Please describe the project specifications

Fabricate three tension shades for three aft decks.


What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

The customer wanted shade on the aft decks.


What is unique or complex about the project?

We fabricated three shades: one for the flybridge, one for the bridge deck and one for the main deck. The shades on the main deck are removable. The shades on the bridge deck and the main deck are semi-permanent.

The shade on the flybridge was particularly difficult because we had to figure out the weft of the fabric to ensure proper tension for the five shades.

To do the three shades for this project, we used the Prodim Proliner to digitally measure the job, our CAD department digitized it and the fabric was cut on our plotter cutter table.

The metal department fabricated custom stainless steel receivers for the poles, custom carbon fiber poles and custom stainless steel fittings.


What were the results of the project?

The project came out beautifully.
