What a difference that a shade sail structure makes on a courtyard patio and walkway!

It's unfortuate when a classy community underutilizes its town square because it's too hot!  You can pay a band to stand  in the sun, but will the audience stick around and dance? 

We worked with the mayor, Planning Deparment  and merchants in Vacaville, CA to design a shade sail structure to increase the appeal of their town square.  The challenge was to make this gathering place and pedestrian walkway more inviting by increasing shade with an aesthetically-pleasing and unique design. 

As you can see, we used precast stone columns to match others already in the town square.  Powder coated steel columns behind the stage also supported the (4) cable-tensioned fabrics.   

It's fun seeing people enjoying the shade!
