My Deck, measuring 16' deep and 20' wide. I would like to put 4x4's up on each corner and attach this. What are the dimensions? I don't want it to sag

The coverage is more like 20 by10. The corners stretch to the 20+ and 13+. You need to stretch tight so it does not sag.... which will get you close to the 20 by 16. On the plus side we love it. It has survived really strong violent winds well.

Do not use 4x4s unless your height is no more than 4 ft off the ground. a unit of this size will require support columns like a schedule 40 pipe 4 in in diameter or more embedded in 3 by 3 ft concrete footings at least.

Sorry I ordered this for a friend and was not involved with the installation or usage.

I sank a couple of 4" x 4' posts outside my patio. Two corners are attached to the house and two corners are attached to the posts. Works great.

Yes they can go over a 4x4. Some of them may be a little tight and need a rubber hammer. They are pretty sturdy. I used 2 inch screws to attach to my deck I have as much as 10 ft between posts.

You can attach to a deck by putting screws through the "feet" on the legs (2 holes each) -- make sure you make distance between each set of legs the same, so the feet attachments are square and balanced -- you can also buy the leg WEIGHTS that are available from the manufacturer, or you can devise your own "weights" -- this is a good product, but it must be attached/weighted in any kind of breeze or wind --

Rope would be the answer tied to each castle corner, then loop that between the decking as mentioned already. A concern would be an accident of falling out (doorway or down slide) onto the deck vs. "softer" grass / lawn...

Not a problem. I will email you the dimensions tommorow morning when I return home. Thanks

thx for the answer. Won't work as I need a 20 x 24 base for my built in.....

Should be OK as long as you...Insure you have at least 8ft. min. clearance all around unit. Do not set directly on wood decking. (Use 1/2" min. thick concrete protective board under it)

You can configure it to whatever height and width you want. Each cube is approximately 14x14. I'm not excited about the product and am going to sell it at a yard sale and find something more durable.

You have several issues here. First, consider what is holding up the 2x4. I wouldn't put a point load of 400 lbs in the middle of a span of say, 8ft. I have mine supported by a 2x8. The bolt hole spacing on the hoist is about 3 1/2 inches, so the 2x8 is wide enough to cover the holes. I bought some longer bolts (2 1/2 i think), bored the hole pattern of the hoist through the 2x8, and bolted it without using the steel brackets and short bolts that came with the hoist. If you already have a 2x4 in place, you could do the short span of 2x8 like i did and then attach the 2x8 to the 2x4. That would accommodate the bolt pattern and add stiffness.

I have used mine on a 32"x32" table with no trouble. Now, it will hang over the edges of the table so i just tell the people to not lean on the edges but the table itself is very sturdy and doesn't sag where it's hanging over. The 40" table would be even better. I like the table and would recommend it.

Veronica,Its intended for 48" high play decks, but this should work for you. Please let us know if you have any further questions.Sincerely,

the bracket do not extend above the 2x4, in fact the brackets are designed for the 2x4 to be flush with the bracket. you can easily place a sheet of plywood on top of it, I do it all the time when I need a table outside to do some work.a 4x4 will not work with these bracket, they are designed to accommodate only 2x4when you assemble them, make sure you stretch the legs a bit, this will improve the stability; and do not overload the bracket, it is only plastic, but sturdy

We attached ours to 2- 4X4X8 ft treated posts. The posts we set in the ground 2 ft deep. Has worked great for us we have a Trumpet vine on ours and holds it no problem!

Our top rail measures the same and we bought the 2 x 4. Fits snugly and won't move unless you move it. Our deck looks beautiful now. Pat

You may have to add rope to each corner as there is not enough to make the 20' length. The 10 foot dimension may make for a droop in the shade between the post. I am very happy with my shade!!
