FAQs
What material are the sunshade sail poles made of?
The poles are made of durable, galvanized steel.
How long is each pole?
Each pole is 200 cm (approximately 6.56 feet) in length.
What is included in the delivery?
The delivery contains 2 x Poles, 2 x Spikes, and 2 x Ropes.
Can these poles be used on a patio or deck?
The spike design is intended for soft ground. For hard surfaces like patios or decks, you would need to use alternative anchoring methods such as base weights or securing the ropes to sturdy existing structures.
What is the diameter of the poles?
The pole diameter is 22 mm.
How long are the included ropes?
The included ropes are 300 cm (approximately 9.84 feet) long.
Are these poles suitable for strong winds?
While the poles are sturdy, their stability in strong winds depends heavily on the secure anchoring of both the poles and the sunshade sail itself. Always ensure proper tension and consider taking down the sail in excessively windy conditions.
Troubleshooting
Pole is unstable in the ground.
Ensure the spike is fully inserted into firm, compacted ground. If the ground is too soft, consider using additional support like sandbags or ground stakes around the pole base.
Rope is not long enough for desired tension.
Use longer or additional ropes to reach anchor points. Ensure the shade sail is not excessively large for the pole setup.
Difficulty inserting spike into hard ground.
Soften the ground with water if possible. Alternatively, use a rubber mallet or hammer to gently tap the top of the pole while guiding the spike downwards.
Pole appears to be rusting.
Wipe down the pole with a clean cloth and apply a light coat of protective oil. Store in a dry location when not in use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable galvanized steel construction for long-lasting use.
- Includes all necessary components: poles, spikes, and ropes.
- Easy to set up and take down, offering convenience.
- Spike design provides a stable anchoring point in suitable ground.
- Provides good height for effective sunshade coverage.
Cons
- Requires suitable ground (e.g., soil, grass) for effective anchoring with the spike.
- May not be stable on very hard surfaces like concrete without additional anchoring methods.
- Rope length might be limiting for very large shade sails.
- Assembly, while simple, does require manual effort.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify a suitable location with firm ground.
- Insert the spike end of each pole firmly into the ground to the desired depth.
- Attach the corners of your sunshade sail to the top of the poles, using the provided ropes or your sail's existing attachment points.
- Secure the sail by extending the ropes to anchor points (e.g., trees, posts, ground stakes) and tightening them to create desired tension.
Compatibility:
These poles are designed for use with most standard sunshade sails. The 22mm diameter pole is a common size. Ensure your sail's grommets or attachment loops can accommodate this diameter or can be adapted. The spike works best in soil, grass, or firm sand. It is not intended for use on hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt without modification or additional anchoring.
Care:
- After use, clean the poles with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris.
- Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion, especially if used in salty environments.
- Periodically check the poles for any signs of damage or excessive wear.
