Attaching sun shade to gutter.

The reputable manufacturers will include turnbuckles that can simply be tightened with a screwdriver. Start with a pergola arbor or another structure you wish to cover with the shade cloth. Use snap hooks or carbines to attach it to the corners of the sail. Then go to each corner in turn and join the sun shade to the turnbuckle.

You simply need to place the screwdriver in the middle of the turnbuckle so that the entire piece rotates. If you have one corner of the sun shade without a turnbuckle usually because you are trying to keep the shade as close as possible to that point then attach this point first. For one corner it s sometimes better to use a tension strap. Leave at least 8 12 inches of overhang on all sides.

You don t have to take them down no storage hassles. The corners of the shade should have grommets or steel rings in place. They don t require you to build a permanent structure on the deck. Roll out the shade cloth across your structure and loosely pull it into position.

Just attach the hook to the turnbuckle and then slide it into place over the corner of the shade.
