It
is advisable to hire a professional crew for installing shade sail. A properly installed
sail fabric cuts down the chances of accidents. Even if you are doing it yourself,
keep the following tips in mind:
Avoid accidents by
installing shade sail properly
Use good quality material
You
can reduce the chance of accidents by using good quality material- both for the
fabric as well as the fixtures. The sail should have strong threads to bear massive
force. The fixture should be resistant to corrosion or rusting.
Tension the ropes properly
Properly
tensioned ropes reduce the chance of tearing of fabric. It also prevents snapping
of ropes. So they should not be too tight or loose. Lose sail often lead to wearing
down of ropes and accessories.
Inspect attachment points periodically
It
is the responsibility of the home owner to check periodically whether all the fixtures
and attachment points are in good condition. Wearing out accessories should be immediately
replaced.
Remove shade sail during hostile
weather conditions
It
helps to reduce accidents and even leads to longer durability of shade sails if
they are removed in hostile weather. They should be necessarily removed in season
that witness storms. They should also be removed during heavy snow fall.
