Hi Shady Ladies
Last month I purchased a 3 x 3 x 4.24m shade sail and it arrived in the mail a few days later complete some fittings for the installation. A couple of weekends ago I was able to install it with the help of my wife and everything worked out well. I found the installation guide on your website very helpful and I am glad that we decided to vary the height of the anchor points (as suggested in the guide) to give the sail a more interesting look.
The sail is used to shade a garden bench in our back yard (see attached) and once we had the anchor points completed and set up the sail we found the angle not quite right for optimum shade on the bench itself. I guess it is difficult to work this out beforehand but we were approximately right. In fact I have worked out that by lowering the position of the sail for summer, then the angle will be much better. I intend to install 2 extra anchor points to achieve this.
My wife are very happy with how the Shady Lady shade sail looks and how it enhances our back. Installation was relatively simple for a home handyman and the quality of the sail is top class. Thanks so much for a fine Aussie product.
Regards Wayne
