed shade sails they will have grommets on the corners. If I remember correctly, shade sails are mostly triangular, correct? Well, all you need to do is put a bent nail on a post, hook a grommet to it, the tie a rope through the other two grommets and open it up to the desired angle. |

RE: Attaching a shade sail to a pergola Posted 102 days ago As always be careful when working at height. Make sure that the weather conditions are safe before you work. Also make sure you use PPE, like gloves and sunscreen. |
