I can’t find it, would you please post the link?

@@Paula-po9kx kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f85hrLiZttPZZ4k.html Thank you for watching!

I viewed your project and this isn’t what I am looking to do but thank you. Iam looking to use flower pots

pretty nice, it's fun to watch the video

Brilliant!

Can you tell me what kind of door spring? I looked at Home Depot today and all I saw were screen door springs and they seemed way too small and weak. Thanks.

Something wrong with the audio?

You are so welcome!

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

Good Input. I was looking for some additional height so I went through the gutters. I also have an overhang over the garage door that would have been almost impossible to connect to the house. Thanks for sharing. Varied height is very important as I have learned. When ordering the waterproof sails they will definitely collect water in the middle if you don't have a way for it to exit.

Find a stud. The shade sails have a lot of tension and need something robust to hold against. Good luck.

the posts were 4x6x12 pressure treated

Glad you enjoyed it

I drilled through the fascia board and into the rafters. Fascia wouldn't be strong enough to hold the shade sails. Used 8 in eye bolts that went through the gutters and into the rafters. Thanks for watching.

@@littleaboutalot7478 How did you locate the rafters?

@@hmanone1063 I was able to find mine by looking through the eve vents.

@@hmanone1063 , for those looking to "find" the rafter ends. If your home had a gutter system that has long nails to attach the gutters to your home, you already know where the rafter ends are located. You just remove those nails and install the eye screws to hold the sail and the gutter. SAFETY NOTE: Never stand on the top step of any ladder. Overhead work, efforts to drill, or many other physical efforts can cause a fall. The little girl helper doesn't want her Daddy breaking an arm or something even worse. BE SAFE.

I posted another video with a review last week. Check that out! I have has some issues but a bad storm brought it down. I used the 8" eye bolts. They are strong if you find the rafter behind them. Had it through some pretty high winds but the sails that I got I could never get them super tight. Sagged in the middle.

Little About A lot I just watched it. I “think” I got into the rafters. But if so not by much. I’m debating tossing up 2 more posts closer to the house faster seeing your vid. Although I am getting a 16x12 and it’s permeable. Def have me nervous now, but plan to take it up and down with the forecast.

@@veddar79 you shouldn't have the water issue that I had and I think you can stretch those permeable ones better than what I had. It was a strong storm and did other damage to other things I've never had a problem with.

40x22ft. Is the patio dimensions. These are 16x16ft shade sails. Not all the patio is covered by the sails but pretty close.

3ft.

Made a world of difference. Yes, absolutely it helped. It also depends on the size of your sails but with these it was bending the 4x6 and then it would snap it back causing even more stress. Definitely recommend extra support wherever you can put it.

Thanks so much!

Thank you! Cheers!

Overall, It's great. Some maintenance is required. When it rains the shade sails aren't 100% tight all the way across so if they aren't pulled real tight you get water pooling in the middle. I keep mine with 3 corners high and 1 corner low so the water has a place to go. I have added supports if you check out the part2 patio extension project you can see it there. The larger the shades the more issues you will have with wind and rain unless maybe you get the permeable ones. Thanks for watching.

Do you think if you had a slight decline on the shade from the house to the poles it would let the rain roll off?

I am coming out with a new shade sail project....so subscribe.. and stay tuned. It's gonna be awesome!

we got ours through amazon. You can order just about any size.

I made another video of the new shade sails with all the appropriate supports. Check it out. Thanks for the advice and thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Neither, but thank you for the kind words. Just like doing things with my hands and have made plenty of mistakes.

There is a vent screen running along my eve's. I was able to see the rafter and make a "very good" educated guess from there.

I think they were 8 or 9 in eye bolts.

Little About A lot are those stainless steel or other material ? And where did you buy them?

@@JOSUEGONZALEZ-tq1yq they are not stainless. Zinc coated I believe. I got them at home depot. They were the longest ones they had.

Little About A lot thank you I was able to install mines following the instructions of your video.

@@JOSUEGONZALEZ-tq1yq awesome. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it

I installed them. Dug 3ft down. Centered the Post. Threw some concrete in it and formed out the top portion to look better.

Little About A lot oh cool thank you

Amazon. Many brands and sizes.

