Creating a shade structure: for a comfortable space in an urban environment

Our catalog

Urban environments are increasingly devoid of natural spaces offering shade from the sun. However, they are not spared the vagaries of the weather, which can sometimes lead to impressive temperature peaks.

While it may be difficult to get the ball rolling on reinstalling plants, the installation of designer street furniture designed to create shade provides an effective solution. Since it’s not incompatible with a certain amount of greening, it’s an attractive option for urban communities and businesses alike.

Get a shade structure to suit your living environment

The appeal of a shade structure lies in its ability to provide easily accessible, moderate-temperature spaces in areas where the effects of the sun are strongly felt. Many urban areas can therefore accommodate such facilities, with a view to improving the quality of life of the people who frequent them. Resting on one or more levels, a shade structure carries a roofing system at the top, which can incorporate louvered shutters, shade cloths, a green roof, or even a rainwater harvesting system, which interrupts the sun’s path while providing coolness.

At Polymobyl, we promise to help you create a solar protection installation that takes into account the requirements of your environment. In what context would you like to carry out your shade furniture installation project? Do you do this as a leader of a local authority, a student community or even a corporate employee? In either case, we can adapt to your needs and provide you with a customized solution.

From public bus shelters to smokers’ shelters on private premises, or pergolas on café terraces, we can meet a wide variety of needs. And in both cases, we take into account not only space constraints, but also the visual identity of the site.

We install different types of shade structures

As you browse our product catalog in search of a shading device to suit your needs, you’ll discover the breadth of our offerings. For example, we can install a pergola, either free-standing or supported by a building. If you regularly need to accommodate a large number of people, such a structure makes it easy to provide shade through a single solution. This equipment is also suitable for domestic use.

We also produce sheltered benches, planted umbrellas and trellis planters. Depending on the specifics of your project, the tops of these various devices can be made of canvas or rigid materials that repel heat without retaining it.

Why entrust your project to us?

Producing and installing shade structures is a delicate process, involving careful selection of materials and definition of shapes. It’s not just a question of assembling pillars and umbrellas, it’s also important to ensure that the units formed offer real protection from the sun.

With over 35 years’ experience in the design of various types of street furniture, we have built up the know-how needed to carefully manage any shade structure initiative. Contact us and let’s work out the details of your project together!
