Shade Systems™

Commercial Shade Structures

Parkreation is proud to exlclusively represent Shade Systems™ the highest quality commercial outdoor fabric shade structures, canopies, umbrellas, and awning covers in Illinois and Indiana.

Everyone gets excited for summer days at the pool or playground after a long Illinois or Indiana winter. However, it is easy to forget about the sunburns and heat waves that often come included! Parkreation, Inc. and Shade Systems want to help you cover your outdoor recreation area for comfortable days outside..

Shade Systems fabric shade canopies and umbrellas are beautiful, affordable, and commercial grade. The CoolNet™ fabric screens up to 99% of U.V. (Ultra Violet) rays while still allowing the fabric to breathe. This makes your shaded area more comfortable and avoids the stuffy heat that gets trapped under other outdoor canopy solutions.

Even better, the Turn-N-Slide™ easy fastening system makes putting up and taking down your shade fabric an absolute breeze! Rather than using a single length cable around the structure’s perimeter, each side of a Shade Systems structure has an independent cable that’s pre-cut and looped at the factory. For outdoor recreation areas in the Midwest, this feature is critical and will save your maintenance team time and stress.

Shade Systems has solutions for outdoor areas of all scales, from small private daycares to large commercial housing developments. Our customers include public and private schools, hotels and restaurants, park districts and homeowners associations. We have shade solutions for them all!

Our Single Post and Double Post shades are the most popular for outdoor pools and aquatic centers because of their small footprint. The Cantilever shades are an ideal solution for athletic fields and baseball dugouts. Also, our Sail shades provide a dramatic and unique look to outdoor dining and seating areas. We can also manufacture custom shade solutions if you have a unique idea or outdoor area to cover.
