Shade_Structure_Example_Photo.pdf

The image depicts an aerial view of a playground with two large blue shade structures covering playground equipment. The structures are supported by black metal poles and stretch over a bright green artificial turf surface. The playground is located in an urban setting with palm trees, parked vehicles, and surrounding buildings visible in the background. The shade structures provide sun protection for playground equipment including slides, climbing structures, and other play elements. Blue shade sails are strategically positioned to maximize coverage and create a cooler play environment for children.

The shade structure example photo corresponds to the City of St. Petersburg's procurement opportunity for constructing two new shade structures at the St. Pete Youth Farm and North Shore Softball Field. The image illustrates the type of shade structure the city is seeking, which must be consistent with existing structures throughout the city. The blue shade sails and support system demonstrate a modern design that offers sun protection and enhances the usability of outdoor recreational spaces. The photo serves as a visual reference for potential vendors bidding on the shade structure project, showcasing the desired aesthetic and functional qualities of the proposed installations.
