A sturdy and secure installation of your shade sail

A Platinum shade sail is very versatile and a perfect addition to any garden or terrace. It provides protection from the sun and creates a comfortable spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors. However, when installing a shade sail, it's essential to choose the right mounting materials to ensure it is safely and securely hung.

Why Platinum mounting materials?

Platinum mounting materials are known for their durability and reliability, crucial for hanging a shade sail. All mounting materials are made from 316 AISI stainless steel, making them resistant to corrosion and suitable for prolonged outdoor use.

Types of mounting materials

Turnbuckles are used to adjust the tension of the shade sail. They allow you to install the shade sail tightly and securely.

Snaphooks are ideal for attaching the shade sail to mounting points. They offer a simple and quick way to attach and remove the sail.

Chains are often used in conjunction with snaphooks to hang the shade sail from mounting points such as poles, beams, or eye bolts. Chains help bridge a distance.

Anchors with eyebolts are used to attach shade sails to concrete or stone surfaces. They provide a secure and permanent fastening solution.

Eye bolts with nut are used to attach the shade sail to wood surfaces such as fences, poles, or beams. They offer a sturdy and reliable fastening method.

A rail with an eye is useful for hanging shade sails if you need to adjust the height. For example, attach the rail with an eye to a wooden post.

Pad eyes are used to attach the shade sail to flat surfaces such as walls or wooden panels. They provide a sturdy and secure fastening solution.

A pole with a flex eye and a pole anchor forms a sturdy anchoring point in the ground for installing shade sails on one side. The flex eye allows you to adjust the height of the shade sail.
