Shade sails

[Tonkaman]

$250/day. Out of Lehi. Ksl.

That’s a great deal

These are obviously (I think) NOT waterproof... but what is it like under them in the rain?

First, on your initial comment… I feel the same way, like all my neighbors are judging me… they’ve all got big $40k+ awnings. Oh well, they can eat 💩 if they don’t like my sails!

I’ve got lag eye bolts and the screw on anchors. Also I’ve had a few 1/4” Amazon quick links pull apart in big wind storms (or when it random snows like a couple weeks ago). I’ve been replacing with 1/4” d-shackles.

The thought of spending $40k on an awning makes me sick.

My rain experience is limited (once?) but the rain splashed through a little, and also ran down and dripped off the edge. About exactly as you’d expect from a semi sold material.

Remember how I said my backyard gets really hot? The barbecue is under the shade sails for much of the day, but sometime in the early afternoon it gets hit by the sun again. This is how hot the thermometer was when I pulled it out to use it today.

Sounds like free energy, you can cook low and slow without having to pay for pellets or propane. 😎

I'm in the market for a shade sail, where did you guys get yours?

 

[jeeper]

Amazon for me.

I've had this one up over our deck since 2015. I take it down in October and put it back up in April every year.

What’s your address and have your kids ever seen a walrus swim?

 

[comingdown]

They see me, although I’m probably hairier than a walrus but it’s close enough.
