FEATURES & BENEFITSOur Top Features, Your Benefits
Block UV Rays
Depending on your shade color choice, your shade structure can block up to 98% of UV rays.
Reduce Temperature
A Superior Shade commercial shade structure can reduce temperatures underneath the shade canopy up to 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
Get Lasting Color
Our shades are made with UV stabilized fabric, so you’ll get years of lasting color from your shade canopy. Not only does this help to resist fading, it also helps to resist fabric unraveling.
Meet Local Building Codes
You won’t have to worry about meeting local building codes. We have on-staff engineers that will work with you to ensure your shade meet your local building codes. Additionally, you may purchase engineered sealed drawings should your city require them.
Withstand Wind Gusts
Our commercial shade canopies are much different than homemade versions. Our shade structures are engineered and designed to withstand wind gusts up to 150 mph with the fabric removed. With the fabric on, our standard wind speeds are 75 mph for sustained winds and 90 mph for 3-second wind gusts.
Remove Fabric Quickly
If you choose a shade structure with our Glide Elbow™ fabric release mechanism, you can quickly remove your shade’s fabric with the use of a simple wrench or a cordless drill.
Don’t Stress About Maintenance
Our shade structures are low-maintenance. The most important thing about maintaining your shade structure is ensuring the fabric remains tight and tensioned over time (doesn’t sag).
Made In the USA
Our shade structures are made in Carrollton, Georgia. We have a facility that cuts and welds all the steel needed to make the shade’s frame and a facility that cuts and sews the fabric.
Block UV Rays Protection from the Sun
Our shades protection both people and equipment.
Our shade structures block up to 98% of UV rays that can damage playground equipment and motor vehicles, not to mention your skin. That’s why we put so much work into our products. Whether it’s a custom shade sail or a commercial umbrella, we care about shading our friends, families, and customers from the sun. What’s more, our shade products create spaces where communities can gather and memories can be made.
