When selecting shade structures for a school, it's essential to consider safety, durability, and the specific needs of the school community. Additionally, ensure that the design and placement of shade structures align with the school's architectural style and overall aesthetic. Superior Shade also has several shade styles that have undergone California's DSA pre-check approval. These shade options have been certified by the California Division of the State Architect (DSA) to make the installation process easier for our customers.
