Tension Sail Shade Structure That Parks Departments and Commercial Properties Trust
Your visitors notice when a shade structure looks like it was sculpted rather than assembled. The Pegasus uses gracefully arched steel and a curved central support to hold a tensioned fabric sail above the space below, creating a structure that functions as both shade coverage and a visual centerpiece.
Instead of a standard peaked or flat canopy, your property gets a tensioned fabric sail suspended from an arched steel frame that curves upward from a single central support. The result is a structure that fits naturally at pool decks, public plazas, parks, and commercial outdoor areas where the design of the space is as important as the shade it provides.
Supply-A-City is an authorized USA Shade and Fabric Structures distributor. All products are manufactured in the USA and backed by a 10-year structural warranty on steel and a 10-year limited fabric warranty.
What Sets the Pegasus Steel Tension Shade Apart
The Pegasus combines fabric architecture with structural engineering in a way that most commercial shade structures don't attempt. The arched steel frame and curved central support work together to hold the fabric sail in a tensioned form that has visual presence from every angle. Multiple units can be installed together to create a continuous run of tensioned sails across a larger outdoor area, as seen at pool decks and resort-style amenity spaces.
If a similarly architectural design fits your project better, the Aquarius Shade is worth comparing. For a more conventional roofline, the Two Post Hip Shade Structure is also available.
Built for Commercial Wind and Snow Loads
The Pegasus is engineered for commercial-grade conditions, rated for 90 mph three-second wind gusts and 5 PSF snow loads. For properties in high-wind or heavy-snow regions, the optional Quick Release system allows fabric removal without tools when severe weather is anticipated.
The frame is built with heavy-duty steel and finished with a UV-resistant powder coat for long-term outdoor durability. For properties near the ocean, a Zinc Rich coastal primer upgrade is available for added protection against saltwater exposure.
