Can i place the anchoring points at 22' and 16'? My husband says that the diagonal won't be correct.

yes but keep in mind that the further you go out the higher up the poles need to be because of sagging.

We set our posts directly at corners of tarp. The tarp was very difficult to prevent sagging. We rigged a pulley system and even then it sagged. We seldom use because of the sagging.

Yes, you can do that with this kit and the boxes I received even had the directions. I didn't make it so I don't know how stable it is but I think it would work fine. After you stack the corner posts to get double height, the third slat will be split between two the upper and lower post to help tie things together. You will have two to three inches of extra post at each corner. If that look bothers you I think you could flip the unit and bury that part in the ground.

I am having the same problem. I plan to anchor it by placing a roped Brick O block to each corner post and lay one block on each side and back to prevent wind from getting under it. I have not tried it , but plan to.Please let me know of any ideas you get from others

You just set them on there. There is no anchor of any type. There are sticky pads that come with the stand. As long as the bottom is flat it won't go anywhere though.

Can go as close to house as you want. Not sure about anchoring cause it would blow away if not secured here

It appears you're correct. The fence can only be set at 24mm on one side and 54mm on the other. Kreg tools are usually pretty well thought out so I don't know what they were thinking on this one. I'm currently doing a face frame job so only used it for adjustable shelf holes, so it doesn't matter. It'd be a simple matter to attach a 17mm block of wood to the correct side of the fence when installed on the 54mm side.

Yes you could put the screws in the last holes and that would be 24 inches. I have mine at 16 because that is where my studs were! Most houses the studs are 16 on center, I've not heard of any being 24 on center, what I would do is use two 2x6s and run them across the 24 in gap and go from there! The only thing with that is your TV would be 1 5/8 inches farther out than just the plain mount!

I just checked mine and the anchor screw holes are the same as you described. This appears to be the way it is designed. Al

Use a stud finder to find a stud near where you want the mount. There should be another stud 16" away in each direction. I always drill a pilot hole to make sure there's really a stud in each location I intend to use. I wouldn't recommend using hollow-wall anchors for this because it is quite heavy even without the TV.

Yes, placed DIAGONALLY across from each other--on OPPOSITE sides. That anchors it perfectly. No need for 4 straps to deal with.

That would be pushing it at best. It says it's 22 inches between the center of the brackets when fully extended. It might work but I doubt you'll be able to angle them at all.

I don't think you can unless you have a nice stud to screw the anchors in. Personally, I wouldn't do it.

Tammy,Yes it will work, however it works even better when anchored. Best Regards,David H

16"7". Add 4' to your anchor measurements (2' at each anchor point) for satisfactory installation. Rain and wind will relax (stretch) the sail and you will need to tighten it some. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I gave this as a gift. So I can't measure it. But I agree, if you do simple calculation using the dimension to figure out the diagonal it comes to 10.24".

I tried mounting it on a joist but the alignment was off... I ended up just buying sheet rock anchors and mouting it between joists and it worked just amazingly awesome!

Don't know how that is possible because the mount points are 16" apart. There are 3 of them, one in the middle and one on each side. If you have 24' center studs and you put the center mount point there, the side mounts will not hit your studs.
