                                              steel tubing  
                                         Post intallation guidelines. 
            (Engineering is available to determine footing and post details.  The
           following is meant to give some guidance for preparing your budget.)

4.5" tubing is generally ideal for supporting our ready made size sails.  Though they are galvanized and rust resistant, they can be powder coated or painted to provide the
desired color. Depending on the height, they are usually embedded in a concrete footing,
3 ft. to 6 ft. deep and 1 ft. to 1.5 ft. in diameter. (Generally a third of the total length
of steel is embedded.... So for example, a 10' high post should have about 5' in the

ground). Plumb or slightly lean back the post and support it until the concrete has dried.
If the posts are taller than 12' or more than one sail is attached to the same post then larger diameter posts are usually required.  If you need to cut it then we use either an
angle grinder or circular saw with a metal cutting blade.
