Introduction

Venues for This Shade
Eye-catching and beautiful, the Sail Shade is an enjoyable addition over most structures. Poolside is raised to a new level of attractive, with the splash of color set above. Sculptures and other art pieces are accentuated by the static movement of the shade overhead. Even picnics are enhanced by the additional color. The real draw for this type of shade, is that the tension forms the shape. This fluid formation of the shape gives it a motion all its own. Whether occupants are sitting beneath it or observing it from afar, it begs to be looked at.
Benefits of Using a Shade Over a Playground
Transform a playground into a imagination-igniting design with an Equilateral Sail Shade. A shade simply protects children from the sun's harsh rays, whereas a sail shade sets children on an adventure. Children will feel invited to take part in an adventure beyond the typical day at the park. The free-form color above them begins a series of narratives that only they can finish.
The best part of the shade is that it will protect the invest of whatever sits under it. Whether it is an expensive play set or a small daycare play structure, it will be given protection from UV and rain, to some degree. Picnic tables will sit safely beneath its reach keeping their colors longer. The list goes on as chairs, trash cans, and more will have increased lifetimes due to the shade overhead.
Sealed Engineer Drawings
Some shades may require additional structural information, drawings and specs. Playground Outfitters offers Sealed Engineer Drawings for an added cost from our manufacturer. Shades, as commercial structures, are held to building codes. This makes getting a permit to install one a necessity. For those shades going into areas that are prone to hurricane strength winds, stringent city codes, or heavy snow loads, it is recommended to apply for these Sealed Engineer Drawings for each shade to make for a quick and painless approval process.
Materials
Requiring only three posts, the PTFE fabric is stretched between them creating the three-sided form. Each post is made from powder coat painted steel making it tough. All materials are commercial grade, just like the shade itself. The sturdy construction is what will hold up to outdoor usage in hot, cold, and everything-in-between environment.
Colors
Take the time to figure out the perfect color combination before ordering. Each shade comes in the same great array of powder coat paints and fabrics. Either piece can be as vibrant or neutral as you like. Whichever colors are selected, they will stay longer as all fabrics and powder coat paints are UV stabilized to handle daily sunlight. Just take the time to look over the available colors to create the perfect color fit for your space.
