How to Install a Custom Shade Sail | Pulley System, Cable Clamps & Turnbuckles

This is a very comprehensive video on the really important part of tightening a shade sail. The double loop rope trick is excellent. We use this simple method to tighten a sail on a windsurfer. I have seen some people use a ratchet strap level. The author's double-loop rope is the best of them all. Thank you very much.

What is the point of the cables running down the straight edges of the sail? Extra support? safety?

Hi, the cables ensure the sail tensions properly. Correctly installed, your sail should be tight like a drum. Also note - the edges are curved for optimal performance of your sail.
