In this video we will show you how to sew up and install a larger wire-reinforced shade sail. This tutorial is made for larger sail shades (25 or more feet per side) which require the installation of a wire rope in a sleeve around the sides of the sail. When a wire rope is used, the pulling force from the attachment hardware is transferred to the wire rope, rather than directly to the fabric. That force is then distributed throughout the perimeter of the sail. As the curved edges of the sail are pulled taut, the wire rope and fabric tend to straighten out, which pulls the center of the sail up and fights sagging common in larger shade sails.
