About Us

Innovating Shade Solutions Since 2020
At Shade Sail Structure Inc., we believe that great ideas can come from anywhere—even a coffee-stained napkin. Our journey began over a decade ago with a simple sketch and a vision to revolutionize outdoor comfort. Today, we’re proud to be at the forefront of innovative shade solutions, bringing cool comfort to communities across Central Virginia and beyond.

Our Story: From Napkin to Patent
It all started with a lightbulb moment scribbled on a napkin over coffee. For years, this idea simmered in the background, waiting for its moment to shine. In 2020, that moment arrived when a local assisted living facility approached us with a unique challenge: they needed a shade sail that could “move with the sun.”
This request ignited our passion for innovation. We dove headfirst into months of rigorous design and development, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in shade technology. Our hard work and creativity paid off when we were awarded a patent for our groundbreaking “Shade Sail Structure Inc.” and our company was born—a testament to our commitment to excellence and innovation in the industry.

Craftsmanship Meets Community
At Shade Sail Structure Inc., we’re more than just a company—we’re a part of the Lynchburg, Virginia community. We fabricate everything in house, in our shop facility that was built in 2023. We include all in house powder coating and CNC machine work in every structure we create.
Our local roots are our foundation to serve customers around the country. No matter where you live, you can enjoy the comfort, convenience, and beauty of a Shade Sail Structure.
