Attaching sun shade to gutter.

Attach shade cloth to one of the longest sides first the edge closest to your house. 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. Leave at least 8 12 inches of overhang on all sides. They don t require you to build a permanent structure on the deck.

Then go to each corner in turn and join the sun shade to the turnbuckle. For one corner it s sometimes better to use a tension strap. You don t have to take them down no storage hassles. Some of the cheaper brands of sail shades don t have these and simply attach directly to the hook.

The reputable manufacturers will include turnbuckles that can simply be tightened with a screwdriver. Roll out the shade cloth across your structure and loosely pull it into position. Attach vertical screens to the extended awning to block the sun when its low in the sky. Use snap hooks or carbines to attach it to the corners of the sail.

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