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.

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.

Requiring only three posts and 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.

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.
