ourselves as a totally vertical operation. This means that we manufacture and

produce over 90% of the components used in our products from the raw state. We

can monitor every stage of the manufacturing process and maintain a consistent

level of quality. Our only business and focus is shade and shade type products. Our

goal is that each and every Shademaker style will exceed your expectations at a

competitive price that will make you smile.

What Is NOT Covered: Failure caused by unreasonable or abusive use, or failure

product are not covered by this warranty.

This warranty covers return freight of any warranted product only for the first year.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights which

vary from state to state. If the powder coat finish flakes, bubbles, peels or loses

and tear is not covered under this limited warranty.

Caution: Seaside and indoor pool use, salt & chlorides can accumulate on the

Irregularities in Production Process: The possibility of “Irregularities” in the product

surface may occur during the production process. However, these irregularities

do not reduce the quality of the product. Shademaker monitors every stage of

production to ensure a clean and consistent appearance on every part.

is therefore NOT considered a defect. Steel plate bases are designed to require

minimum maintenance. Bases should be kept clean. Do not let dirt build up on the

bases. Never leave bases standing in water. To keep your bases looking their best,

you may wish to store them when not in use for an extended period of time.
