Product Highlights
Freestanding 2-Block Layout
Six posts carry the whole structure with no house attachment, at any footprint up to 24' x 12' — a good fit for longer, narrower spaces.
Two HDPE Shade Canopies
The kit includes 2 shade canopies with mounting brackets. The knitted 180 GSM high-density polyethylene fabric is fade-resistant and blocks up to 95% of UV rays.
Straps Keep It Tight
Each canopy side has 4 straps that secure to the corner brackets and roof beams, keeping the fabric tight and preventing drooping.
Steel, Cut and Welded Precisely
Brackets are laser-cut and laser-welded, made with 12-gauge steel in the 6x6 size or 14-gauge steel in the 4x4 size, with a premium weather coating and pre-drilled holes.
