Please describe the project specifications

Four freestanding cantilevered Convex style fabric canopies fabricated and installed at a country club pool area. One freestanding structure is 30’ wide x 10’ projection installed on 4 rear 6” steel posts. Three freestanding structures each measuring 12’ wide x 10’ projection and installed on 2 rear 6” steel posts. The fabric is Ferrari Soltis Olive color and the posts are painted Coastal Beige.


What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

The country club owners wanted to provide permanent shade structures for their members and guests in the pool area instead of using stand up umbrellas. They were also updating the pool furniture to coordinate with the shade structure design and colors.


What is unique or complex about the project?

These cantilever free standing shade structures are unique in the pool deck setting offering permanent comfort and personal protection from the sun’s harsh rays.


What were the results of the project?

The freestanding canopies provide shade in style for the pool deck seating area. They add aesthetically to the overall pool appearance instead of individual umbrellas which did not provide as much sun protection.
