Umbrellas for restaurants, pools, parks, schools and businesses.  These come in a range of sizes and features.  All of them come with PVC fabric in white.  Other colors are available.  The frame can be made of powder coated aluminum or painted steel.  The architectural umbrellas are fixed (not retractable) and are rated to 110 mph.  The retractable Skybrellas are rated to 35 mph.

Standard Shade Structures are available in a variety of styles and sizes.  We have the Hypar, the Saddle Back, the Raised Center Structure with Triangle Shade Sails, and the Raised Center Structure with Overlapping Sails.  They are designed to cover areas from 20’ x 20’ to areas as large as 40’ x 40’.  Since these are standard kits, they don’t require extensive design or engineering effort and they are quite cost effective.  Follow this link to get more info:  Standard Shade Structures

 

Custom Shade Structures are the most exciting applications.  This is where you can use your imagination to create function and style for your specific place of business.  They can be free standing or attached to your building, they can be small or large, they can be colorful or subtle, they can be tall or they can be low to the ground.  SKYShades is staffed with designers and engineers who have the skills and talents to create award winning custom shade structures.  The photos on this website represent only a small sample of the custom structures SKYShades has designed and installed in the past few years.  Contact SKYShades of Michigan to get additional information or to schedule a free consultation.

 

Shade Structures for Parking Lots are appreciated by everyone!  Let’s face it, cars are more than transportation for most people.  They are a reflection on who we are, and they represent a substantial investment for each one of us.  As a result we want to take care of them.  Parking lot shade structures help keep cars dry and cool in the summer and free of snow and frost in the winter.  Attention business owners: When given the option to park in a covered spot or one out in the open, nearly everyone will select the covered spot.  In fact, many people will drive further distances to shop at businesses that provide covered parking.  SKYShades of Michigan can offer a variety of attractive parking lot shade structures.

 

Integrated Roofing Systems with PTFE (Teflon) material offers the architect many exciting options that cannot be done with solid roof construction.  Fabric can be used to create new shapes and lighting options.  The walls used to support the light weight roof can be reduced in size (and cost!) and create an attractive delicate structure.  During the daytime the translucent properties of the PTFE can allow soft lighting ambiance while saving electricity.  Have you seen the Denver airport?  That architecture is only possible with PTFE materials which have a 30 to 40 year life!
