Sun Shade Sail Hardware Kit - 8 Inches - Super Heavy Duty - for Rectangle and Square Sun Shade Sail

I purchased 2 packages. Out of the 4 turnbuckles, one end on 3 of them would not turn by hand. It almost wouldn’t turn holding with pliers and slamming with a hammer. Brutal. Once they loosened, if you can call it that, they should be able to twist to adjust when I put up the shades. We are you will need serious hand strength.

Easy to install-exactly what I expected!

Product as same as description, I wish it will included a short wire for install.

When I opened this product, it did not contain the 2 turnbuckles.

We used this kit to hang our sunshade. It was easy to use and worked great.

They seem to be great quality so far..we'll see how they hold up in and Indiana storm.

It becomes smaller and smaller during the pandemic. Durability is in question! Disappointed!

I used a couple of these kits to install shade sails over my courtyard. The hardware is of good quality and should last a long time. There are a couple of suggestions I have for the DIY community. First, it is a really good idea to use anti-seize compound on the threads of the turnbuckle. This will prevent a condition known as galling where dry threads can lock up tight and render the turnbuckle unusable. You can find anti-seize compounds (which resemble automotive grease) on Amazon such as Permatex, Loctite and CRC brands. Second, one of my turnbuckles unwound by itself one windy night and when my wife went outside early in the morning, the turnbuckle pieces let go and hit her in the head! No injury, and we both laughed at the odds that the turnbuckle would let go at that precise time, but it did! The answer is to use lock nuts. Buy 8mm stainless steel nuts from Home Depot or Lowes, add lock-washers and thread them onto the side marked "R" (this represents the right hand threaded component). After getting the shade sail tension adjusted to your liking, tighten the lock nuts against the frame of the turnbuckle, and it won't unwind by itself again. Overall I'm satisfied with the turnbuckle shade sail kit except that the turnbuckle frames were slightly bent. However, this did not affect the basic mission or performance.

They work well with the shade sail ropes.

Good product. Smaller than I thought. Screwes only # 6 and too short

Muy fuerte y resistente
