Shading is vital for extending the full use of exterior spaces. Sun and rain protection or privacy screening are key components of exterior design. A well designed shade can be a focal point or a discrete element within a space.
Achieving the most suitable shade is where our experience and our products excel. From concept through to installation, we develop projects tailored for each location.
Most shade manufacturers recommend closing parasols and sails when wind speed exceed + - 25 MPH.
The Beaufort Scale:
19 - 24 MPH = Force 5
[small trees begin to sway]
25 - 31 MPH = Force 6
[large branches in motion, whistling heard in overhead wires, umbrella use is difficult]
