Shades & Shelters
A great outdoor space doesn't stop at the equipment. Shade structures and shelters extend the usability of your playground or park, protect kids and families from the sun's harmful UV rays, and create gathering spaces that communities return to again and again. More and more, shade protection is becoming a top priority in play environment design -- and webuildfun has solutions to match. From standard to custom, we can create the perfect shade solution for your site and your budget.

Commercial fabric shade structures shield everyone from the harmful effects of UV rays while keeping play areas cooler and more comfortable throughout the day. They can also help prevent heat exhaustion and other sun-related conditions, making them an important safety consideration for any high-use outdoor environment. Whether you need a large canopy covering a significant portion of your playground or a smaller shade option that integrates directly with your play system, we have design solutions that fit most project criteria.
USA Shade is one of North America's leading manufacturers of commercial fabric shade structures, offering pre-designed and fully custom solutions for playgrounds, parks, pool decks, sports courts, and more. Every structure is engineered for durability, UV protection, and long-term performance, with turnkey service from design through installation.

steel shelters & pavilions
Pavilions have long been a cornerstone of park and playground design, and remain a favorite among landscape architects and recreation planners for the functional and aesthetic value they bring to outdoor spaces. Today's park shelters serve as picnic areas, outdoor meeting spaces, sports court covers, event venues, and community gathering points, permanent structures that give a park its identity and keep people coming back. We offer a full line of steel shelters and pavilions across various sizes, styles, and roof profiles, through two best-in-class manufacturers serving our markets.
Founded in Holland, Michigan, Icon Shelter Systems designs and manufactures custom and standard steel-framed shelters for parks, playgrounds, and public spaces. Their line spans classic hexagons, octagons, and pavilions to fully custom architectural structures, amphitheaters, bandshells, and walkway covers. Known for blending shade and art into iconic structures built to stand the test of time.
