Peddy Shield Set of 20 Sliders for Attaching Sail to Wire Rope - Ivory

Smooth sliding and reliable attachment of the shade sail

The set of 20 ivory Peddy Shield sliders with stainless steel screws is used for mechanical attachment and smooth guiding of a shade sail along guide wires. These unique sliding glides, 30 mm long, are calibrated exclusively for stainless steel wire ropes with a diameter of 2 mm. The design of the sliders makes it easy to pull the sail open and closed, as well as quickly release it from the wire by simply turning it 90° without needing to dismantle the tensioning system.

Key advantages of the sliding glides

• Maintenance-free washing in the washing machine: The sliders are made of a high-quality, temperature-stable plastic that withstands a washing cycle at 40 °C without damage. There is no need to unscrew them when cleaning the sail.
• Absolute corrosion resistance: The included stainless steel mounting screws guarantee permanent mechanical strength of the connection without the risk of rusting or staining the sail.
• Easy installation and removal: To attach the sail to the wire, simply insert the wire into the slider's groove and turn it 90 degrees. Removing the sail is just as quick, in the opposite direction.
• Versatile use: The set is intended for ready-made Peddy Shield shade sails, but it is also ideal for sewing your own shade sails, whether DIY or through a tailoring service.

Instructions for correctly fitting the sliders onto the sail hem

For trouble-free, smooth sliding of the shade sail without jamming, it is important to follow the exact technological procedure during installation:

• Keep a 20 cm spacing: For even tensioning, we recommend a spacing of exactly 20 cm between sliders. At this distance, the depth of the folds of the rolled-up sail will be approximately 10 cm.
• Skip the corners of the sail: Leave the first 2 cm at the reinforced corners of the sail free. Plastic sliders are difficult to attach to the reinforced seams in the corners and could damage the needle during installation.
• Screw orientation: Slide the glides onto the edge hem of the sail so that the side with the stainless steel screw head faces outward or upward. This way, the screw will not be visible when viewed from below.
• Thorough tightening: Tighten the screw with a small Phillips screwdriver so that the slider is fixed exactly at a right angle (90°) to the sail hem. An incorrect angle causes the glides to cross and jam on the wire.

Important requirements for the guide wire

To maintain optimal function and smooth sliding, a certified stainless steel wire rope with a smooth surface must be used. Ordinary industrial steel wires have a surface that is too rough, acting like a file. On a rough wire, the plastic wears down and abrades quickly, which leads to the system jamming.

NOTICE: The seller is not responsible for damage or excessive wear of the sliders caused by the use of non-original guide wires with a rough surface.
