The Rising Need for Shade.

Summer is hotter— and it’s lasting longer.

Since 1970, summers have warmed in 97% of the 242 U.S. cities analyzed by Climate Central, a policy-neutral organization that studies how excessive heat is impacting people’s lives. In fact, one in every five cities now experiences at least an additional month of hotter-than-normal summer days.

Heat islands can exacerbate the issue. They exist due to heat-absorbing materials like asphalt and concrete, which can raise city temperatures by up to 7°F compared to nearby rural areas.

As communities seek ways to combat the growing frequency of extremely hot days, shade solutions rise to the top. People naturally gravitate toward shaded areas, making them more usable for longer periods of time throughout the year. That can lead to increased neighborhood safety, support for local economies and enhanced community engagement. 

Trust proven protection paired with endless variety.

The industry-leading shade products from SkyWays® by Landscape Structures are known worldwide for standing up to the demands of both heat and sun, shielding people from UV rays and keeping environments as much as 30 degrees cooler.

Available in limitless shapes and sizes, you can select from a multitude of pre-engineered solutions or set your sights on fully custom creations. As an AISC Certified Fabricator, you can count on SkyWays to lead the way in both creativity and engineering, always delivering the highest in quality and durability.

As the need for shade grows, you’ll find it can—and should—go everywhere people gather: parks, playgrounds, aquatic play spaces, ballfields, sport courts, picnic areas, dog parks, outdoor music venues, zoos (for people and animals), common walkways, parking lots and so much more. You can even use shade to unite elements within your park or activity area, like playstructures and splash pads.
