Have you ever found yourself longing to enjoy your deck or patio, only to be driven indoors by the relentless afternoon sun? We have. In fact, that very frustration was the spark that ignited ShadeFit Kit. Our story isn’t just about a product; it’s about a passion for outdoor living and a refusal to let the sun limit our enjoyment.
Like many, we tried the usual solutions. Large cantilever umbrellas, while helpful, just didn’t provide the complete coverage we needed. We envisioned a solution that could mount to any deck or patio to provide low-angle sun protection. It needed to have a clean, unobtrusive design, but that solution didn’t exist. So, we created it.
We channeled 35 years of manufacturing and engineering experience into designing ShadeFit Kit. Step-by-step instructions are provided for custom design and installation by DIYers and professionals. Proudly made in the USA, ShadeFit Kit embodies our commitment to quality, performance, and supporting American workers.

As the inventors of ShadeFit Kit, these are actual pictures of the first installation. We wanted to show you exactly what it looks like on our deck and honestly, after three years of use, we can't imagine being without it! We take the shades down in the winter and put them back up in the spring, and we can do all three in just 15 minutes

We installed the ShadeFit kit on our patio to work with our large umbrella, and it has made a huge difference. It's the perfect solution for blocking that intense, late-afternoon sun that used to drive us inside. As a result, we're using our patio so much more. We also love the added privacy it gives us from the nearby road and neighbors. We love this kit!

I bought this for privacy on our deck. We started with 3 shades and are adding a 4th because we love the privacy and shade. It's also a lot cooler. I highly recommend.
