installed with a 5&#xB0; lean out away from the centre
of the sail (direction of pull). This must be taken
into account when positioning the poles.
If using steel poles it is advisable to have a
galvanised coating to prevent rust. If using
timber poles it is advisable to use treated timber.
Poles can be painted to match your shade sail
or surrounding environment.
Once you have chosen the correct size poles
and measured the position of them, dig holes to
the required size.&#xA0;Lay a 100mm of medium size
gravel at the base of the hole, compact to form
a solid pad OR pre-set 100mm of concrete.
Poles should be embedded in concrete footings
with a minimum of 20Mpa concrete.&#xA0;The concrete
must be mixed to the manufactures&#x2019; instructions
or supplied by a certified concrete supplier.
Position each pole at a 5&#xB0; angle leaning out
away from the centre of the shade sail and add
concrete, ensure the pole remains in the correct
position.&#xA0;The top of the concrete surface should
be sloping away from the pole to assist with
water drainage. You may require bracing while
concrete sets. Poles should be left for at least 72
hours to allow the concrete to set.Please download our <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0778/8730/7969/files/Guide_for_Poles_and_Footings.pdf?v=1727154795" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Guide for Poles &amp; Footing&apos;s</a> document for more detailed instruction.
