It's not it really a review on toja grid. It is really on the wood and if it rots. If you are going to span over 12 ft, which I think what was said. I would go with the 6 x 6 versus 4 x 4. Also, I would not use the screws that come with the kit. I would use the HeadLOK 3 1/2 " of 4 1/2" system screws which uses the spider bit. The screws supplied are a very soft metal and even of you pre-drill the holes, the head can still strip easily.
I put up an 8x10 a few weeks ago with a top shade. I anchored it to my patio with two anchors on each post. I also cut the height of the 4 posts to 7 feet....get more shade. Only wiggles if I push on a top corner.
Thanks for the review. The one question I can't find an answer to: do the sails only come in limited standard sizes? Or will Toja Grid make them to suit custom dimensions?
Thanks for the video! I’m looking at getting the 10x12 with 4x4 posts but I get a lot of wind. I’ll be taking the sail off when I’m not there, is it easy to put on and off? Also, would I be better with 6x6 posts? I’m using brown treated.

Thanks for sharing! I just bought this system and your videos are very helpful. : )

Thank you for reviewing the shade sail, I was looking to purchase one for my pergola.
I've had mine for four years. Never secured it to my patio and I've not had any issues with it. It's not a kite.

Thanks for the review, considering buying this and this was very helpful. simple and straight to the point
My Toja Grid feet have rusted pretty bad, in Orlando being outside, and not with the screws but the actual metal itself - I purchased in 2020
If you add the corner angled pieces it wont shake much at all. (I did this)
I seen horizontal brace's for back post to help keep it sturdy.
Very nice. Over here in AZ, wondering whats a harsh Canadian summer, lol Do you think it will wobble less if I put slats on top ?

Would 45° 4x4 braces (triangulation) add the support needed to remove the wiggle?
Did u leave up all year or did u take it down in bad weather

Wonder what happens if spray with never wet Rust-oleum?
Think you should turn the music down so we can hear the content
How does that hold up in the wind and rain?
Any post you don't put 3 feet into the ground is going to wiggle. Looks good though!
