The first step in our project required us to install 2 stainless steel
shoulder eyebolts into two separate pre-installed 4x4 posts.
The inside eyebolts will be used as attachment points for the cable
assemblies used to suspend the sun shade over the pool and patio. The
outside eyebolts will be used as separate attachment points for the
cable assemblies providing structural support for the two posts.
Once the eyebolts were installed, we screwed in earth ground anchors as
ground attachment points for the supporting cable assemblies.
Next, we connected one end of a stainless steel jaw and jaw turnbuckle
into the eyebolt, connected the other end to the cable assembly, and
then, connected the cable assembly to the earth ground anchor.
We repeated the same process for the other cable assembly, and lastly,
applied tension to the cable assemblies and posts by tightening the
turnbuckles.
With both support cable assemblies installed, the next step in our
project required us to install the other two cable assemblies used to
suspend the sun shade over the pool and patio.
We connected each assembly to stainless steel jaw and jaw turnbuckles
and connected them to the eyebolts we previously installed.
Once everything was in place, we tensioned each cable assembly with the
turnbuckles, attached the sunshade to each cable run, and pulled the sun
shade over the pool and patio, finishing our project.
Tips:
-
Make sure the sunshade is big enough to cover your pool or patio.
-
Choose a sunshade that's made of a durable material that can
withstand the elements.
-
Anchor the sunshade securely to prevent it from blowing away in the
wind.
- Clean the sunshade regularly to keep it looking its best.
With a sunshade, you can enjoy your pool or patio all summer long,
even when it's hot outside.
