SHADE INDUSTRIES

Our Estimators and Designers meet with clients to discuss project requirements and design ideas. We then use 3D models to assist with design and convey our ideas to our clients. In almost every case, we fabricate our own steel and specify the sewing of our shade cloth. Our typical shade fabric is a 10 ounce High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) warrantied for 10 years against sun degradation, but we also offer 12 ounce fabrics that are warrantied for 15 years against sun degradation. We only use Tenara thread, which is the standard to which all other PTFE threads are compared. Tenara thread is warrantied for the lifetime of the fabric against sun degradation. Our seams are double lock-stitched and our edge pockets are triple lock-stitched. We are not aware of any instance in which one of our seams has ripped since switching to Tenara in 2005. We use stainless steel cable and stainless steel thimble D-rings to help prevent cable fatigue. On most all public projects, we install backup cables..
