Shadetree boat awning systems are the answer to the boater's need for protection from sun and rain while at anchor or in port.  Modeling the design on dome tent technology, Shadetrees are self-supported fabric structures.  Flexible fiberglass wands support a coated Dacron fabric canopy.  This self-supporting feature eliminates the need to hold up the awning with a halyard and makes set-up and takedown a 10 minute process.
Ventilation is improved with Shadetree as hatches and companion ways are covered rain or shine.  The "tunnel" shape of the Shadetree provides shade at all sun angles, reduces the effects of blowing rain and channels breezes over the deck, reducing cabin temperatures.  The Shadetree system is in use all over the world.  Read what some happy Shadetree owners say about their Shadetrees in our Testimonials section.  Why don't you join them and relax under a Shadetree?
RECTANGULAR Shadetree models cover the boat from the mast aft, where the boat is most consistent in beam width.  Using support wands of identical lengths forms a uniform fabric tunnel over the boat.  A 36" split in the aft center of the canopy allows topping lifts to pass through for further aft placement.  A Shadetree over the companionway and cockpit creates shady comfort on board and provides more dry usable space when sunshine turns liquid.
TAPERED Shadetree models cover the boat forward of the mast, where the beam width tapers, or aft on boats with dramatically pinched sterns.  By using support wands of graduated lengths and taping the cut of the fabric, the canopy conforms to the reduction in beam while maintaining its tunnel shape.  A full length split in the center of the canopy allows rigging to pass through.  The split is reinforced and made watertight with Velcro closure flaps.  A Shadetree on the bow assures a cooler V-berth and allows forward hatches to be open in varied weather.
