FAQ

Are sun shade structures available for residential or commercial property owners?

Both! These commercial shade structures provide comfort for homeowners and businesses alike. Homeowners frequently set them up over their patios or in their gardens for when they’re relaxing outdoors. Pets also enjoy having access to a sun shade shelter on hot summer days. Of course, commercial property owners also set up these structures for their employees and clientele. Don’t forget that a tall, unique-looking structure is also very visible from the street and can help draw customers to your business!
