The Competition   The Easy Shade Systems Way

Compare and see why only Shade Systems makes it EASY for you to remove and re-install your canopy in case of hurricane or other severe weather!
The Competition   The Shade Systems Way
  • Uses a fixed hook which does not move cable binds underneath, making adjustment difficult
  
  • Turn-N-Slide™ easy fastening device has an adjustable hook for accurate tensioning each time
  • Uses a single length cable for the entire perimeter of the structure very difficult to adjust evenly

 
  • Each side of structure has an independent cable that's pre-cut and looped at the factory - no guesswork for you in the field!
  • Needs "come-along" or other winch-type tools to tension cable
  
  • No special tools required for installing or removing your canopy just a common socket wrench and our supplied vandal-resistant hex key!

Just Two Easy Steps

Step 1
Step 2
Use our special vandal-resistant tool to remove access cap. Then turn the concealed nut using a standard socket wrench. Attachment hook magically moves backward, releasing the canopy cables.

Reverse the steps to re-attach -- it's that easy!

But wait!  The competition says they have an "equal" to the Turn-N-Slide™


They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  And we have reason to be very flattered, as numerous "imitations" have appeared since Shade Systems introduced the revolutionary Turn-N-Slide™ in 2003.   But buyer beware - it's in the details where our competition runs into problems.   Just look at all the ways competiting fastening systems fail the smell test:

  • Only the Shade Systems Turn-N-Slide™ is time-tested, having been used by countless municipalities nationwide, and through major Florida hurricanes such as Katrina and Wilma.  Ask the competitor how long their system has been on the market?


  • Only the Shade Systems Turn-N-Slide™ is patented, having been subjected to rigorous engineering and testing before it was introduced to the market in 2003.


  • Competing mechanisms feature a slot cut into the top of the structure's rafter, allowing water and debris to enter the rafter, which can cause corrosion and system failure.  This is an inferior design which testing and field experiences have shown does not last!  Only the Shade Systems Turn-N-Slide™ features a completely sealed rafter top to keep out water and debris, ensuring your Turn-N-Slide™ will last for the long run.


  • The competition's slot cut into the top of the rafter presents another problem: Instead of the hook being welded to a moving sleeve over the entire rafter as in the Turn-N-Slide™, the competition's hook necessarily attaches directly to the mechanism inside the rafter, which is too weak to withstand high wind speeds and the tension exerted on the hook by the steel cables - a force which can exceed 1,500 lbs of tension!   Our design spreads the load over the strength of the entire rafter, and that is why we can cover the Turn-N-Slide™ with the 10 year warranty below.


  • As the ultimate proof of quality, competing mechanisms do not come with the same 10 year warranty as Shade Systems provides.  Check the competitor's website for any mention of their device and its warranty coverage.  If you don't find it - get suspicious!  You can see ours here, and our warranty calls out the Turn-N-Slide™ in writing with a specific 10 year non-prorated coverage.
