Slide Beam
Slide Beam is our modular frame system for covering long, repeating spans — think rows of parking, extended walkways, or any layout where the same bay needs to repeat many times over.
The slide-beam construction lets bays connect end-to-end into one continuous structure, keeping the visual line clean while distributing wind and structural loads evenly across the full run.
Built on the same galvanized-steel, ASTM-conforming frame and ShadeNet fabric as the rest of the Shade America line, Slide Beam is sized per-project to match the length and width of the area you need covered.
