When planning a shade sail beside a house, shed or other building, you may want one or more sail corners to connect to a fixing point on the roof. A roof-mounted bracket can place that connection above the gutter line, helping the sail extend closer to the eaves and reduce the uncovered strip that can remain between the roof edge and the curved edge of the sail.
This can be especially useful when you want the shade sail to cover an area right beside the building, without installing a post in the way. Roof-mounted brackets are sold separately from shade sails, and different options suit different roof types and structures.
Suggested Roof-mounted bracket suppliers:
USA: SkyLift Hardware
Browse SkyLift’s shade sail roof brackets
SkyLift offers roof riser brackets for shade-sail applications. The bracket connects through the roof to structural framing, creating an elevated fixing point for the sail. Note: You will want to also purchase a waterproof pipe flashing with your bracket.
Australia: Roof Extenda
Browse Roof Extenda’s shade sail anchors
Roof Extenda’s anchors are designed to connect a shade sail to the roof structure above the gutter line. This can help the sail finish closer to the roofline and increase shade coverage beside the building.
Check these details before Purchasing:
Before buying, check that the bracket is suitable for your roof type and can be suitably fixed to your building’s structural framing. Also check how the roof penetration is weather-sealed and whether the required flashing or seal is included or if you need to purchase this separately.
Plan and check the bracket location before purchasing your roof bracket. Once you have all fixing points confirmed and installed you can then measure between your fixing points to get your final measurements.
