Our creative designs for shade, and custom shade structures for decks protect the outdoor space, and shelter it from the midday sun. Our outdoor patio and landscape structures can be custom designed to fit your site and ordered, in kit form.


The fujidana at the far end of this hillside deck provides a cool and breezy spot.

 
Only filtered sun dapples across this new deck, and in an area where an open gathering place would get blasted by the sun, the design of this deck and landscape creates a comfortable and sheltered setting.

The fujidana, a Japanese style post and beam shade structure, protects the area during the heat of the day. The bamboo roof covering shields the sun while defining the area, and can be rolled up in the fall to let in the light.


We like to use 6' x 15' rolls of high quality, copper tied bamboo fencing as the shade element on our shade structures. The cane is very hard and durable, and the shade cast is nice and cool, maybe 80% shade. Come fall, you can roll up the bamboo and let in the sun.
