Equilateral Shade Sail

Name: Equilateral Shade Sail
Brand: Shop-Maxshade
Availability: InStock

A triangle shaped shade sail will offer less shade than a square, but it’s more spatially flexible and can fit into smaller areas better. Plus, it has one less fixing point, so you can be a little more imaginative with it. If you choose to go with a triangular shade sail but you’re still keen on significant protection, consider layering two triangles across one another for a statement look that’s functional too.

Hardware kits can be selected below or browse our hardware store for other hardware.

Poles and hardware are not included. Hardware can be purchased separately.

**IMPORTANT** When calculating the size of the shade sail that you would need for a certain area, be sure to allow for about 12 to 18 inches of space between the shade sails corner d-rings and the mounting points for the necessary mounting hardware including turnbuckles. It is better for the shade sail to be too small than too large. If it is too large, you will not be able to tighten when necessary, but if it is too small, you can still attach the sail to the mounting points with the help of a few lengths of chain or a piece of aircraft cable.Due to fabrication tolerances and fabric stretch, finished shade sail dimensions may vary +/- 2 inches. Due to fabric width and depending on the size of the shade sail the finished sail may have seams.All shade sails are made to order and therefore all sales are final. No returns or refunds will be accepted.

Installation

We Offer Installation!
We are excited to offer installation services across most of the contiguous state of Texas. In order to obtain a quote, please email, call, or simply add the product of your choice to a quote, fill out a little information and be sure to check the box to request installation pricing. For installation, be sure the area is free of debris and any underlying issues that would make digging difficult. Each customer takes responsibility for their own site prep, permitting, and mulch/surfacing unless otherwise arranged. We do not take responsibility for permitting — you should consult your local authorities or construction professionals as needed.

Can I Install This?

While the short answer is yes, please be careful. We have had many customers install shades themselves leading to a resulting sagging & sinking structure which in turn led us to reinstalling it for them. However. with the right talent and equipment, it may not go as smoothly as it does for our professional installation crews, but it can be done as a budget-conscious solution for smaller projects such as residential! Please take note that installing a shade structure is a construction project. There will be quite a bit of digging and work to balance and set up your shade structure. Most people don’t realize how involved putting together a large commercial grade structure can be.

Mounting Options, Depending on the Product

When it comes to shade structures, there are a few options for mounting. Which one you choose generally depends upon your installation area and surface/soil.
In Ground Mount– In Ground Mount is the most common system. That is when you bury the pole directly into the ground using rebar and concrete.
Surface Mount – Surface Mount is mounted and bolted directly to a stable and solid surface. This approach would be ideal for a concrete pad or a pool area, for example. Anchor bolts and plates are generally required for this footer type.

Uncommon Mounting Types – (We Can Quote Upon Request) –

Recessed Mounting– Recessed Mounting is where the shade structure is mounted onto a concrete footer that is buried.

Spread Footers– Used when there is an issue with the depth or soil in the installation area. The shade posts are not as long as with other mounts and requires more concrete and labor to install.
Anchors– Anchoring to an existing structure such as posts, buildings, and roofs is only recommended for small tension projects.

Shipping

Manufacturing lead-time from Company’s receipt of the “Notice To Proceed” is approximately 6 to 8 weeks for standard structures, and 8 to 12 weeks for custom structures. Delivery is approximately 1 week thereafter. Delivery of structures may be prior to or at the start of assembly. Please note that these timelines do not include approval or permitting timeframes.
Once the item has shipped, you will receive a tracking number and important instructions for unloading. Ship dates are a best estimate and not guaranteed. Shipments can take up to 10 days in transit.
Every order with complex shipping requirements receives shipping instructions.
Unless a loading dock is readily available, this equipment ships via curbside delivery.
Cantilever systems generally benefit from having a forklift for unloading, which is typical in the industry.
There are many instances where the crates and pallets can be pulled apart by hand and unloaded as well, but a forklift is generally the quickest way to unload the product and is what trucking companies recommend to avoid possible detention charges (unloading that takes more than 3 hours).
