How to install my COCO SHADE SAIL FOR PERGOLA ?
The same applies to the coco shade sail for pergola with spaced rails.
The installation of this shade sail is simple, but requires special attention regarding the fixation points, which you will set up yourself, so that the shade sail is well stretched and attached to the structure. Fine coconut rope is provided free of charge for the set up of your attachment points.
Important : For optimum shade sail support and longevity, it’s important that your structure has support bars spaced at a maximum of 80 cm apart. If this isn’t the case, you have 2 options: either install steel cables or choose our coco shade sail for pergola with spaced rails, which is reinforced every meter in a grid pattern.
1 First, unfold the shade sail entirely on the ground. Then, roll it and get it up on your pergola. Once on it, unroll it fully and stretch it tight enough so that you can set up fixation points regularly over your structure.
Note : If your shade sail measures 5-10 cm less than your structure, you can moisten it with plenty of water in order to gain centimeters.
2 Pass thin rope through the weaving of the shade sail in order to attach it to your structure (where possible, take 2 thin ropes from the weaving + the thicker rope around the perimeter) and all around your structure.
3 Set up fixation points every 25 to 30 cm all around your pergola and at most on all the support bars.
