Shade that holds up to Kansas wind
Shade creates places to cool down beside splash pads, playgrounds and ballfields. ATHCO supplies SkyWays shade (tension sails, cantilevers and hip structures) and Coverworx steel and wood shelters, engineered to local wind and snow loads with stamped drawings for your permit.

Where it goes.
Over pool decks and splash pads (High Park, Derby); over playground towers and seating (Rotary Park, Blue Springs); over bleachers at ballfields; over picnic areas and plazas (Kansas City Zoo). SkyWays Rapid Release lets maintenance staff drop the fabric for winter in minutes.
Plan your shade.
The right shade solution depends on your space, coverage needs and installation requirements. Contact ATHCO to compare options and request a project-specific estimate. Shade options are available through the Greenbush contract.
