Sun shade materials are woven with an exceptionally tight weave that offers solar protection from harmful UV rays.

What is the best material for a sun shade?

Your high-end marine vessel deserves only the best sun shade material. While acrylic is the most popular choice amongst mariners, vinyl offers a higher quality, particularly when it comes to lighter shades. Vinyl is naturally water-repellant and is easier to clean than fabrics like acrylic.

What fabric is used for shade?

Shade cloth is usually made of loosely woven polyester or even aluminium and can be found in varying densities or degrees of shade from approximately 5% to 95% to 100%. All shade cloth is NOT water permeable.

Commercial & Residential Fabric Shade Structures

 Designing–Manufacturing–Build Contractor

We provide organizations with the single-source solution for tension fabric shade structures: custom design, engineering, manufacturing, & construction.

Tension fabric structures are beautiful with advantages over conventional sun canopies, awnings & tents. 

They’re ideal for patios, parking lots, pools, playgrounds, walkways, building entrances, waiting areas, car washes, bleachers, sport play areas, etc.

Fabric Architecture

Unlike other building materials, fabric sun cover structures cool by creating air movement.  Hot air rises between the knitted High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) yarns without getting trapped inside.  This air convection enables inside temperature to drop up to 20 degrees!

They provide permanent sun protection for people, inventory, and equipment.  The fabrics are also water-resistant.  Over 90% of rain sheds during intense storms.  Given proper pitch, no mist passes between yarns during downpours.

We engineer structures to local building code using stringent fabric shade structure design specifications.

Product and construction costs are minimized because structures are prefabricated, powder coated, & sewn in our manufacturing plants specialized in fabric sun cover structures.  There’s no field welding, painting, or sewing.

That’s why the installed price of fabric sun cover structures is less than alternative building materials of comparable size and quality.
