Best Shade Sail Hardware Buying Guide
Before choosing the best shade sail hardware you should consider the following options:
1. Staking System: When choosing a shade sail, you need to make sure it comes with a proper staking system. That will help keep the shade taut and also secure it in strong winds.
Most quality shade sails will come with either metal or polypropylene stakes. If you are looking for a portable shade solution, polypropylene stakes are the best option.
They are lightweight and easy to transport, but they don’t hold up as well as metal stakes in strong winds. Metal stakes are heavier and more expensive, but they offer a stronger and more secure hold.
2. Tension Rods: A good shade sail will come with enough tensioning rods to keep it taut. If you are looking for a portable shade solution, you will likely have to purchase additional tension rods.
The number of tensioning rods needed is determined by the size of your shade and the amount of wind you expect.
3. Weight Rating: The higher the weight rating, the stronger the shade sail. That’s important because the amount of tension in the shade will determine how much strain it’s under.
The staking system, the number of tensioning rods, and wind speed will determine how much strain is put on the shade. The weight rating will let you know how much strain the shade can withstand before breaking.
4. Color: You might not think the color is important, but different colors have different benefits. White sails are great if you want to reflect sunlight and help keep the temperature cooler.
Black shades are great for blocking sunlight. Some shades come in a variety of colors, so you can decide which one is best for your needs.
5. Cost: The cost of a shade sail will depend on a variety of factors, including the size you need, the materials, and the number of bells and whistles you want.
If you are looking for a portable shade solution, the cost will depend on the number of tensioning rods and stakes you need to purchase.
