Please describe the project specifications

This project consisted of our five, trademarked, GORILLABRELLA shade-sail style permanent umbrellas measuring 16 feet by 16 feet in their newly renovated outdoor break area. Focus of the client was to provide protection against the summer heat for employees to enjoy lunch breaks and down time in a patio setting located near the back of the building. They also plan to use this space for gatherings, social events and award ceremonies.


What is unique or complex about the project?

The clean design of the newly renovated patio with high-end travertine pavers and fresh paint made this the perfect setting for our array of GORILLABrellas. These structures are strategically spaced for even shade coverage throughout the middle of the day. Site utilities were an issue so work arounds had to be done to accommodate the patterned design concept. The alternating highs and lows of the arms integrate seamlessly for further aesthetic interest.
