GIFT OF SHADE

The Shade Store's commitment to the environment is far-reaching, from our state-of-the-art U.S. workrooms to our custom products each individually crafted from the most eco-friendly, sustainable materials available. The Shade Store has teamed up with The Arbor Day Foundation on our Shades of Green Program to further our positive environmental impact. This year, a tree will be planted in one of our national forests for every order that's placed. We've committed to helping the foundation plant 25,000 trees this year.

As The Shade Store continues to grow, so do our eco-friendly initiatives. The Arbor Day Foundation is the perfect partner in our goal to give back. Thanks to our customers the world is a little greener today.
