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

Smooth movement and reliable attachment of the shade sail

The set of 20 white Peddy Shield sliders with stainless steel screws is designed for efficient attachment and smooth guiding of the shade sail along the guide wires. These 30 mm long sliders are specially designed for a stainless steel wire rope with a diameter of 2 mm. The slider design allows easy extending and releasing of the sail, as well as quick removal from the wire with a single 90° turn without the need to disassemble the tensioning system.

Key advantages of the sliders

• Maintenance-free machine washing: The sliders are made of high-quality, temperature-stable plastic that withstands a 40 °C washing cycle without damage. You don't need to unscrew them when cleaning the sail.
• Absolute corrosion resistance: The included stainless steel mounting screws guarantee lasting mechanical strength of the joint without the risk of rusting or staining the white fabric.
• 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.
• Universal use: The set is designed for ready-made Peddy Shield shade sails, but is also ideal when sewing your own shade sails, whether by yourself or through a tailoring service .

Instructions for correctly attaching the sliders to the sail edge

For trouble-free and smooth movement of the shade sail without sticking, it is necessary to follow the exact procedure during installation:

• Maintain a 20 cm spacing: For even tensioning, we recommend a spacing of exactly 20 cm between sliders. At this distance, the fold depth 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 fit onto the reinforced seams at the corners and could damage the needle during installation.
• Screw orientation: Slide the sliders 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 using a small Phillips screwdriver so that the slider is fixed at exactly a right angle (90°) to the sail hem. An incorrect angle causes the sliders to cross and stick on the rope.

Important requirements for the guide wire

To maintain proper function and smooth movement, it is necessary to use a certified stainless steel wire rope with a smooth surface (smooth braided cable). Ordinary industrial steel ropes have too coarse a structure, which acts like a file. On a rough rope, the plastic wears down quickly, causing the system to stick.

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