    Great project idea. Old school post hole digger tip for you. My dad and both my grandpa's had tape or paint lines on their post hole diggers. Pre measure and mark depths such as 12" 18" 24" on you post hole digger and you can drop it in the hole, while it closed, and see how deep your hole is. It's faster than pulling out your tape all the time and sticking it in the hole. Just use your tape to double check the depth.

    Use pressure treated or cedar wood and coat the sunk portion with Henrys roofing tar. My old man was an old school carpenter and taught me. Even better, wrap the post in tar paper, staple in place AND coat with tar. It'll last many years will resist termites. But now they make composite material, so there's also that option.

    I use shade sails in the summer here in Texas. I have cemented PVC pipe and threaded cap into the ground. The opening in the PVC is large enough to accommodate 2 3/8" galvanized fence posts 12 feet long. I attach the sail to the top of the fence posts into which I have installed eye bolts. When the season is over, i remove the sail and the galvanized posts. I screw PVC caps into the top of the buried pipe and allow the sun to warm my deck in winter months and also I don't have to look or avoid the posts for much of the year. This extends the life of the sail considerably as they are stored for several months.

    @texasgemtree 2 года назад +55

    The dirt at the top of the post hole and set around the post in the pot with plants will rot the post. The cement should go all the way to the top of the post hole, even or slightly higher than the lawn level and dirt should never be put against the wood. Wood nowadays lasts less time than the posts of years back. The more water contacting the buried post through the dirt contact makes your rot grow faster and can introduce termites into your wooden post if you are in a termite zone.

      Not so sure about that. The chemistry for treating exterior lumber has changed over the years. Some treatments are rated for contact with soil. I would avoid soil contact regardless for permanent structures. No wood is invulnerable.

      @@valkyriesardo278 It is actually LESS effective now than previously. I was in the construction remodeling business and still have friends in the business. Manufacturers stopped using the more toxic treatment due to damages to humans and animals and making the environment more toxic. My friends say ground contact is a joke now. Be prepared for rot and repairs earlier rather than later. The life extension of the wood has decreased.

    I personally have no use for the shade sail, BUT I LOVE this video because of the post leveling technique! My yard is terribly slanted toward the back, so no area is level and for a building/making novice such as myself, this trick is gold for me! Thanks a bunch! Now, I need to get the posts for a patio area and figuring out how to level the “floor” of the seating area. It’s so bad, I find it hard to stand out there, since it messes with my equilibrium. Any advice on this? 😂

  • @nalvarado65
    @nalvarado65 Год назад +2

    Here's a couple pointers from experience.
    Make sure you leave plenty of room for your 4x4 posts to warp towards the shade sails. The tension will eventually bow them creating massive sag in the shade sails. I angled my 4x4 posts out and still had them bow to the point of having to replant them. No big deal but annoying. 4x4s may not be the best thing to hang shade sails on but they're cheap and in the evening while sitting under them the breeze makes them creak like a gallion. Pretty cool.
    My shade sails were for a graduation party and meant to be taken down after the season. They stayed up because we liked them. I was worried about inclement weather destroying them so i bought boat winches from amazon, installed them chest level, ran the winch strap through an I bolt at the top of the post, and connected the clips to the sails. When it looked like a storm was coming in they were down in 5 minutes. Up in five minutes when it passed. Why does no one else do this?
    These things seem to take a beating and are not complicated. My sails are triangular 25 x 25 ft and can be set up in a number of configurations and levels. Think about your post positions and be creative before you set them up.
    My neighbors compliment our yard. A yard that was to be a temporary party solution.
    Heres an edit; our posts are perfect for wireless cameras and solar lights . All in, i think the cost was under three hundred dollars. Ha.

    Awesome project. I’m doing the same except over a pool. I don’t want to deal with the eventual bow so I’m using steel. Since you puts pots around the posts and they need frequent watering you might want to seal the posts with tar or Redgard. Pressure treated isn’t what it used to be.

    I'm not sure I want to actually set posts in the ground. Do you think a 4x4 in a 5 gallon bucket with concrete could withstand the wind and not tip over?

    • @TheWillToMake
      @TheWillToMake  2 года назад +1

      I think I would depend on how tall your post is and how far up the shade is.

      They've held up great, they allow all the rain through and also the wind so they don't rip itself down

    I love your video because its not all the hype an upsell of products so hard to find a step by step quick vid so Thanks for that. Do they need slack for wind or tightlined? I'm researching but I want it to be waterproof all I see is Sun are they waterproof?

      No they don't need slack for wind because it will just blow right through it, and no they are not waterproof, they are mostly just for the sun. And thank you so much!!

      They were 10 feet long but I've been told that a 6x6 would be best and the angle doesn't matter as long as it is angled. I just put mine right under where the next level of our house started.

    “Level” is a term used only for the horizontal axis. “Plumb” is what should be used for the vertical axis.

    Hey, why didn't you give one big shade sail, but two? secondly, why didn't you provide metal pins, e.g. 1 meter long, that can be driven or concreted into the ground? If something happens to the beam, you just replace it and not destroy the foundation...

    I like the idea of potted plants at the base of the posts. However your pots are too dinky in scale for that post dimension. A larger size of pot or a grouping of pots would be more visually appealing.
