Providing shade structures is important for your commercial playground equipment that can withstand harsh weather, high winds, and look great too! Consider adding a playground shade to your new or existing playground structure. The modular shade comes in multiple sizes, styles, and colors. Modular playground shades also keep costs low as they often do not require a footing or a permit.

Additionally, shade structures can help extend the life of your commercial playground equipment by preventing premature fading and prolonged exposure to heat from the sun. Plus, they add a stylish and functional element to your outdoor space, making it a more enjoyable place to spend time, and extend recess for children at your facility.
