Abstract: A demountable wind-resistant sun shade canopy for shading children's play areas or other actively used areas having a first perimeter. the canopy cover, being removably secured over a metal support structure, is comprised of vertical columns upon which are mounted at the upper end thereof, respectively, uniquely configured bracket fittings, each bracket fitting providing secure mounting for a cantilever beam extending outwardly toward a second perimeter of the area to be shaded, and providing a secure mounting for a hip beam extending upward and toward the inner portion of the area to be shaded. The canopy forms a second perimeter which extends beyond the perimeter of the first perimeter, of the play area, to extend the shade cover the play area.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a fitting that is used in a support structure wherein beams support a shade canopy over a playground for children. The fitting may be inserted at its lower end into vertical support columns rigidly supported in the ground. The fitting includes a connector plate that is welded to an upper end of the fitting but an angle which is determinative of the angle of the roof of the canopy. There is a counter plate attached to a saddle pipe. When the connector plate and the counter plate are attached to each other to thereby form the fitting, a correct pitch and rigidity of the support structure to support the canopy on the support structure.
