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.
