Commercial Garden Shade Structures: Flexible Solutions with the Right Fittings
Garden shade structures are perfect for protecting your plants as well as making your outdoor space both functional and comfortable. Whether you're setting up a plant nursery, managing a retail garden center, or just trying to create a comfortable environment for customers; a shade structure enhances your space and providing what you're looking for. Commercial garden shade structures will serve to safeguard plants from damaging rays of the sun, enhance the beauty of your gardens, and make your outside spaces more enjoyable for customers.
A quality garden shade structure begins with high quality and properly-sized metal fittings. Once you choose your structure size and fittings, we carry many different sizes and colors of mesh shade panels to finish off your design and match the shade percentages you need for your plants. We also offer custom options if needed.
Versatile Solutions for Homeowners and Small Garden Shops
For homeowner, enthusiast gardener, or small nursery business the light weight of our 3/4 and 1 inch metal fittings can provide flexibility and ease. You can quickly assemble a simple garden shade house and make it moveable so you can reposition it to shade different sections of your space. Or you can develop a removable shelter for a couple of raised beds, plant stands, or herb gardens. You could add different walkways between beds or other shelters. With the 3/4 and 1 inch structures being so light weight, they can be easily repositioned to different areas of a patio or seating area. All of our flat fittings come with eye bolt fasteners, so no tools are required once you have your desired pole lengths. This creates a very fast and easy set up and tear down.
Heavy-Duty 1 5/8” Flat Metal Fittings for Commercial Retail and Industrial Applications
Larger commercial properties require more strength and longer lifespan of products. Using 1 5/8" flat metal fittings gives longer life, more versatility, and more beauty to their structural products. Typically, these types of strong heavy gauge connectors are utilized in large commercial garden shade structures on an ongoing basis in retail garden centers, hardware stores, nurseries, and agricultural and farming environments.
Every year major retail garden centers such as Ace Hardware and Lowe’s need to construct large shade structures over huge outdoor display areas of plants and materials. These structures must protect valuable inventory. A 1 5/8” diameter size is preferred for these taller structures; and the flat metal fitting design of our components allows for strong, flush connections to the frame parts that are able to bear the weight of hanging baskets.
While true flat fittings are not available from most hardware stores, Tarps.com does have a complete line of full industrial grade 1 5/8 inch flat metal canopy fittings. This product line allows contractors, garden centers, and retail chains to construct shade structures that are safe, functional and scalable.
Our heavy-duty fittings are ideal for:
- Retail garden center shade structures
- Hardware store outdoor plant displays
- Commercial nurseries and growing operations
- Agricultural shade systems
- Equipment and inventory protection
- Permanent or semi-permanent outdoor shade installations
Modular Design for Scalable Shade Structure Systems
The modular design of our commercial canopy fittings is one of the greatest advantages. You can begin with a smaller structure and then expand it as the needs of your business grow. This is particularly important for retailers, garden centers, and other commercial businesses which frequently change store layouts and are required to add and remove products to the exterior inventory area.
A further advantage of standardized metal components in steel buildings is the ease of maintenance and repair work. Without having to dismantle the entire system, each component can be replaced individually. This ensures low running costs for the future.
Built for Long-Term Performance and Reliability
Unlike residential applications, commercial garden shade structures can be subjected to very harsh conditions. It is therefore important to choose metal components that are up to the challenge. Not only will they ensure the structural integrity and safety of the structure, but they will also give years of service. Small components are still suitable for domestic applications, but heavy duty 1 5/8" flat metal components are required for more commercial or industrial applications.
