Schools and Playgrounds

For the Coolest Kids in School

Providing a safe and cool place for students to let off steam during recess, participate in physical education classes or after school activities is essential to the overall educational experience. Shade structures help protect students from harmful UV rays and extend the life of play equipment, surfaces and fixtures, saving schools money on maintenance and replacement costs.

From Playset shades and sails to mega span structures capable of covering multiple basketball and tennis courts, we offer many models and sizes to fit your school’s needs and budget.

Our partnerships with many Florida school districts allow us to offer contract pricing to many public, private and charter schools in those districts.

School districts we are working with:
  • Hillsborough County Schools
  • Pasco County Schools
  • Broward County Schools
  • Manatee County Schools
  • Hernando County Schools
  • Lee County Schools
  • Brevard County Schools
  • St. Johns County Schools
  • Volusia County Schools
School districts under contract (available to piggyback from):
  • St. Johns County Schools
  • Volusia County Schools
