It’s Not Always About Shade

We harp on providing shade a lot. I mean, we manufacture “shade” sails. But sometimes form takes priority over function. Take the job pictured below for example. This client really did not need any shade. There primary interest in putting up a shade sail was for looks. They wanted to drive traffic off the street with the visual interest of their storefront. Since the front of their building was cinderblock, the doorway got kind of lost in the flatness. They added this simple shade sail to the front and it gave them increased depth and angles to their entryway. Oh, and by the way, it also shade the doorway pretty well too.
