We did not use poles. We put it over a deck and attached it to the facia board on the back of the house with stainless steel eye and S hooks and the other end to trees off the side of the deck. The shade has sewn in D hooks (like grommets) that fit on the S hooks.

I just used four treated 4"X4"X10' and placed them in the ground at three feet depth. It's a small sail so this works fine. The sails sets 7ft above our pool.

We attached 3 sides to the existing soffits of the house(using the studs) and then we cemented in a 12 ft. post for the other corner. It is just a redwood post.So far, it is holding even in a strong wind.

Normally you would have anchor poles and the shade you are about to purchase would be a replacement. But since you are asking, you need to either have anchor poles installed for a shade sail or you can build a frame to support it and attach lines to the corners and run them to anchors you put in the ground like used on a tent, and pull the lines tight, and use a pole in the center to give a peak. Good luck and enjoy, they work great.

I used conduit pipe to attach it to my deck. you could use 4x4 posts in the ground then attach the fly to the poles

You need to purchase poles separately. Poles from REI are the same as sold by Amazon but they're about 25% cheaper.

I made a YouTube video here of the net (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM0OHq1ipM8) to give you an idea. The net can always be placed lower on the poles if needed, even if the poles are not adjustable.

Yes! The poles come with 2 different "feet" allowing them to be used with a rubber foot, spiked foot or a cup like a ski pole!

Make sure the metal poles are very sturdy or they will bend when you tighten the fabric.

Yes. This system is the best portable I've seen and used. Poles are air pressured like air shocks. When you untighten knobs poles release slowly. I've raise them 10ft. They may go a little higher.

If you have balusters or a post you will need a mount kit. It would help for a wall too, to give you a flat area to attach to.

Yes, you will need poles set in concrete, or strong wall mount tensioning and attachment hardware. This net is not really a "backyard" type net, but more of a permanent net for parks, schools, etc. There are other net sets available with poles, ropes etc. For home or temporary use.

I used an old teacher ball pole. You know the ones in a tire with cement. Worked great.

I would recommend using the Achla pole system that complements the Achla pole top w/rectangular base. I would strongly advise using the corksrew in-ground pole base which will provide you solid base/foundation for the entire pole sysystem.

I'm sorry, I don't know; we had a metal set of poles from a very old set that we re-use. Caution: we got some plastic poles along with a net a few years ago and it they didn't hold up at all; they cracked and splintered after the UV exposure outside. They were very thin and hollow.

I wouldn't know, they never sent me the poles to put it together. Had to return it, sent to me with only 50% of the pieaces.

Hi Alan, you don't need your old poles - mine came with new poles that I just fastened to the old base frame. This has lasted really well so far, lots of heavy use and no damage. Cheers, Mark

The poles set up on top of the ground on a base. That ensures that the poles are both the same height. The poles are also held up by nylon support ropes with rings at each end that connect to steel stakes that are driven into the ground. It is an excellent support system that hold up the net even in high winds.
