Custom Shade Structures & Sail Shades
Staying protected just got a whole lot cooler. Come to Hunter Knepshield for the full line of top-quality standard and custom shade structures that can protect nearly any outdoor recreation location. We’re an outdoor recreation manufacturer offering everything from large, cantilever shades to smaller canopy designs. From large areas to small spaces, we have you covered in style.
Hip shades are a classic choice for parks, playgrounds, and outdoor seating areas. With clean lines and a sturdy design, these four-post structures provide broad, reliable coverage while blending seamlessly into almost any environment. They’re ideal for creating large shaded areas that keep visitors cool and comfortable.
Umbrella shades offer a stylish, compact solution for smaller spaces like picnic tables, poolside seating, or playground rest areas. Easy to integrate and available in multiple sizes, these structures deliver dependable shade with a modern look. Their simple design makes them versatile and budget-friendly.
Cantilever shades provide maximum coverage without the interference of central posts, making them perfect for bleachers, walkways, and parking areas. By keeping supports to the side, these structures open up usable space underneath while offering wide shade protection. They combine functionality with a sleek, contemporary profile.
Sail shades bring a unique architectural flair with their tensioned fabric design and creative configurations. Perfect for schools, parks, or community centers, these structures deliver effective sun protection while enhancing the visual appeal of outdoor spaces. They’re customizable in size, shape, and color to fit any setting.
Commercial Shade Structures & Canopies
Because of our commitment to enrich communities and protect people as they play, relax, and live, we offer a wide range of hips, crescents, cantilever shades, sails, and canopies. All of these commercial shades are designed to deliver creative solutions and unique style, while also protecting you from the sun’s harmful UV rays. These structures are gaining popularity to provide shade at the beach, pool, resort, patio, and even over a park bench or playground area.
Come to us for the shade canopy to cover your weekend picnic or the sail shade to protect kids on their outdoor playground. Use a cantilever structure to protect and cool cars from the harsh sunlight, or choose a triangle sail shade for a pool or aquatic center. Our most recent addition is the Portable Retractable Umbrella. This unique umbrella is perfect for outdoor dining or poolside lounging. It’s rated and warranted for use in up to 35 miles per hour wind environments.
