Playground Shades Construction Video

The video below shows our company’s shade installation crew in action, installing a 4-post rectangular shade and a single-post cantilever model at a school. As you’ll see, installing a playground shade requires coordinated planning and some hardware to put the vertical posts in the ground, secure them with concrete, and attach the canopies. It’s not rocket science, nor is it highly specialized work, but selecting an installer with construction experience and an eye for detail will go far towards ensuring a successful project.

Square and Rectangular Playground Shades

Square and rectangular shades are the most popular models that we sell. That’s because they cast long shadows but don’t present (too) many obstacles for children using the playground, unlike a hexagon or octagon model. Our shades and rectangles are available in any height you need, starting at 8 feet above ground level. This 8-foot height is also our most popular height, but if you’re putting a shade structure over existing play equipment, you may need a higher height. The safety rule is, the canopy above the play structure must be at least 72″ above the tallest designated play surface (for a play structure with multiple platforms, you’d measure 72″ above the highest platform that kids are supposed to stand on).

Hexagon and Octagon Shades

Hexagon and octagon shades are more commonly used for picnic areas and seating locations, but they also add a great visual look to any playground. Heights start at 8′ above ground level.

Sail-Design Playground Shades

Our sail shades are available in dozens of configurations, involving multiple sails, heights, and vertical posts. They’re best used on play areas where you don’t need complete shade coverage; by virtue of their design, some sun will get through the openings between the canopies. They also tend to be more expensive than traditional square and rectangle models. Please phone us toll free today for more information on these shades.

Umbrella-Design Playground Shades

Our umbrella shades are great for small areas that you want to cover … although our umbrellas can get mighty big, depending on your needs. Our larger umbrella shades have 2 mounting options: permanent, in-ground mount (dig a hole and secure the post with concrete) or “portable” mount (create a small concrete platform and bolt the base of the vertical post to it). Our smaller shades are available with just a weighted base-plate that rests on the ground and is held in place merely by the force of gravity. For more information on these shades, just phone us toll free.
