INSTALLING SHADE SAIL
A. Your Coolhaven Shade Sail Kit includes the xing
accessories needed for installation (Fig. 9).
IMPORTANT: Be sure to use the included
turnbuckles on two of the shade sail’s
attachment points for proper tensioning. A
rope or chain can be used to extend your shade
sail to a xing point if required. Additional
xing accessories may be purchased on www.
coolaroousa.com
B. Connect xing accessories to mounting points
as required. Ensure all accessories face towards
the middle of the shade sail and are tightly
secured (Fig. 10).
C. Connect all points, using the included strap
tensioning tool if necessary to gain increased
leverage (Fig. 11). Stop tensioning when the
shade sail is rigid with little or no creases and
does not sag. The tighter the shade sail the less
movement and less movement means longer
life of the shade sail (Fig. 12).
D. For Temporary Installations using rope (Fig. 13).
