The HDPE fabric is manufactured from virgin raw materials only, with UV stabilizers and hindered amine light stabilizers for an 8-year UV stability guarantee. Depending on color, the shade fabric delivers 70 to 90 percent shade coverage and 83 to 94 percent UV protection. The standard installation height is 8 feet at the perimeter posts (10-foot posts set 2 feet in the ground) and 10 feet at the center. This structure is built for permanent outdoor installation at schools, parks, and recreational facilities where a shaded gathering area is needed without a permanent roof structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e - 12x20, 18x20, or 20x24 ft to cover a picnic area, playground zone, or outdoor classroom space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e70–90% shade coverage by color\u003c\/strong\u003e - Royal Blue provides 90% shade; Grass Green and Sunflower Yellow at 70%; Red at 84%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e83–94% UV protection\u003c\/strong\u003e - HDPE fabric with Chimasorb 944 hindered amine stabilizers and carbon black pigment for maximum UV resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-year UV stability guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e - on the HDPE fabric, based on manufacturer testing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGalvanized 3-inch OD steel posts\u003c\/strong\u003e - Grade 300 WA cold-formed welded steel, hot-dip galvanized to 55 microns minimum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard 8 ft perimeter \/ 10 ft center height\u003c\/strong\u003e - 10-foot posts set 2 feet in the ground; center post at 10 ft for drainage pitch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchools and playgrounds\u003c\/strong\u003e - a shaded outdoor classroom, lunch area, or play zone that reduces heat and UV exposure for children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParks and recreation centers\u003c\/strong\u003e - a permanent covered gathering space without the cost of a full roofed structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFacility buyers\u003c\/strong\u003e - three sizes with documented UV and shade performance specs for site planning and procurement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUse Cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchool playground shade areas, outdoor classroom and lunch zones, community park picnic areas, recreation center outdoor spaces, and any public gathering area that needs UV protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of SportsPlay Equipment's site amenities line, position the shade structure over SportsPlay picnic tables and benches for a complete shaded outdoor seating area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SportsPlay Equipment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50231282630933,"sku":"SPO-SHADE-STRUCTURE","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/4583\/1189\/files\/SPO-SHADE-STRUCTURE.jpg?v=1793639039","url":"https:\/\/especialneeds.com\/products\/sportsplay-stand-alone-shade-structure","provider":"eSpecial Needs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
