Ringwood North VIC 3134, Australia

5 x 7mt shade sail install. Posts already set, hardware available, if more chains needed I can buy from close Bunnings. Posts are not set square, so positioning will be your skill where some chains longer than others. Experiance in such install a must as levels important. You need to drill holes at the required height. Maybe cut the tops of the steel posts if it looks better.(disregard RED addition on diagram). In the photo you will see a 5th post. This was put in to lift the centre of the sail when it stretches over time. It has a stainless steel dish on top to ensure it does not rub away the sail. The current sail split at the stiched join and not for any rubbing reason. Being a large sail I was concerned about flapping hence the centre support. Thos of you engineered minded may consider an alternative design.
