I was thinking of installing a shade sail to my house with 2 of the points anchored to my house. The type of sail I’m installing is a square type I found on Amazon. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this is safe in the event of high winds? Some videos I’ve found suggests the most you need to do is make sure you’re tying into the end of a roof rafter… I know how to locate that, but I’m still a little nervous high winds could damage that part of my roof. Anyone have experience with this? Am I being too paranoid with this as a concern?
I think that will work fine… You might put some carabiners on the cirners so you can take it down if you know there is going to be some bad weather.
You could also look at the rafters and tie the one you are anchoring to to another one close.
