At American Play Systems, we provide high-quality shading solutions designed for schools, parks, commercial spaces, and recreational areas.
Shades
Our shade structures use top-of-the-line UV-stabilized, high-density polyethylene fabrics that allow heat to dissipate, creating cooler environments while blocking up to 96–97% of harmful UV rays. With a wide range of colors and custom options, our shades combine functionality, comfort, and visual appeal.
Commercial
Our commercial shade solutions feature modern fabric canopies and awnings constructed with UV-stabilized polyethylene over durable steel frames. Perfect for car washes, auto dealerships, break areas, hotels, resorts, and parking lots, these structures provide reliable sun protection while enhancing the look and functionality of your property.
Schools
Protect students and staff with our school-grade shade structures, ideal for playgrounds, daycares, pick-up/drop-off zones, bleachers, and outdoor gathering areas. Designed to block harmful UV rays, our shades create safer, cooler spaces for children to play, learn, and stay active.
Recreational
Our recreational shade structures include fabric canopies and covers for parks, sports courts, dog parks, water parks, and more. Made from UV-stabilized polyethylene that blocks up to 97% of harmful rays, these structures allow year-round outdoor activity while keeping users safe from sun exposure.
