Product Information

Las Vegas Shade Company L.L.C has only the highest quality shade canopies fabricated right here in the United States. Utilizing superior materials along with proven technology, Las Vegas Shade Company L.L.C is able to supply a diversified line of custom and standard shade structures for almost any application. If you're covering a play area in a private backyard, or covering an entire parking lot, we have the solution. Las Vegas Shade Company L.L.C structures are engineered approved to withstand extreme wind loads (rated at 100mph).

There are a variety of roof styles available. Standard heights range from 6' to 10'. Structures taller than 10' are priced upon application. The structures are hot-dip galvanized inside and out. Structures can also be powder coated for an additional cost.

We encourage clients not to compromise their satisfaction by purchasing cheaper "cookie cutter" structures imported from foreign countries.

Steel Structures & Framework

  • Steelwork is "Hot-dip Galvanized" inside and out, unless Powder Coating option is exercised. The components are ventilated during fabrication so that the inside is dipped as well. This provides the Maximum Corrosion Resistance.
  • Engineer designed to meet local building codes.
  • High wind load ratings.
  • Structures either affixed directly to existing concrete slab or bolted to reinforced concrete footings.
  • With cable tension design, vast amounts of space can be protected with a minimum of upright columns.
  • Enjoy the convenience of a portable structure (they can be dismantled in less than an hour) with the stability and endurance of a permanent fixture!
