We bring comfort to outdoor living.
Make your move to outdoor living seamless. Only ShadeFX affords the comfort of fine cushioned furniture, overflowing dining tables, and memorable family events free of concern for the elements: rain or shine.
Every ShadeFX canopy is made to order, to your exact dimensional requirements and shipped within three weeks of order receipt.
Entertain outdoors on a grand scale. The luxury of covering areas up to 600 sq-ft under one retractable canopy happens at the push of a button. Only ShadeFX is designed to protect large areas from both sun and rain, while allowing the option of open sky for enjoying perfect days to the fullest.
Style also comes with substance. ShadeFX allows you to take your love of outdoor living anywhere, with a design strength suited to withstand the rigors of terrace locations in the sky and the wind forces common among tall downtown buildings and seaside locales.
Only ShadeFX has the patent pending monorail drive beam that supports the canopy in the middle with actual 'wings' instead of fabric tension.
This unique design solution allows rain to drain to the sides rather than pool in the middle, so it behaves like a flat roof. Click on the image to the right for a larger view.

 | Also, because the drive is a monorail, (one track) it does not need the high degree of parallelism between tracks. This is always a problem for wood framed pergolas that move over time and the seasons while shrinking and expanding.  Click on the image to the left for a larger view.
Without ShadeFX, this 44’ long canopy system would not work. To our knowledge, this is the longest retractable canopy installed and operating at RARE 650, a Long Island, New York restaurant. See more pictures of this installation. |
All canopies are made to order to fit a frame that is existing or being constructed separately by your contractor. Most commonly, these are wood pergola frames (also called arbors) or lattice patio covers.
This pergola has a canopy system that fits perfectly into the arched rafters. The fit required the bending of the canopy wings to the radius of the rafter arches. An affordable option for the ultimate finishing touch to an outdoor living space. Click on the image to the right for a larger view.
