THE SHADE SAIL POST

After installing Gard&Rock anchoring bases flush on the ground (ref 428-001 not included), simply click the posts into them. This lets you reposition your layout anyway you like! Easily remove your equipment to mow the lawn, or to stow away for the winter.

☛ Tip: Install anchoring bases in various locations so you can reposition your sunshade anywhere in your garden and depending on what you're doing that day: relax on your lawn or by your pool, have lunch on your patio, drinks in the shade on your veranda!

☛ CHOOSING YOUR SAIL: To make it easier to mount and protect the poles, we recommend that you use a perforated sail (micro-ventilated, wind-permeable) with a surface area of 12 m² and a maximum density of 300 g/m². This will allow you to stretch out your sails to your liking and enjoy quality shading.

If you want to cover a larger area, in this case you should opt for shade nets (wind-permeable) with a maximum surface area of 20 m² (5x4 m for example).

Depending on the configuration of your layout and the position of the sun, you can instantly adjust the height and tautness of your sunshade and create shade anywhere in any circumstances. Ideal when the sun is low!

☛ Tip: Adjust each of your posts or mounting points to different heights. This will give you a sturdily taut shade that won’t collect pockets of standing water when it rains. And it will look better!

Install 3 or 4 posts and attach them to a triangular or rectangular sunshade. In minutes, you can set up your own personal pergola and enjoy the benefits of a classy sunshade with shapes, colours and materials to enhance your garden. You can also quickly dismantle it for clutter-free storage. In short, you will enjoy a modulable, functional, visually harmonious garden

French-designed, and made of anodised aluminium and chromed alloy, Gard&Rock sunshade mounting posts (with a total surface area of 12m2 / 130sq ft maximum or 20m² / 215sq ft for shade nets letting the wind through) are designed to last. What's more, their 10-degree tilt keeps your sunshade taut and looking great. Above all, you have sturdy attachment points to mount your sunshade equipment anywhere in your garden!
You can also adjust the orientation of your post in its anchoring base thanks to an inbuilt settings system.

☛ Tip: To ensure solid mounting especially in soft soil, we recommend sealing the anchoring base. This will keep your sunshade tauter for a long time. The procedure is described in the instruction manual and we invite you to watch this video: https://bit.ly/3TE591h

This way you will benefit from stable and removable fixing without obstruction!

Unequivocally innovative, Gard&Rock telescoping posts combined with their anchoring bases allow you to install aesthetically pleasing sunshades fast anywhere on your property. You can install them on your lawn, your patio, against a building or your pergola for an ideal layout. They can also be useful as sunshades for your vegetable garden or to protect your most fragile plants in a heatwave.

☛ Tip: Set up sunshades at the front of your house or veranda and install Gard&Rock repositionable posts to create a 3rd and/or 4th anchoring point. Adjust the height of your lowest sunshade to block the sun's rays at the end of the day. This will increase your shaded area, a big plus to make the most of your garden in the summer and keep you cool!
