Build and sign-off
One supervisor, a published schedule and a walk-through punch list before final payment.
Questions
Shade FAQs
- Do shade structures need a permit?
- Larger covered structures usually do. We check local rules and file the application as part of the job.
- How much wind can a shade sail take?
- It depends on anchor points. We specify hardware and post footings for local wind loads rather than fixing to fascia alone.
