Set in the lush, resort-style community of Reunion, Florida, this backyard is a private haven with direct views of the golf course and a luxurious pool deck. Framed by palm trees and manicured hedges, the space invites relaxation, but Florida’s intense sun can quickly send loungers indoors. The homeowners needed a solution that added dependable shade while matching the upscale aesthetics of their outdoor retreat.

To eliminate the constant hassle of repositioning umbrellas, they chose a 16′ x 10′ freestanding canopy installed poolside. ShadeFX delivered the custom setup: a sleek black-painted frame paired with Harbortime Shale fabric, selected for its modern appeal and seamless integration with the stone pool deck. The durable structure was engineered to shade four loungers with ease, creating a cool, comfortable zone that maintains the panoramic golf course view. From design to delivery, the ShadeFX team ensured a smooth experience every step of the way.

“We could not be happier with our ShadeFX Canopy. From our initial contact, design, delivery and guidance for installation; Kevin and his team provided excellent support and suggestions. No more moving umbrellas to try to block the sun, the ShadeFX system covers up to 4 people and looks so much cleaner on our Florida pool deck! Certainly worth the investment.”
