Hello Edwin, here are some measurement for you to use to determine how far apart the posts should be 47" x 106" long.

I just went and checked. You can come out about 1' from the frame of the trailer on each post. I have mine set about 5" from the frame now. They are very sturdy. Great for lining up the boat when loading. I would buy again in a minute if I needed them.

The post really need to be more than 10' bc it won't be tight. You need distance for the length of the sail and a hook and eye hook in the post so Atleast 6" more.

We have two hanging over our island. We love them. From middle to middle they hang about 42 inches apart. The size feels just right over our 7 foot island.

I did not set posts. I built an arched frame over a trampoline and used it as a shade cover in that manner. I will tell you that the corners do hang out further than the center of the shade cloth and there is some stretch to the material in and of itself.Whatever the measurement is , I would allow an extra six inches in the pole settings and buy at least two adjustable straps to mount it with. You might want to check out Harbor Frieght. Also, a slight pitch will help you get leaves, etc off the top of the shade in a much more easy manner than a flat top. Good luck. It is a good quality shade! I did not set posts. I built an arched frame over a trampoline and used it as a shade cover in that manner.

I have been mounting them in the light fixtures themselves or splice box close by. I do not have a specific answer for you but I would keep it close....say 10 feet. You would have to check with the Mfg.The distance would depend on the wire gauge and load being attached. Sorry... can't be more specific.

Posts are 22'' apart front to front and 15" front to back. The measures are center to center. The radius of the posts are 1".

There posts are small about a 1/2 inch each so you would need 4 to make one 2 " post.

On the one I purchased, the posts are 4 ft apart; the support post adjusts from 4-6 feet in height.

I would like the same answer. These pieces are not cheap and I bought 3 panels and clipped them together, but I don't want to have to invest a lot more money to buy their posts.

The tines are in a row, so you can put them very close to a wall. I am not sure how standardized these are, but my top hook is offset from the line made by the tines by about 45 degrees, so if mine were planted flush against a wall, the end of the hook would be about six inches away from the wall.

I added 3 feet to the dimensions of my sail and placed the post accordingly. For example a 14 foot wide sail should have the posts placed 10 feet from the center to each side. Add 3 feet to the other dimension to determine the distance from the house for the pole. The sills will stretch at the corners when you tension them.

What ever distance you desire. I would keep it under 10 feet apart to insure lateral support.

Set your post first. Once set cut it off 24" from the ground. The rest is a piece of cake. Follow the simple instructions that are included. Nice box.

Thanks for all the answers. I did order them and will hang them separately.

The bottom of each post has a plate with 2 holes they are 180 degree's apart, you can use any kind of lag screw or wood screw or even cement screws

I ended up hanging mine from a tree branch with some chain. I don't see how you could attach it to a post unless you just sit it on top of one.
