Even though we use the highest-quality materials and make certain your shade sail anchors are securely installed, nothing is definite when it comes to the weather. The professional installation experts here at SunGuard Custom Shade Sails have seen high winds and rains damage shade sails in a number of surprising ways. If your shade sail is in need of repairs, all you need to do is call us and we will do whatever it takes to get your shade sail back up. Here are some of the common issues we often hear about and what we can do for you.
A Tear in the Shade Sail Itself
While shade sails are made out of very high quality, durable material, they can be torn if the wind manages to whip a tree branch down into the fabric or sends items flying through the air. We’ve even seen sails come loose on one corner and get caught on something. Whatever caused the hole in your shade sail, we can fix it. If it’s a small rip, we may be able to patch it. If it’s not, we can replace the entire shade sail. This type of shade sail repairs in Brisbane normally takes very little time, even if we have to replace the shade sail.
The Shade Sail Comes Loose from the Anchor
It takes very high winds to pull the shade sail loose from its anchor, but in hurricane-level storms, it can happen. In that case, your shade sail will most likely need to be replaced. We do not want to leave you with a shade that has a compromised hook or fastener. If the hook itself is damaged in some way, we may be able to replace only that hardware. One of our experts will need to examine it to decide.
The Anchors Are Damaged or Ripped Off Their Supports
Your shade sail can be anchored to a number of things. While we can install steel anchor beams, we can also install anchors on your house, the edges of your roof, the sides of an outbuilding, the posts of a fence, or any other support structure that is sturdy and reliable. However, storms have been known to pull anchors from these support structures if the winds are high enough. Our SunGuard Custom Shade Sails experts have also seen people drive vehicles into the support poles at such speeds that the poles themselves bent or were knocked down.
No matter what the reason, our experts in shade sail repairs in Brisbane are at the ready to replace the anchors. In some cases, anchors mounted on the house or other structure may need to be moved if the area they were mounted in was greatly damaged as the old anchor pulled out. Even if the spot is repaired, it may be structurally weaker than it was before, and we don’t want to risk the anchor being pulled out again.
In the case of damage to an anchor pole, we will replace the pole with a brand-new one to ensure its stability.
