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?

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.

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.

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.
