Abstract:
The porch sail is a combination of varying sized and shaped flat panels that shield a porch or other building structure from sunlight, wind and airborne debris. Each of the panels includes a main body with an outer support edge along the perimeter of the panel. Fastener receiving rings are positioned along the outer support edge. Each panel is attached to adjacent panels by fasteners that extend through the fastener receiving rings on each panel. The porch sails are also mounted to the building structures by the fasteners, which secure the panels to structure mounts positioned along the building structure. The porch sail panels are provided in a wide variety of colors to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the device.
