School Shade Structures

Shade for schools

Our premier school shade products may be used in many areas throughout the school campus. Shade structures to cover playground equipment are a vital application, offering UV protection to children from harsh UV rays of the sun.

With the increase of skin cancer (The Skin Cancer Foundation) it has become more important now for school authorities to provide UV protection in outdoor spaces in schools. Additionally, the shade for playground provides a cool ambient temperature allowing children to play longer through the summer months while keeping playground equipment cooler.

Shade for pick-up areas give protection to children as they wait to be collected from school. Our cantilever-full shade structures are excellent for this purpose. Shade for lunch break areas, shade for outdoor classrooms and shade over benches and other outdoor recreational areas using shade structures made with UV stabilized polyethylene are becoming increasingly popular in most school campuses today.
