Custom shade sails over playground equipment cut surface temps by up to 30°F and block 95% UV — protecting kids from burns and extending the life of plastic and rubber play surfaces. We design, engineer, fabricate and install playground shade for schools, daycares, parks and HOAs across Texas.

Tensioned shade sails over swings, slides and climber structures — sized to your existing equipment and rated for Texas wind. Posts set in engineered concrete footings, stainless cable hardware and quick-release options for storm prep.
Uncovered playground surfaces in Texas summer routinely measure 140°F+ — hot enough to burn skin in seconds. A properly tensioned UV sail drops surface temp by 25–30°F and blocks 95% of UV, which is the difference between a usable playground in July and a closed one.
Custom-sewn Serge Ferrari® padded covers for rope-climber anchors, web-structure hardware and impact zones. Wipe-clean coated fabric in school colors that holds up to daily use, mulch and Texas weather.
We work with ISDs, charter schools, daycare operators, HOA boards and city park departments across Texas. PO-ready quotes, engineered designs, scheduled installs that work around your operating hours.
Stainless tension hardware, welded steel posts powder-coated for UV durability — the same hardware used in our commercial sail-shade work.
Most playground sail-shade projects in Texas run $8,000–$35,000 installed depending on size, post engineering and fabric. Send equipment dimensions and a site photo for a free written quote.
Yes — every post and bracket assembly is engineered to the local wind load of the install site, with welded steel posts and stainless cable hardware. Quick-release options are available for storm prep.
Independent testing on coated UV mesh shows a 25–30°F drop in surface temperature on rubber and plastic play surfaces under shade — the difference between a 140°F slide and a usable one in July.
Yes — Serge Ferrari® and Phifertex® shade fabrics come in a wide range of stock colors, including most common school and brand palettes.

Nobody else builds lighting packages for shade sails and tension structures the way we do. Cool-running, low-voltage lighting designed around the structure — never attached to moving fabric — so your canopy becomes a landmark after dark.
Pick the look you want from the ideas below, and we engineer and fabricate the complete package — mounting hardware, fixtures, wiring, and controls — to make it happen on your structure.
Slim, low-voltage LED fixtures mounted to structural poles and aimed downward for even, usable light.
A halo-style LED ring around the mast or hub area that makes the structure itself the centerpiece at night.
Recessed or landscape fixtures around the perimeter wash light upward onto the canopy from below.
Discreet low-voltage LED integrated into a fixed edge detail, clamp-on extrusion, or rigid mounting point at the perimeter.
Small, adjustable spot or grazing lights mounted to poles to highlight the structure, landscape, or surrounding space.
Awnings, covers, curtains, sail shades, aluminum welding & custom fabrication — designed, built, and installed across Central Texas, South Texas, and the Gulf Coast.