Thank you! 😊

Yes. I learned the hard way and I posted a video about it. I did try 2 up and 2 down but that still collected water. The shade sails would just not get tight enough for me.

patio is 22ft wide by 38 ft long. post were centered on the rafters from the house. shade sails were 16x16. post were 9 ft tall from the ground up.

We tried but there was still to much sag in the shade sails for us. I think the shade sails we got were of mild quality and I could never get them tight.

Thanks! 👍

In Description! Thanks for watching!

$80 a piece. 16x16ft. Waterproof.

Got our 12 x 12, waterproof, great quality at discount store. ALDI. LIDL had similar ones. ABOUT $ 16.00. We live 2 blocks from ocean and 2 blocks from ICW, SSOOO...its plenty windy. Put them up early last summer, attached to our DECK. STILL FLYING TODAY!!! We did take them down for winter, and of course hurricanes and tropical storms. Also if we are expecting high winds, 40 +, we drop one side down and secure to deck rail, wrapped in a bungee cord. We needed shade on front of house, we were baking inside. It certainly made our den more comfortable, and really cut AC bill because the thermostat-register is located in the den. The other rooms were too cool, while the den was too hot...and the AC ran all day!! This was a GREAT FIX!! When this shade gets old, we will DEFINITELY buy a new one. Actually, after we installed the shade and realized how strong and effective it was, i went back and bought another one!! So I'm set for, hopefully, a couple years. I found my posts on Offer up, they were only $5 each. Theses shades came with the ropes and most of the hardware we needed to attach the shade. I did have to buy hardware to attach posts to the deck. I'm a ? reasonably healthy, 59 yo woman, hubby travels most of the time, so i DID THIS MYSELF. I'm not much with DIY's requiring great skill with power tools, but if I can do it...you can!!

waterproof or water resistant?

@@sirrednaed1 waterproof

they are 4x6x12

4x6 held up good after the extra supports. They will begin to bend with the tension of the shade sail. With the extra support they are golden.

Little About A lot Is that the board that’s going from post to post?

@@bcookdc2 yes, and I added some that go from the house to the posts. My video Patio extension part 2 goes over it a little bit as well as my video on shade sail review

Thabks @Little About A lot. I’ve also subscribed.

Yes. The cross supports are 2x8x20.

The wind is a problem above 20 mph. Depending on how you attach them they have a lot of tension on them. These are 16x16ft sails and they probably could sail a boat. lol. We take them down in high winds and big rain storms. It is less of a problem if you have them at different anchor heights which is recommended by the manufacture.

In the video I talked about the lower eye bolt that we use on a regular basis now. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. I have made improvements in another video and I have had much better luck with the 2nd iteration. Thanks for watching.

Through the window of my truck and out the back. Not the best way but it worked. You can always rent a trailer as well.

I bought mine on amazon. Depending on size, type, color all have different manufactures.

I ordered the shade sails through Amazon. They have a large selection of sizes and colors.

thanks a lot 👍👍👍

They are water proof and made of 100% polyester fabric.

Where did you get them

Haha. For sure. Next time!

Absolutely true if it is not supported correctly. Thanks for watching!

Cant remember the type of material. I had 3 hooks up and 1 hook 3.5 ft lower on a corner. The problem was I could never get the shade sail tight enough no matter how I pulled it. Almost as if the sides were sown too short, making it impossible to get the slack out. I eventually changes these out with permeable shade sails which I made another video about and they are great. Thanks for watching.

Thank you!

@@littleaboutalot7478 I am also tent tailor at UAE dubai

Thank you sir!. I am coming out with a shade sail review video here soon to go over some things that I have learned over the past couple months. Check back soon and watch that video too!

@@littleaboutalot7478 you got it.

KZfaq Audio=Safety Net, Church of 8 Wheels, Love on Wings Riddim, Toe Jam, not in order.

Amazon. Mothers are many different brands to choose from. This one was on sale!

I did think about using galvanized but they are a bit more expensive and I like the look of stained wood.

@@littleaboutalot7478 I completely agree. I like the look of the stained wood much better also. Thanks for the input!

It would have but we didn't know what we wanted to do when we poured the patio.

Done!

I have redone the shade sails and made another video. I used the permeable shade sails and they work great. I haven’t had to mess with them since I put them up. Check out my newer video with the new sails. Thanks for watching.

It was! This was just the first attempt.

Or just don't sand PT wood.

Why is that?
