How Sun Shades Benefit You in Different Seasons
With the dawn of February, the United States is steadily emerging from the winter season, and people across the nation are eagerly anticipating the warmer months ahead. As we prepare to shed our winter coats, we start thinking about the fun outdoor activities planned for this year—everything from long hours at the community park to summer barbecues in the backyard. Now is the perfect time to consider special installations for your property this year. Summer is quite a few months down the road, so many landowners are thinking about heat waves and humidity—and how to provide relief for themselves, to family members, to clients, to visitors. On this front, there is no better alternative than PalmSHADE’s shade structures.
Available in numerous styles, our shades are custom-designed and fabricated to fit the individual customer’s installation site. What’s more, our team uses sophisticated powder-coating technology that allows us to color your shades to match the surrounding aesthetics. These fixtures are fabricated for superior rust resistance and longevity, made to last and last; your sun shade will comfort you and your guests for many summers to come. Not to mention through the remaining three seasons of the year.
Although frequently installed with summer use in mind, PalmSHADE’s professionally fabricated structures benefit clients year-round. In this article, we’ll explore just a few of the ways you can enjoy relief from these structures through the changing seasons.

Sun Shades in Spring
Generally speaking, in most parts of the country, springtime means cooler temperatures; overbearing heat and excessive humidity typically aren’t concerns this early into the year. That said, the sun is already out, and everyone’s already taking advantage of the nice weather. Don’t neglect sunscreen on long days outdoors, and don’t discredit the benefits provided by shade. Having access to a professionally crafted sun shade allows you to retreat beneath an overhead canopy, remove your sunglasses, and relax between fun time sessions.
Think, also, how convenient these fixtures and their roofs become when, all of a sudden, it rains. (Those proverbial April showers!) PalmSHADE’s structures are ideal for bus stops, train stations, and cab stands because they shelter passengers as they await transportation. No one wants to be caught in the rain—for minutes or hours on end—waiting for their ride.
Sun Shades in Summer
Of course, summer is the season when shade is needed the most. The blistering heat, the uptick in humidity, the reduction in airflow, the intense sun rays—all this adds up and can lead to potential discomfort and even health hazards such as sunburns and dehydration. At this point, customers at public transport depots desperately need an overhead structure to keep the sun off their skin. The same is true of families visiting playgrounds. Parents spend many hours watching kids play, and enjoy the comfort of keeping an eye from a shaded vantage point.
On the subject of playgrounds, shade structures can help protect kids, too. Shade helps keep the heat-absorbent play equipment cooler to the touch—thus reducing the risk of accidental burns during playtime. Consider, also, that kids need the occasional respite from the summer heat: a cool place to retreat, drink some water, and rest before rushing out to resume playtime with their friends. Having a shade structure over your playground equipment and an independent fixture nearby for resting greatly increases playground safety during the summer.
Sun Shades in Fall
Although temperatures drop in autumn, most areas of the country still experience rain, and an overhead structure in your backyard or community remains appreciated. On top of that, sun shades—combined with the many colors associated with fall—attract passersby. People will enjoy visiting your park, community playground, etc., taking a rest beneath the canopy, and soaking in the calming atmosphere of autumn.
Sun Shades in Winter
Just as the overhead canopies of PalmSHADE’s shade structures provide protection from rain and the sun, so do they shelter users from snowfall. Some of our products—such as the Surya design—feature enclosed walls, which offer additional protection from harsh winter winds. Having a shade structure in your backyard, for instance, allows you to spend more time outside even in chilly, snowy weather. Just be mindful of icicles forming along the edges of your structure’s roof.
