shade structures
Sun-blocking installations overhead
Shade structures are constructions designed to block sunlight and provide relief from heat—canopies, pergolas, awnings, umbrellas, and similar installations.
The term appears frequently in urban planning, landscape architecture, and outdoor recreation contexts: The playground needs new shade structures.
They may be permanent or temporary, freestanding or attached to buildings.
