How To Measure Shade Sail
Custom Super Ring Sizing
For the [CUSTOM] Super Ring 260 GSM Shade Sail, measure your mounting-point spans first, allow room for the hardware, then confirm the finished sail's corner-ring-to-corner-ring dimensions. Do not apply a universal deduction formula to this product. Allow space at each corner for your selected hardware and adjustment travel. For a square sail, choose Rectangle and enter equal side lengths. If your size is not listed, contact us before ordering.
Choosing the right size shade sail is essential for optimal sun protection and a secure fit. Follow these steps to measure your space accurately before purchasing a shade sail from Royal Shade USA.
Step 1: Determine the Size Needed
-
Assess the area you want to cover, considering the shape (triangle, square, or rectangle).
-
Measure the span between mounting points (e.g., walls, posts, or trees) where the shade sail will be installed.
-
Measure the mounting span first, then allow space at each corner according to hardware length and adjustment travel. Confirm the ring-to-ring size before ordering instead of applying one uniform percentage.
Step 2: Check Installation Hardware
Ensure you have:
-
4 mounting fixtures (pad eyes or ratchet winch wall mounts)
-
4 linking accessories (turnbuckles, snap hooks)
-
Extension wire ropes (if needed for extra reach)
Step 3: Connect the Shade Sail
-
Attach one corner of the shade sail to a turnbuckle using a snap hook.
-
Secure the other end of the turnbuckle to a pad eye mounted on your structure.
-
Repeat for all corners, ensuring even alignment.
Step 4: Tension the Fabric
-
Adjust the turnbuckles to remove wrinkles and sagging.
-
Tighten until the sail is firm but not overstretched.
