Whether you run a restaurant, hotel, or corporate business, first impressions are of the utmost importance. The first thing people see when they are approaching your place of business is the exterior. A custom shade structure is a creative and practical way to ensure that your business will look the part and make people want to come inside. Here are some tips for designing a custom shade structure for your business!
Main Function
The first thing you want to do is figure out your main purpose for investing in a custom shade structure. If you need one for more practical use such as blocking out the sun, you are going to want to invest in materials designed to reflect the sun’s rays as well as brighter colors. If your shade structure is more for show, you can go for more bold design options and color schemes.
Brand Image
Every business has its own set of values and a message that it wants to convey to its consumers. With that being said, you want your custom shade structure to reflect and complement those values. This includes everything from the color scheme you choose to what you put on the shade structure itself. Putting your logo onto your shade structure is also a good way to enhance your brand image.
Building Design
Your shade structure should effortlessly blend with the pre-existing design and architecture of your building. While you want your custom shade structure to stand out, you don’t want it to stand out for the wrong reasons. A shade structure that completely clashes with the look of the building can be more of an eye sore rather than eye-catching. Be careful not to choose colors and patterns that directly clash with the building itself.
Environmental Factors
It’s important to consider the area that you are installing your shade structure. Here in South Florida, it can get pretty hot, but there is also the chance of thunderstorms and rain every so often. This means that you want to invest in a shade structure material that is designed to be water resistant as well as protective of the sun’s UV rays. If you live in an area with high winds, you may want to invest in a sturdier fabric option or maybe even a metal shade structure.
