Our tension fabric shade structures lower ambient air temperature up to 20 degrees. They create continuous air flow because hot air escapes through the fabric top, so anyone under them stays cooler and more comfortable. They’re also a great way to reduce glare and they shed most rain water. There’s nothing to maintain because they won’t rust, rot or mildew. Tension fabric shade structures are particularly effective for play areas, where children may come in contact with super hot surfaces or be exposed to UV light radiation. They are a popular and cost-effective cover for areas such as patios, bleachers, parking lots, pools, sport courts, and waiting/work/display areas. Our tension fabric shade structures are built for high strength and durability. They endure 80+ MPH winds and support fans, misters, lighting & sound systems, and other appliances, which enhance an area’s utility or comfort. All fabrics are warranted for ten years.
“From this experience (2004 Hurricane Frances), I am convinced fabric structures are a great idea. Not only are they economical to have designed and installed, they are able to withstand weather that will damage other types of permanent structures.”
