A Shadeport™ structure is a gazebo-like, removable structure for shade and UV-ray/inclement weather protection of people and property. A ShadePort™ structure is an expertly designed and engineered steel diagonally crossed space frame with a strong and durable, but easily removable, shade/screen material superimposed over the space frame. The ShadePort™ structure construction and design concept, as well as the material usage, is a time-tested European technology with a track record of over 20 years. It is a very affordable solution to creating: shade; UV sun block protection; showroom and comfort zone conditions. All ShadePort™ structure designs are engineered to meet all building standards, and conform to the SFBC, SBCI, and ASCE 7-95 Codes.

The columns can be secured permanently into concrete footers per blueprint specifications, bolted to an existing concrete slab, or bolted to anchor bolts in newly poured footers. Hoops can also be secured to the wall with brackets.

The columns may be 3” - 8” (depending on size of unit), square or round, and are constructed of galvanized steel. HOOPS The hoops, 2” - 2.5” in diameter, are molded and pre-shaped with a natural galvanized steel finish.

The fabric cover, pre-manufactured with a 1/4” galvanized cable stitched into the seam around the perimeter, is hooked to a restrainer on each corner. It is tensioned and secured with two cable clamps. To remove, simply release the tension by loosening the two bolts on the cable clamps, and unhook the four corners. Pull off the space frame and store away for re-installation at a later date.
