Many gardens in Oberhausen are situated between brickwork, extensions, and mature outbuildings. This creates robust possibilities – but also the temptation to simply declare the nearest structural component an anchor point.
Custom-made shade sails between house and outbuilding
A workshop wall, garage, or old shed can be incorporated into the design if their structure can support the tension forces. A trapezoid shape makes good use of offset walls; for large courtyards, two smaller sails can be easier to handle than one large, heavy surface.
Plaster, insulation, railings, extensions, or exposed masonry are not automatically suitable anchor points. Before the final measurement, it should therefore be clarified where the tension forces can be safely transferred into the building structure. If there is no load-bearing point in the right place, an additional post can be the cleaner solution.
Securely fastening shade sails in Oberhausen: load-bearing capacity over drilling patterns
It is not the prettiest joint that decides, but the substrate behind it. For old masonry, cladding, or insulation, a local specialist should assess which type of fastening is appropriate.
Map out pathways first
Tension lines at shoulder height can quickly emerge between the terrace, garden gate, and shed. Mark these paths on your plan before determining the positions for posts.
Configure custom shade sails directly
Once the shaded area and approximate fabric dimensions are determined, you can assemble the shape, material, and equipment without any detours.
HDPE or waterproof polyester for Oberhausen?
For pure shading, HDPE is an air- and water-permeable solution. If the area also needs to be protected from rain, the UNICOVR shade sail made of PU-coated polyester is an option. The waterproof version requires sufficient tension and a planned slope.
Further information can be found in our guide on sensibly combining multiple shade sails.
Evaluate old extensions separately
The residential house, garage, and shed can consist of three completely different wall structures. Therefore, each anchor point requires its own assessment; the same brick look does not mean the same load-bearing capacity.
Plaster, insulation, railings, extensions, or exposed masonry are not automatically suitable anchor points. Before the final measurement, it should therefore be clarified where the tension forces can be safely transferred into the building structure. If there is no load-bearing point in the right place, an additional post can be the cleaner solution.
Typical areas of application in Oberhausen
- Courtyards with outbuildings
- Terraced and family gardens
- Break areas at workplaces
- Club and catering areas
On private terraces and in gardens, the focus is usually on a clearly defined seating or dining area. For catering, daycare, or commercial use, walkways, multiple users, and often several sails are involved. In Oberhausen, therefore, the entire outdoor area is not covered indiscriminately; instead, the areas that are actually used are shaded.
