I was thinking of installing a shade sail to my house with 2 of the points anchored to my house. The type of sail I’m installing is a square type I found on Amazon. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this is safe in the event of high winds? Some videos I’ve found suggests the most you need to do is make sure you’re tying into the end of a roof rafter… I know how to locate that, but I’m still a little nervous high winds could damage that part of my roof. Anyone have experience with this? Am I being too paranoid with this as a concern?

    Looks nice!.. So do you have one of the bolts going through the rafter behind the fascia then?

      Yeah. There are also 2x4s running parallel behind the fascia (which are attached to the rafters), so it’s really sturdy and anchored.
