Shade Structures and Playground Shades Hexagon and Octagon Designs

These shade structures are perfect for your playground and other outdoor use areas.  These sun shades protect your children's health from the damage caused by overexposure to the sun's rays, and they provide areas of cool shade. Use these sturdy shade structures to keep your little ones cool and shade them from the sun. These shades are designed to industrial strength and engineered to withstand winds of 80 mph with fabric installed (the steel structure alone is rated to withstand 150 mph winds). They also offer an easy quick release system for removing the fabric for winter storage. With the sun growing stronger year-round, consider one of these professional shade structures for your protection needs.


The hexagon and octagon playground shades are available in 6- and 8-sided models with posts at the corners. The number of posts helps make these shade structures even more resistant to wind than other models.
