Owning your own home

We got a sun sail the other year, which was pretty effective but in totally the wrong position so we didn't use it.

Now we've redone the patio it falls in the right space but I need to buy a pole and work out how to mount.

If you go to tool station you can get turnbuckles and steel wire kits much cheaper than sail suppliers.

The challenges with a sail in the uk are wind and making sure they don't pool with water. I actually think knitted plastic would be more practical and probably give you the sort of shade you need in the UK.
