Shade Structures in Phoenix

Phoenix’s weather is heavily influenced by the Sonoran Desert, making playground shade structures necessary to protect children, parents, and sporting audiences from the burning Arizona sun. Shade structures come in a diverse range of forms, colors, and styles, and the location and design of the play area will impact what option is best suited to provide the best playground shade.

We can design and install the optimal shade structure for any residential or commercial playground.

Benefits of a playground shade structure

  • In addition to reflecting the sun’s damaging rays, shade structures also significantly reduce the temperatures of outdoor spaces such as playgrounds when installed.

  • Shade structures protect the kids playing on the playground and the playground equipment from the sun’s damaging effects.

  • Sun shades are an essential safety feature for playgrounds, but they can also serve as stunning visual centerpieces that improve the overall aesthetic of the playground.
