How to get shades installed for your organization

• Take accurate measurements of the area you need shaded
• If the shade unit is to be installed over existing play equipment, keep in mind that you need to keep 72" clear on all sides of the play units and 84" clear directly above the highest place on the equipment where kids are supposed to stand. (For structures with platforms, it's usually the platforms themselves. For swing sets, it's the horizontal swing beam that the swings are attached to.)
• Call us at (301) 840-0707 to discuss what kind of shades are needed for your site
• We visit your site in person and provide a quote
• Once we come to an agreement on a quote and the work to be done, our team begins the process of installing the shade. A typical shade unit takes 3 days to install: 1 day to dig the holes, put the posts in the ground, and pour the concrete; 1 day to let the concrete cure; and 1 day to come back and attach the canopy.
