Customer Focus: Miami-Dade County continues to specify Shade Systems™ shade canopies and covers for its public parks
Dozens of Shade Systems shade structures have been installed throughout the Miami-Dade park system over the past several years
Miami-Dade County operates one of the largest park systems in the country, and their Parks Department staff has an ongoing program of providing shade covers in public areas to reduce the occurrence of dangerous sun exposure for its residents. As the inability to quickly remove and re-install other shade manufacturers’ canopies had been a concern to the County, the landscape architect staff at Miami-Dade County cited Shade Systems’ innovative easy fastening system, the Turn-N-SlideTM as one of their primary reasons for choosing to specify Shade Systems time and again. Miami-Dade County has been specifying Shade Systems for years, with dozens of shade structures installed during that time. The above pictures are just a sample selection.
In designing its products, Shade Systems has answered the need for quick removal of the fabric canopy when needed. The patented Turn-N-SlideTM is a revolutionary fastening system which comes standard on all frame-supported Shade Systems awning and tent products, and makes removing and re-attaching the CoolNet™ fabric canopy a breeze! See the video for a demonstration of how it works.
Look at the photo to the right to see how heavy-duty Shade Systems frames and connections are. Compare to other shade companies’ products on the market which do not match our level of quality and strength. Shade Systems Mega Span frames are constructed of heavy structural steel (not the round tubing you see from others) and minimum 6″ I.D. schedule 40 steel columns. Compare to the competition and decide for yourself as the technical staff at Miami-Dade County has which will survive through storms and winter weather.
All metal surfaces have a U.V. stabilized polyester powder-coat finish, available in a variety of durable colors.
Canopies are manufactured from our CoolNet™ shade fabric for maximum Ultra Violet (U.V.) protection and cooling effect, and featuring a non-prorated 10-year limited warranty.
