Final tensioning is essential for the stability and performance of a shade sail. The Kalahari Turnbuckle is designed to apply controlled, precise tension during permanent shade sail installations.
Manufactured from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, this turnbuckle is especially useful for triangular and square shade sails and supports long-term stability in outdoor environments. It is used to connect the shade sail corner ring to a fixing point and is adjusted by turning the body to apply the necessary tension to the shade sail.
Note: There should always be two tensioning devices per shade sail.
Suitable for shade sail installations over patios, pool areas, parking bays and garden play areas.
Key Features:
- FINAL TENSIONING ESSENTIAL: Achieves secure, stable shade sail tension.
- CONNECTION & ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION: Connects shade sail corner ring to fixing point and allows controlled tensioning.
- MARINE-GRADE 316 STAINLESS STEEL: Superior corrosion resistance for outdoor use.
- PRECISE ADJUSTMENT: Turn-to-tighten design allows accurate tension control.
- OUTDOOR-READY CONSTRUCTION: Suitable for permanent installations.
Installation:
- For safe and effective installation, ensure the shade sail is fully tensioned and fixed to secure mounting points.
- Each corner must attach to either a wall-mounted pad eye or a pole-mounted eyebolt.
- Use S-hooks, D-shackles or snap hooks to connect the shade sail's D-rings to the mounting hardware.
- At least one corner on a triangle, or two corners on a square or rectangle, must include a turnbuckle to achieve proper final tensioning.
- A strap tensioner may be used for initial tightening; a turnbuckle must be used for final tensioning.
- Correct tensioning is essential for stability in windy conditions.
