Superior Shade Hexagon Hip Shade - 20' Hexagon Shade Structure
Description
The Superior Shade Hexagon Hip Shade is a versatile, six-column shade structure designed to cover large and small circular areas with style and durability. Built for commercial environments like parks, schools, churches, aquatic facilities, and hospitality venues, this shade delivers reliable sun protection across a wide footprint. The hexagonal hip design creates a bold architectural presence while providing comprehensive overhead coverage for seating, playgrounds, outdoor dining, and poolside areas.
Available in standard sizes from 12 ft. to 55 ft. and entry heights of 8 ft., 10 ft., and 12 ft., the Hexagon Hip is engineered to fit a variety of spatial needs without sacrificing structural integrity. Custom sizes and heights are also available, making it one of the most adaptable shade solutions in the Superior Shade lineup. Backed by a 20-year framework warranty and 10-year fabric warranty, this structure is built to perform through years of daily outdoor use.
Key Features
- 6-Column Design: Hexagonal structure with six support columns provides even load distribution and a striking visual footprint.
- Entry Heights - 8', 10', or 12': Three standard entry eave heights to accommodate different clearance needs - custom heights also available.
- Size Range - 12 ft. to 55 ft.: Standard sizes available in two-foot increments; custom sizes available across the full range.
- Surface or In-Ground Mount: Choose the mounting method that best fits your site conditions and installation requirements.
- Optional Glide Elbow Fabric Tensioning: The Glide Elbow accessory simplifies fabric installation, tensioning, and seasonal removal - ideal for coastal and northern climates.
- Wind-Rated Frame: Frames are rated for wind gusts up to 150 mph when fabric is removed, making them suitable for hurricane and high-wind regions.
- Traditional Shade Fabric: High-quality shade fabric included as standard, providing effective UV and heat protection.
- 20-Year Framework Warranty: Industry-leading warranty on the structural framework for long-term peace of mind.
- 10-Year Fabric Warranty: Durable shade fabric backed by a decade of manufacturer coverage.
- Broad Application Range: Suited for aquatic centers, playgrounds, outdoor classrooms, dining areas, parks, schools, churches, zoos, and more.
Options & Which to Choose
Entry Height
- 8' Entry Height: The most compact clearance option, ideal for seated areas, standard playground shade, and budget-conscious installations where overhead clearance is not a priority.
- 10' Entry Height: A mid-range height suited for mixed-use areas where both pedestrian traffic and seating will share the space - a popular choice for parks and school courtyards.
- 12' Entry Height: Maximum standard clearance, best for high-traffic areas, aquatic facilities, or anywhere large equipment, vehicles, or tall users need to move underneath the structure.
Mount Type
- In-Ground Mount: Posts are set directly into the ground with concrete footings, providing the most secure and permanent installation. Best for long-term, fixed installations in parks, schools, and commercial facilities.
- Surface Mount: Posts bolt onto a concrete surface, making this option ideal for existing concrete pads, pool decks, or anywhere digging is not practical or permitted.
Glide Elbow
- With Glide Elbow: The Glide Elbow fabric tensioning accessory makes fabric installation and removal faster and easier. Strongly recommended for coastal areas prone to hurricanes and northern climates with heavy snow loads - allows you to quickly remove fabric before severe weather to protect your investment.
- No Glide Elbow: Standard fabric attachment without the quick-release tensioning system. A straightforward, cost-effective choice for areas with mild climates and minimal severe weather risk.

FAQ
What is the difference between In-Ground and Surface Mount?
In-Ground mount means the support posts are set directly into the ground using concrete footings - this is the most secure and permanent option, ideal for new installations in soil or grass areas. Surface mount means the posts are bolted onto an existing concrete slab, which is a great choice for pool decks, patios, or any site where digging is not feasible. Both options provide a structurally sound installation when properly installed.
Do I need the Glide Elbow and what does it do?
The Glide Elbow is an optional fabric tensioning accessory that makes it significantly easier to install, tension, and remove the shade fabric. It is strongly recommended for customers in coastal areas (hurricane risk) and northern climates (heavy snow loads). By allowing quick fabric removal before severe weather events, the Glide Elbow helps protect both the fabric and the frame. If you are in a mild climate with minimal severe weather, the standard no-Glide-Elbow option is a cost-effective choice.
Can I get a custom size or entry height?
Yes. Superior Shade offers custom sizes from 12 ft. to 55 ft. and custom entry heights from 8 ft. to 20 ft. If your project requires dimensions outside the standard options, please contact us and we can discuss your specific requirements and get you a custom quote.
What applications is the Hexagon Hip Shade best suited for?
The Hexagon Hip is ideal for a wide range of commercial and institutional applications, including playgrounds, outdoor classrooms, aquatic and pool areas, outdoor dining, church courtyards, park seating areas, zoos and aquariums, and hospitality venues. Its six-column design and range of sizes make it flexible enough to fit both compact and expansive spaces.
What is the wind rating for this shade structure?
The frame is rated for wind gusts up to 150 mph when the shade fabric has been removed. This makes it a strong choice for regions prone to high winds or hurricanes, especially when paired with the Glide Elbow accessory for quick fabric removal ahead of severe weather.
What warranties are included?
The Hexagon Hip Shade comes with a 20-year warranty on the framework and a 10-year warranty on the shade fabric. These are among the most comprehensive warranties available in the commercial shade industry and reflect the long-term durability of Superior Shade's products.
