Installation of shade sails requires
stable support. Sometimes sturdy support is not available at the site of
installation. In such cases post needs to be set up. But setting up of posts
should be done in the right manner, keeping number of things in mind. This will
not only help in efficient execution of work but also reduce the chance of any
accident.
Things to
keep in mind when installing shade sail posts
Is the
ground hard enough?
You need to ensure that the ground
where you want to put the post is not too soft. For softer clay the depth of
the hole should be more.
The hole
should be at least 3 feet deep by 2 feet wide
For a standard post of 15 feet length
the hole should be atleast3 feet deep and 2 feet wide- the more, the better. In
Aliso Viejo shade
sail installers also attach a metal piece to the base of the post so that post
is tightly held by the concrete mixture.
Filling
concrete mixture
When you are filling concrete mixture
in the hole, shovelit with a rod so that no air pocket remains. In Aliso Viejo
or Bakersfield shade sail installers are seasoned
at doing the task. You may hire them, if you find it too difficult to do it yourself.
