We chose ShadeFX to design and install our complete patio solution. It has allowed us to extend our table coverage from 15 to 30 tables, expand our patio’s use and season by two months and helped our business exceed patio revenue projections. ShadeFX managed our project from conception to installation, including the structure, retractable canopies, rain gutters, and glass railings. Our customers can now enjoy our patio day and night, during diverse weather conditions and most importantly, when our competitor’s patios are closed. Thanks ShadeFX.

I added nine ShadeFX canopies to a pergola project that required total sun and rain protection. When I contacted ShadeFX, I was walked through logical steps that had me choose the appropriate product, orient it properly for rain run-off, set the dimensions, and choose the fabric. The entire process was faster and easier than I expected, and customer approval came easily because the systems look great. Once ordered, the canopies were delivered on schedule to the mainland freight forwarder that ShadeFX coordinated with on my behalf. Installation was as easy as described and there were no post installation issues. I could not be more satisfied with the purchasing experience and the customer satisfaction ShadeFX provided.

In the heart of financial district in downtown Toronto, our patio represents an innovative take on West Coast dining in a chic environment. Our goal is to provide upmost comfort, whether it be enjoying one of our signature dishes with a loved one, or socializing with colleagues over a cold beverage. With a large seating capacity on our patio, it is vital the space use is not compromised by unfavourable weather conditions. At the push of a button we can operate all eight retractable canopies in sync or individually, providing us ultimate flexibility in protection and coverage. Gone are the days of worrying about weather, our patio is always open, rain or shine. Thank you ShadeFX.

The new Cascades Casino in Kamloops, British Columbia is designed to include multiple restaurants that include large outdoor spaces. With such a great area of outdoor dining space we needed a shading solution that can not only cover and protect during harsh weather conditions, but also have the ability to be discrete when retracted. ShadeFX worked with our Interior Design and Architectural teams to develop a solution that worked with our overall concept. Their knowledge and engineering offered us the best solution for our restaurant and patio design.

We purchased a custom shade from ShadeFX in the spring to cover a pergola in our yard - approx 16' x 12'. We were a little anxious over the cost, however having had the pleasure of enjoying this shade over the summer I am able to say with all sincerity it was worth it. Sitting under the pergola even in the dead heat of the day, especially with the weather we have had here in Southern Ontario this year - it seemed a good 10 degrees cooler. We are able to enjoy sitting out in the deck even in the rain without getting wet, it's very well made. We had some issues initially - there was a little leak in the seam. The ShadeFX folks came out and replaced the material within a very reasonable amount of time with no cost to us. They were very professional and courteous. We are very happy with our shade and do not regret the purchase and based on the service received to date I will not hesitate to purchase from them again.

Thorough, responsive, and accommodating, the team at ShadeFX was always a pleasure to work with and were able to deliver a superb product with attentive service along the way. We are pleased with the excellent level of craftsmanship, the fine tolerances in detailing, and the ease of operation for the retractable canopies. They were able to deliver exactly what we were looking for and installation was seamlessly coordinated with the multiple other contractors and trades located on site.

A restaurant’s outdoor dining has to be as beautiful and inviting as the restaurant’s interior. Atmosphere is a major part of the guests’ experience and it is our responsibility to create the ambiance for our guests – whether they are dining inside or outdoors. When we decided to invest in an outdoor structure for our courtyard patio, we knew we wanted something special to complete our vision. We were searching for a product that was aesthetically beautiful and would protect our guests from the sun and rain. We decided to work with ShadeFX because of their sleek design, minimalistic approach, easy-to-clean material, positive reviews from past customers, and, of course, pricing. The entire experience from start to finish was seamless. ShadeFX is professional and organized. The design, manufacturing, and installation was handled with attention and detail and the final installation was completed within our given time frame. We are so proud to offer a unique outdoor dining space to our guests. Thank you, ShadeFX!

ShadeFX’s knowledge and experience in deploying rooftop projects was invaluable. In concert with our design, ShadeFX made key recommendations on integrating the canopies to optimize protection. Our clients love the canopies as they enhance the ambiance of their space and provides sun, rain and privacy protection. Since this initial project, we have collaborated with ShadeFX to include their solutions into additional projects.

I started working with ShadeFX in January of 2017. The project was in South Beach where the local historical board and the Dade County building code combine to make what may be the most complicated set of rules a general contractor can face. From our first contact to the last screw on a turnkey project involving 5 retractable roofs and 8 retractable canopies, the team at ShadeFX was always positive, helpful, and constructive. On dozens of occasions they revised, changed and requoted the project as needed to navigate the demands of the local authorities. The final result is fantastic and would not have been possible without the total commitment of ShadeFX to achieve the result we envisioned for our outdoor spaces. I highly recommend ShadeFX, for any large commercial project, that requires extraordinary levels of expertise and professionalism to achieve a technically complicated and aesthetically demanding result.

Dealing with ShadeFX from the initial phone call inquiring about their product to the completion of our project was truly a great experience. They worked closely with us on every stage of the project from design, permit review and construction, the end result exceeded our expectations! Our patrons and guests just love the ambience and shade created by the canopies. If you are looking to create a unique outside functional space we highly recommend you call ShadeFX.
