building shade sail - type pole? - 55' OK? - help me not screw up

Not sure about pole type or how to install- doesn't the sail mfg. have ideas about that? To cover your .01% of doubt about any underground utilities you should call USA (underground service alert) at 8-1-1 for free utility location. If you do hit something it's on your dime.

I'll for sure call USA (underground service alert) at 8-1-1 for free utility location.

The nice person on the phone from the sail mfg. was a bit vague about post selection..... didn't really seem to know.

Just a idea . What about a electric awning ? Maybe you could attach the end of awning to wall for winds . I would worry about. The sail having slack in it . When they install them there are to be tight . You really don't want the wind moving the sail around , more stress on your attachments . They make electric (120)awnings for homes .Pat
