Explore our playground shelters.
Pyramid
Pyramid playground shelters have four posts and a square, peaked roofline, allowing them to cover large play structures. This shade option is best for areas needing extensive coverage.
Single-Post Pyramid
The single-post pyramid provides ample shade with a small, unobtrusive footprint, ideal for covering tables and benches. These structures have a single column in the middle and a shade spanning up to 260 square feet.
Mariner Pyramid
Mariner pyramid outdoor playground shelters resemble pyramid shades but have overlapping fabric. The crisscross look makes the structure aesthetically appealing while providing the same amount of shade as pyramid and hip structures. Mariner pyramid shades are ideal for seating areas, picnic shelters and large play structures.
Hip
Hip shade structures are one of the most common options for covering large playground equipment. These structures have four posts and clean, straight lines.
Hip Joined
A hip joined playground shade puts two hip structures together for the most extensive coverage. The two shades share the middle posts to reduce the number of columns.
Two-Post Hip
These have two posts and a hip-style shade structure, providing up to 308 square feet of shade. This design option is the most cost-effective for providing maximum shade at a competitive value.
Benefits of Playground Shelters
Playground shade amenities from Playworld Preferred benefit your playground in various ways. These shade structures:
- Block UV rays: The material on our shade structures blocks up to 96% of the sun’s potentially harmful UV rays. This coverage helps protect kids from sun poisoning, heat stroke and sunburns.
- Reduce temperatures: Shade shelters keep the playground up to 20 degrees cooler throughout the year, so kids can enjoy longer periods of outdoor play with a reduced chance of overheating.
- Improve inclusivity: Playground shade structures make your playground more inclusive. Some children and adults can’t spend much time in the sun due to sun allergies, susceptibility to sun poisoning and overheating, and side effects of medications. Shades allow visitors with these conditions to enjoy the playground.
