Throwing Shade Since 2022

Custom Shade Structures

Our custom shade structures are designed for projects that need unique sizes, layouts, or specific functionality. Many features from our standard structures are included, providing proven performance while keeping development costs reasonable.

We work closely with clients on concept planning, material selection, budgets, and code compliance to ensure each project runs smoothly. Engineering support for permits, third-party review, foundation design, and installation guidance is available as needed.

All custom structures are designed and manufactured in-house at our Missouri facility. This allows us to maintain quality, adjust features to your requirements, and deliver projects on schedule. From playgrounds and aquatic centers to commercial and residential spaces, our structures are durable, visually appealing, and built for long-term performance.
