Functionality:
All Shade Structures are designed to be reliable, wrinkle-free, and modular. Known best for providing shade at outdoor events, Shade Structures also make a great addition to nighttime events with lighting and projection. The modular design also makes it easy to enlarge your existing structure by adding additional shade sails. Whether you’re planning to use your structure for one event, for a series of similar events, or for a variety of different events, our Relationship Managers can help ensure you find the solution you need.
Rigging:
This structure utilizes a truss tower system, connecting the shade sails using wire cables, industrial-strength rigging materials, and custom truss top plates. More common with triangle sails and unique shapes, the tower systems create a more radial structure with a central truss tower and additional towers surrounding it. Although these systems have a larger footprint and more industrial rigging, truss towers can minimize the amount of truss required and can be used in conjunction with other existing structures.

Fabric:
Shade sails are made with Outdoor Stretch Fabric. This new fabric uses proprietary weaving technology that allows the fabric to stretch and is made from 100% Polyester with 0% Spandex. Spandex omission allows for increased UV resistance and gives the fabric a stopping point in the stretch (unlike normal stretch fabric that keeps stretching). The result is majestic and stable installations that have enhanced wind resistance
Maintenance:
If your stretch fabric gets dirty, cleaning is easy! Toss it in the washer for cleaning and dry at medium or low heat. Detergents with non-bleach whitener such as OxiClean® are recommended for the Bright White fabric. Your Outdoor Stretch Fabric will come out looking new again, without breaking down the integrity of the fabric or it’s flame retardant coating.
Inclusions:
Includes handling gloves, 36 Triangle Shade Sails, and all-inclusive rigging kit
