Park, Recreation & Marina Shade Solutions

Parks, recreational facilities, and coastal marinas face demanding environment conditions that include intense UV exposure and tropical heat to high winds and saltwater air. At Miami Awning, we collaborate with landscape architects, municipal planners, civil engineers, and general contractors to design and fabricate heavy-duty, long-lasting shade systems that make outdoor public spaces safer, cooler, and more usable year-round.

All of our municipal and commercial shade structures are custom engineered to meet strict Florida Building Code (FBC) and High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) standards.

Miami Awning is happy to inform our clients that the American Academy of Dermatology awards Shade Structure Grants of $8,000.00 for non-profit organizations and public schools.
