SUNGUARD SHADE STRUCTURES, INC. was born in Florida, which is known for hot summer temperatures, high winds and hurricanes. The wind load design requirements in Florida are the highest in the Nation, requiring structural designs to withstand up to 150 MPH. SUNGUARD'S core philosophy is to design and manufacture structures that are architecturally appealing, made from the best materials, and that are strong enough to meet or exceed ALL Building Code requirements. All design and manufacturing is produced by the SUNGUARD Team in our own facilities. Team members pride themselves on producing the very best components. And we back our product with the strongest warranties. SUNGUARD is at the leading edge of Research & Development for heat reduction concepts to protect people and property.
