Shade

Shelter without
construction.

A shade structure does more than block the sun — it defines the space beneath it. The TFM shade range is built around that idea: pergolas, gazebos and canopy systems that create architectural presence without anchors, permits or permanent installation. Structures that arrive flat, assemble by hand and hold their ground in real weather.

Installation

No Anchors Required

Every shade structure is freestanding by design. No concrete, no ground anchors, no permits — deployed and reconfigured without disrupting the site.

Assembly

Tool-Free

Hardware-free joinery throughout. Every structure assembles and disassembles by hand — no specialized crew, no equipment, no hidden labor costs.

Material

Built for the Outdoors

FSC-certified solid timber with galvanized steel roof elements where specified. Engineered for harsh climates — salt air, high winds, full sun — without corrosion or decay.

The shelter

"A space within a space."

Shade does more than block the sun. It defines a place. It tells the people beneath it — you are here, you are held, this space was made for you. A TFM shade structure creates that boundary without walls, that intimacy without enclosure. Solid wood overhead changes how a space feels at a level that no umbrella or awning ever reaches.

Your guests deserve shade as architectural as everything else you've built. We create that.
