The practical difference is whether you can change the anchor height after installation. Standard sets one height and holds it, which is fine when the sail geometry is settled and the sail is within its area rating. Pro is the one to specify when the sail is larger, when the corner heights need tuning to get the right tension and water run-off, or when the layout may change. Steel is also heavier than aluminum, which matters for handling but not for the finished install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does 75° and 90° mean on a Mod Shade pole?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e75° and 90° describe the pole's angle from the ground: a 90° pole stands vertical, and a 75° pole leans by 15°. The lean is used to pull a sail's corner outward and put tension into the fabric. Tara ships kits at 75° as standard and offers 90° in select applications only, so check your layout before specifying 90°.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size shade will a Standard pole support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tara Mod Shade pole, Standard supports shades up to 282 square feet. Above that, the Pro pole is rated to 360 square feet. The number of poles a given sail needs depends on its shape and corner count, so confirm the layout before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFair Trade-Off to Know Before Buying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know. First, this pole supports Tara shade sails, and Aqua Terra Backyard does not currently stock that line, so there is nothing on this site for it to attach to and ordering one means sourcing the sail elsewhere. Second, the height is fixed: if the corner height is wrong after installation, the fix is a different pole, not an adjustment. If you want adjustability, specify the Pro. If you want overhead shade that arrives as a complete working system, the Shade DeLux cantilever covers 80 square feet on its own, or see \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.aquaterrabackyard.com\/collections\/umbrellas-shade\"\u003eShades \u0026amp; Umbrellas\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this pole work with the Shade DeLux cantilever?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The Tara Mod Shade pole supports Tara's shade sail lines and is not a Shade DeLux component. The Shade DeLux mounts on its own footers, either direct to concrete or on ballast bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a shade sail included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. This is the support pole only.
