The adjustable pole has been entirely designed by Espace Ombrage with quality, aesthetics and ease of use in mind.

The adjustable mast

What is the adjustable pole made of?

- A 2.60 m long anodised aluminium mast profile.

The anodising makes it rustproof and therefore suitable for permanent installation by the sea. The finish of the profile is beautiful with its matte aluminium or anthracite or brown powder-coated finish and its modern and pure design lines.

- A slide that allows you to adjust the height and inclination of your shade sail.

This slide, inserted in the rail of the pole, is adjustable over the entire 2.60 m of the pole. Very easy to use thanks to a unique Espace Ombrage system: simply lift the handle to slide the slide to the desired height. This slide provides real modularity to your installation, allowing you to change the position of the sail throughout the day, so that you always have shade where you want it and are always protected.

Mast with two sails

- A tensioning system connected to the shade sail

Directly inspired by the nautical world with a black rot-proof rope 8 mm, the system contains single or double pulleys in marine stainless steel which ensure a very easy tensioning and an excellent resistance, a stainless steel snap hook which allows an easy and fast unhooking of the shade sail.

Reinforced long tensioning system

Which base is suitable for my terrace?

There are 4 versions of tensioning masts available:

The base to be sealed, Espace-Ombrage's best-seller. The adjustable mast to be embedded is a robust, practical product, completely removable in winter. It is designed for the installation of masts on soft ground. It provides additional rigidity to your shade sail installation.  It is delivered in three parts: the mast profile, the reinforcement and the sleeve to be embedded in the concrete. It is available in a 90° vertical or 82° inclined version. It is up to you to choose the best version for your garden or terrace. For installation, a hole of 40 cm in cross-section and 60 to 80 cm in depth is required. Its sleeve makes it possible to create a hole in the concrete block. A 1 m steel reinforcement is inserted into the hole and the aluminium profile of the pole is inserted around the reinforcement and into the sleeve.

The screw-on base is used for hard floor terraces (e.g. wooden, tiled or concrete floors). It is also available in a vertical or sloping version. Ideal for screwing onto an existing deck. Easy to install, you just need to drill four holes per plate, make a chemical seal and insert 4 threaded rods. This plate exists in two versions, straight at 90° or inclined at 82° and the adjustable mast is available in 260 or 300 cm height. As with the version to be sealed, this mast is removable in winter, leaving only a base on your terrace.

Impossible to drill into the ground? Here is a solution to get around this constraint, the adjustable mast with wall plates. Made up of two plates with rings, these are fixed to a wall at least 70 cm high. The adjustable pole is inserted directly between the wall plates. This pole is ideal for raised terraces or roof terraces. It does not need to be screwed to the ground and avoids breaking the waterproofing of a building. Combined with a roll-up sail, you will obtain a configuration that is adequate to resist windy environments.

The latest addition to our adjustable masts. The weighted support allows you to install a mast without making any holes, whether for terraces, roof terraces or public spaces for example. A simple to install and removable version, it is sufficient to integrate 16 to 20 concrete slabs of 50 × 50 cm (not included) for optimal resistance to the tensile forces of the sail. This galvanised steel ballast support is compatible with a straight or inclined screw-in mast.

How to reinforce the mast when the sail is very large or to hang several sails on it?

The shroud:

The installation of several shade sails on the same adjustable mast is quite possible. It is then advisable to guy the mast in order to "relieve" it of all these tensions. The role of the shroud is to create an opposite tension in order to balance the whole.

The guy is also needed for a large sail or in a furling version of more than 20 m2.

Two versions available:

- Hard ground: concrete, stone, cement, etc.
- Soft ground: earth, sandy ground...
