Tell me why this wouldn't work.4x4 wooden posts with 2x4 (or similar) feet. Then I stake down each foot by just hammering some rebar down on it. Is this retarded? I want to be able to move the sails relatively easily compared to sinking posts into the ground with concrete.
>>2997865>shade sailYou'd struggle with the tension the sails are usually under. Maybe with something like camo netting (so it doesn't catch wind) and a saggy setup it could stand, but it won't look nice or block much.
>>2997865a 4x4 isn't strong enough to hold tension if it was sunk into a concrete pier, let alone using surface-level feet. just get an umbrella stand if you want something mobile.
>>29978654x4 posts is the first stupid part, you don't need more than a strong polethe second is not using guy lines instead. physics is your friend.if I were going to do it like pic, like say my uncle owned a 4x4 post rental and they were free, I'd dunk them in a barrel each and fill it with cement. easy to move around with leverage, again physics is your friend.
>>2997865Could use small ground screws for a not-entirely-permanent install, that'd be the not so shitty variant.
