Cantilever shade canopy structures have horizontal beams that extend beyond vertical columns. Cars, trucks, forklifts, and other vehicles are less likely to hit them. They also present fewer visual obstructions to spectators, workers, pedestrians, and drivers.
They are the ideal way to create car parking shade and bleacher shade. Commercial and industrial owners also prefer them for outdoor manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, and staging operations.

This fabric shade canopy projects out 14′ from its columns and is 60′ long. The cantilevered beams make it unnecessary for columns on this shade structure to interfere with anything on the pool deck. The structure shades pool lounge chairs, which aren’t shown. The photo was taken at 6:30 PM in July, so shadows aren’t on the pool deck.
