SportsPlay's Stand Alone Shade Structure is a low maintenance solution to providing overhead shade. Ideal for using over playground equipment or as a shelter from the sun, the shade keeps playground equipment cool and blocks UV rays. It can be used over a variety of areas, including bleachers and picnic areas. The UV stabilized shade structure is made with knitted fabric and high density polyethylene, and it is lock-stitched. The shade will not fade, mold, or rot. It blocks up to 95% of UV rays. The posts are made with galvanized steel, which resists corrosion.
The Stand Alone Shade Structure is available in three different sizes: 12' x 20', 18' x 20', and 20' x 24'. Choose from Red, Green, Blue or Yellow in each size. The Shadenet Canopy, cable, and hardware needed are all included. The concrete required for the project needs to be sourced locally by the contractor. Use normal post pre-mix bagged concrete, available from building material outlets.
