The Ranch Mine I generally try to stay away from anything preceded by "fake", but that is a question you should ask your designer

The Ranch Mine Great questions. Yes and no. The sails inevitably sag/move a little over time. But they are attached so they can be tightened and altered, so when they do change over time, they can be adjusted and tightened.

Tenshon, LLC Might I make one other, admittedly self serving, suggestion. We also manufacture these sails, and do it here in the US. All of our material is commercial grade and we utilize equal or nicer hardware and materials that shade sails.com. Also, we are much cheaper. www.tenshon.com. ;)

The Ranch Mine Thanks, and great question. The concrete was stained with Cohills Enviro Stain. We sprayed 3 colors to create the marble effect. We then sealed it with a clear sealer. Hope this helps and best of luck with your deck.

The Ranch Mine Yes, those are the "bamboo" color

maureenlopresti How is that attached to the house?

The Ranch Mine Sorry it took me so long to respond, I must've missed the alert for the question. They shade sail anchors are tied into the roof trusses under the eave

The Ranch Mine Unfortunately we cannot. We are the designers of the project, not the supplier/manufacturer or contractor. I am sure the cost of the columns vary with the changing price of steel. I would consult a local contractor.
