Attaching sun shade to gutter.

For one corner it s sometimes better to use a tension strap. Leave at least 8 12 inches of overhang on all sides. 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. You don t have to take them down no storage hassles.

Roll out the shade cloth across your structure and loosely pull it into position. They don t require you to build a permanent structure on the deck. Attach vertical screens to the extended awning to block the sun when its low in the sky. The corners of the shade should have grommets or steel rings in place.

Retractable awnings provide instant shade or quickly roll up when you don t need them. The reputable manufacturers will include turnbuckles that can simply be tightened with a screwdriver. Some of the cheaper brands of sail shades don t have these and simply attach directly to the hook. You simply need to place the screwdriver in the middle of the turnbuckle so that the entire piece rotates.

Then go to each corner in turn and join the sun shade to the turnbuckle.
