t all started in 1994, when our founder was working at a shade company specializing in shade structures. Through the years he felt there must be a better way to provide shade where people wanted it, rather than setting a square over a space and calling it shade. Through his research, he learned about shade sails and other types of tensioned fabric shade structures. Several years later he formed Shade Central, LLC, now Shade Industries. Shade Industries® specializes in providing beautiful, aesthetically pleasing shade, where and when you want it. We design, fabricate and install the finest shade sails, tension fabric shade structures, patio shade covers, architectural shades, pool hat shade sails and shade canopies in Arizona. We use powerful software programs to assist with design.
