Kite Hip Sail Shades - Commercial Shade Structures

The Kite Hip Sail Shade is a stylish blend of dome-style strength and sail-style elegance, making it one of the most flexible shade solutions on the market. Designed with a four-post frame—where one post is taller than the others—this shade creates a striking hyperbolic canopy shape that not only looks beautiful but also maximizes shade coverage throughout the day.

Perfect for pools, splash pads, playgrounds, and outdoor dining areas, the Kite Hip Sail offers reliable sun protection while enhancing the visual appeal of your space. Its unique design casts shifting patterns of shade as the sun moves, keeping areas cooler and more comfortable for longer periods.

Choose from standard sizes ranging from 10′ to 25′, with entry heights of 8′, 10′, or 12′ (custom options available up to 20′). Mounting options include both surface and in-ground installation, and you can customize the look with a wide range of fabric and frame color choices. For added convenience, the optional Glide Elbow™ system allows for easy fabric removal ahead of storms or high winds.

Backed by a 20-year warranty on the steel framework and a 10-year warranty on the fabric, the Kite Hip Sail Shade combines architectural design with dependable performance.
