Half a inch, if I'm not mistaken
That size of screw that is just a little smaller than its actual size. Thanks a lot Thanks a lot.
I agree that long screws are necessary
The screws are merely screwed into the wood. I did not use drill bits. The sail is my favorite part of my sun shade. It is a pleasure working with you, Lennie

If possible, drill with either a drill bit or a hammer I discovered that Phillips head screws were easy to strip out with a driver or impact driver. as they were driven into the As for the brackets and other hardware, the brackets and screws were solid with a nice finish. I replaced the old screws with galvanized deck screws.

Getting the sunshades correctly installed is made easier with this selection. As long as they are made of stainless steel, these should work for a long time. If you are mounting sunshades, you may want to use 1/8" plastic coated stainless cable and cable clamps to attach the shades to The method is far superior to eye hooks or nails.

As some other buyers have claimed, the picture of the kit does not represent the size of the turn buckles. They call them size 6 but that is misleading. Yes, there is a number 6 on.

No one would install a 16x16x16 triangle or larger shade with such a device, but probably not the person installing it. I can see where it would be fine for smaller shades, but the lack of carbiner clipping (there is only one) makes me think it would break if some strong winds came.

Both turn buckles would barely turn on the right hand thread and even after trying to work grease in, they would both gall up and the screws would shear The threaded fasteners on my stainless steel server were galling so I tried to work grease into them but they were machined in such a way that the threads came loose very quickly. I also thought the screws were very low quality and they stripped out quite easily. It would be better to use Torx screws.


A tensioner on one of the threads of one of our sun shade sails seized up after we bought these for installation. Because of that, we had to buy a second sun shade sail and my husband had to purchase tensioners (and other hardware) from the hardware store which were far more durable.

It is okay, but screws are worthless, they strip out too easily in 2x4 pine, even with a power driver and even with a screwdriver.
