Our backyard is quite a large space. Once covered in a small concrete slab and lots of knee-high weeds, we have since started transforming it into our own personal playground.
This whole transformation is only about half way done. We have the vegetable and herb garden and earlier this year we put in a lawn for the pups to run around on. One of the first things we did, after finishing with the garden, was to plant some fruit and nut trees. We are in desperate need for shade in this yard since only two years ago nothing was growing back there taller than 3 feet from the ground.
The trees have since taken off, especially our pecan tree, but we decided to get some more help in the shade department. After a quick look on Amazon, we found a simple square shade sail that fit perfectly between the house and the edge of the lawn.
We knew this would be a great addition to the backyard for all of our get together's.
We started by embedding some landscaping posts into the ground and mounting some eye-screws to the tops of them to create the other two anchor points away from the house.
Add a couple of carabiners and we are in business!
Ain't she a beaut? Only took us a few hours (and we only had to buy one auger attachment from Lowe's to dig the holes).
FYI, the shade you see in the photos are from our neighbor's yard. Thanks guys!
