also, how much space is needed between the mounting point and the sail - how long the ropes/chains from post to sail?

It will be variable based on your placement and the actual sail you receive. The best thing to do is to lay it out and mount/attach one side, stretching as tight as you can. There is a great how to video on YouTube "installing a Coolaroo shade" that we found helpful. You can also print instructions from the Coolaroo website. You will need to buy a hardware kit- (the clamps and clips that go with the sail) as they do not come with the sail. Also, I cannot stress enough that you will need 6x6 posts for the 18ft sail. Not 4x4's. They cannot handle the tension of the sail. You will probably need 4 small bags of quickcrete to set the posts. Posts have to be at an angle to handle the sail's tension as well. Get a few friends to help you! Hope all goes well.

I suggest having a couple of feet between sail and post. You can connect the sail directly to the post. However, as stretching occurs ( a bit during the first month or so), you won't be able to tighten up the sail.

Hello , the ideal size you would want is a 17x17 if it will be directly attached to the house. 16-16.5 if you need hardware on 4 corners Hope this helps. this has helped many people. http://backyardcity.com/Shade-Sails/Shade-Sails-Installation.htm

Well, width you will measure across boat where you plan on mounting it. Height, go up from those same points to see how tall you want it. I like to be able to stand without ducking under it. Think those are your only two choices of measurements.

I agree with the others about setting posts further than the 12ft. I have chains attached to the house, about 1ft and then my posts are 14ft from the house also with some short chains. Rope is included with the shade to adjust to the correct distance, so my thoughts would be 14-15ft.

Sounds to me like you need a chain long enough to reach the fence. Be sure to attach to a fence post and not the fence. I use chains and and attach a turnbuckle to tighten the shades. I just received my order of 4 square sail shades. I have a couple of guys coming in to dig the holes (with a rented auger) and I plan to set seven 4x6x16' posts in concrete. The other side will be attached to my house. This will cover my back deck which in 56' X 18'.

I don't have access to my boat right now to measure it accurately, but I believe it is around three feet long. I use it on my 17' boat and it is fine for that size boat.

Don't know the exact lenght but my 30 inch sup fits with room to spare. The boards usually get narrower towards the ends where they contact the rack. Works great. A bit expensive but worth it.

I have a 40m rope and their is all kinds of room in it. But it is a 8.4mm. I have bigger ropes in the 10. mm range that should have no problem - in the 40m to 60m range.

37" of mountable area in the front, 36" in the back...with the space between the racks is 27 inches...I use it to transport a 14' tandem kayak...

Probably not long enough. Maybe 5 ft long at most. It can b turned for stern mount too

It's 20" along over the water and sides are about an inch. I don't know how good the mounting is because I mounted it differently to hold a BBQ . Good value for the price.

Thanks for the answer but I was looking for the exact distance in between the mounted brackets length wise. I would anticipate it to be around 8 feet or so.

Once poles and hooks are in the actual putinf up the sail does not take but a few minutes. We left ours up all summerAnd took it down this past weekend for the winter. It took about. 5 min to take t down and fold up.

The dimensions should be clearly noted in the product description. That's how I figured out if it would work for the space I have & it works perfectly. The exact answer to your question is unknown by me at this time because I live in Canada & my Party Sail is safely stowed away & will be for some time yet I fear!
