Fabrication
All Shade has worked with a variety Structural Fabricators thru out the southern states and we have the experience to tackle any fabrication job large or small. We strive for the best quality steel on the market. All structural steel shall conform to ASTM standards and procedures to ensure quality and safe use.
Powder Coating
All of our Aluminum Frames and Columns are powder coated with a coating based on polyester TGIC, a minimum of 4 mils thick, and cured at 600 degrees Fahrenheit. We also provide epoxy paint systems to any application upon request. All of our steel is chemically washed and sand blasted.
Galvanizing
Hot dipped galvanizing provides protection to the inside and outside of the steel. All steel is dipped in a chemical acid wash then into a tank of molten zinc at 840 degrees Fahrenheit.
Foundations
Footings/Piers sizes are determined by the structure size, column heights, structure location, wind speeds and soil conditions. We are experienced with most all footer detail applications.
Attachments – Roofs & Walls
Various brackets are utilized to attach to buildings roofs and walls. Each type of bracket will depend on the angle of attachment of the fabric membrane. Our engineers will determine the most efficient bracket design.
Types of Steel
The force of wind should not be under estimated! Professional engineering to determine the Tension Load of each column is very important. We have different types of steel, round pipe, square tubing and aluminum. Every application is different and we will always strive for the best aesthetic appeal.
Custom Shade Measurements
It is necessary to procure a site plan as early as possible and would be ideal to have it in hand when you take the site measurements.
Custom Post Construction
Most standard dimension structures are available for both base plate and direct embedment. On sizes greater than 30’ X 40’ more than 4 columns are required, if 4 columns are necessary then columns sizes will increase.
Installations
We have installed hundreds of Shade Structures thru out the United States and Mexico. Our experience speaks for itself and we pride ourselves in providing a fast, clean and efficient installation. Our Account executives are trained in every aspect of the installation. It is our object to provide a quality product with excellent customer service.
On-Site Quote Analysis
All quotes are specific to each geographical location. In addition to the site plan it is helpful to obtain drawings of the buildings and structures to which we are interfacing. This is important, as most municipalities require a 15 – 25 foot set back from property lines for any structure.
