Dugout Shade Structures & Canopies

All dugout shade structures from The Windscreen Factory block up to 95.5% of UVR (ultraviolet radiation). This level of protection significantly reduces the risk of sunburn and UV-related health effects for players, coaches, and spectators spending extended time outdoors in dugouts and sideline areas.

Our shade structures are constructed from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) fabric that is UV-stabilized, mildew resistant, heat treated, non-toxic, and environmentally certified. The material resists dirt, moisture, and certain chemicals, and can be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive, pH-neutral detergent and water.

Our design team provides consultation, photoshop renderings to help visualize the finished product, and can accommodate large-scale custom projects for athletic complexes. Contact our sales team to discuss your specific dimensions and layout requirements.

Yes. Professional installation services are available for all shade structure types. Our skilled installation crews serve customers across the USA. Maintenance and repair support are also offered after the sale to ensure your shade structures remain in optimal condition throughout their service life.

The Cantilevered Shade is a popular choice for dugouts because it eliminates the center post, maximizing open space and visibility. The Hip Roof Shade is ideal for larger dugout or concession coverage needing corner post structural support. Both styles provide the same high level of UV protection and feature the quick-remove Glide Elbow system.
