About Us

We Specialize in Custom Shade Structures, Commercial Retractable Roofs, Shade Sails, Sunsquare Shades, & Cabanas

Inspired by the vibrant colors of her hometown, Miami, FL, ShadeFLA’s President, Margueritte Ramos founded the company in 2005 with the goal of combining sun protection, design flair, and technology. Originally, ShadeFLA focused on tension sails and playground canopies but in 2008, something caught their eye. Vice President, Carlos Herrera noticed a unique shade product while traveling in Bratislava, Slovakia: a Sun Square retractable sail. The Austrian-designed product retracts automatically at wind speeds of 25 mph.
In 2009, ShadeFLA became the exclusive U.S. dealer for Sun Square and installed its very first Sun Square retractable sail at The Betsy Hotel on South Beach. In 2010, ShadeFLA began offering cabana installations, and throughout the years it has continued to expand its services, with products ranging from retractable roofs to screens, louvered roofs, misting systems, durable outdoor umbrellas, and more, in an effort to create a one-stop-shop for outdoor shade.
