Please describe the project specifications

Transform your poolside experience at the Omni Tempe Hotel in Tempe, Arizona with our innovative shade sail structure, designed to elevate both comfort and aesthetics. The project features two sophisticated, interweaving shade sails spanning the 3rd-floor pool bar, meticulously supported by two lace rail brackets and four wall brackets. Each sail boasts deep arcs, providing ample shade coverage while allowing for strategic clearance between them to reduce wear and tear over time. Measuring approximately 30'x20', this installation not only offers expansive protection from the sun but also defines the space with its sleek, modern design.

The client's goal was to enhance the guest experience by creating a stylish yet functional shaded area that would seamlessly integrate with the luxurious ambiance of the Omni Tempe Hotel. One of the primary challenges was ensuring maximum shade coverage while maintaining structural integrity and minimizing potential damage from strong winds. By incorporating deep arcs and carefully positioned brackets, we achieved a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution that exceeded the client's expectations. Additionally, this installation minimizes environmental impact by reducing the need for additional cooling, promoting energy efficiency. Overall, the new shade sails have transformed the pool bar into a chic, comfortable oasis, maximizing guest enjoyment and enhancing the hotel's appeal.
