Installing Model A shade cloth on a pergola: the guide
Requirements for installing the sail on the pergola
Support bar spacing: The structure should have bars spaced a maximum of 80 cm apart.
Options for wider spacing: If the bars are too far apart, install chained steel cables or consider model B, which has a grid reinforcement.
Tip for adjusting the size: If the fabric is slightly smaller than the structure (5-10 cm), moisten it to gently stretch it.
Installation steps for the shade sail to be fitted
Prepare the cover: Unfold it on the ground to check its orientation. Then roll it up and place it on the pergola. Once in position, unroll it completely and adjust it.
Create the attachment points: Pass a rope through the weave of the fabric (including two wires and the perimeter rope), then wrap it around the support bars of the pergola.
Attach securely: Make attachment points every 25 to 30 cm all around the structure, taking care to maintain uniform tension.
By following these steps, which are specific to the A model, you’ll ensure efficient installation and make the most of your shaded area while maximising the durability of the fabric.
