Hi..

OK, so my real-life example is I have a 3m gap between the house and the garage which I want to hang a sunshade. 
The hanging point on the house is 2.6m high and on the garage 2.1m (above ground). 

I have a choice between 2 sun sails, and I want to know -approximately- what sag I can expect from each.

I realise this is not exactly the same as the hanging wire problem i posted before.. but it my attempt anyway. Can anyone improve?
