W-Truss Shade Structure

Our W-Truss not only provides you with the required benefits of a shade structure—customer comfort, reduced watering, and product protection—but it does so with an elegance and style your customers will notice; and our peaked roof option (available in 3 pitch choices) offers even more visual appeal.

However, the W-Truss is more than just a pretty face. It’s also one of the strongest shade structures in the industry! Utilizing heavy-duty, 3″ square, 12 gauge galvanized posts, the W-Truss is definitely built to last, and we can configure this structure to meet your individual layout needs. You’ll benefit from our “form-meets-function” approach, and the result will be increased sales. Find out today how the W-Truss can make a difference in your business.
