Attaching sun shade to gutter.

The reputable manufacturers will include turnbuckles that can simply be tightened with a screwdriver. Leave at least 8 12 inches of overhang on all sides. If you have one corner of the sun shade without a turnbuckle usually because you are trying to keep the shade as close as possible to that point then attach this point first. Roll out the shade cloth across your structure and loosely pull it into position.

You simply need to place the screwdriver in the middle of the turnbuckle so that the entire piece rotates. They don t require you to build a permanent structure on the deck. Then go to each corner in turn and join the sun shade to the turnbuckle. Start with a pergola arbor or another structure you wish to cover with the shade cloth.

Attach vertical screens to the extended awning to block the sun when its low in the sky. Attach shade cloth to one of the longest sides first the edge closest to your house. Use snap hooks or carbines to attach it to the corners of the sail. For one corner it s sometimes better to use a tension strap.

The corners of the shade should have grommets or steel rings in place.
