— Who It’s For
Is Shade Structures Right For Your Site?
Shade sails and structures suit schools, childcare services, public parks and backyards. They can be added to an existing playground as a shade upgrade or designed into a new one.
Position matters as much as size, which is why every job starts with where the sun actually falls on the play area through the day.
