City of Daytona Beach gets new Tornadoes^®!

Shade Systems™ is proud to have provided its stunning Tornado® shades for the bench seating along the new Halifax Greenway in Daytona Beach, Florida.  And when the sun goes down, dramatic colored lighting bathes the Tornadoes in varying hues to give the Greenway a night time appeal for pedestrians.

City staff has been ecstatic about the new Tornado® shades.  “The new shade structures instantly add functionality and visual interest to our downtown area.  Their aesthetics complement our trendy, yet historic, riverfront and add an important shade element to a wide-open stretch of our popular multi-use trail,” said Susan Cerbone, Communications Manager for the City of Daytona Beach.

The Tornado is one of Shade Systems’s most imaginative shade structures with sculpture-like appeal across a broad spectrum of environments where shade is needed but in an aesthetically-appealing style.   Gracefully arching steel piping arms radiate outward from a curved central support column to create a 5-point tensioned shade canopy which makes a bold architectural statement about its determination to shade stylishly. 

Of course, the Tornado features our remarkable CoolNet™ shade fabric in a variety of colors for maximum air cooling and protection from up to 99% of the sun’s dangerous U.V. rays. Plus, removal and re-attachment of the canopy is a breeze with our simple stainless steel fastening features built right in!
