Abstract
A system for providing shade onto a surface is described herein. The system includes a canopy configured for engagement with, and aerial suspension by, a frame. The frame includes a plurality of sections configured for end-to-end alignment from a left end to a right end of the frame. Each section is configured to engage with any adjacent sections to form the frame. The ends of the frame are secured to the surface, thereby aerially suspending the canopy and providing shade to the surface.

A system for providing shade onto a surface, the system comprising:
- a frame engageable with the surface, the frame comprising a plurality of longitudinally-extending sections arrangeable so that they are non-coextensive relative to one another in a supporting configuration;
- and
- a sheet of material extending between a suspension end and an opposing trailing end, the suspension end of the sheet of material being coupleable with the frame about a portion of the frame,
- wherein, in the supporting configuration, a first longitudinally-extending section is engaged with the surface and a second, non-coextensive longitudinally-extending section is engaged with the first longitudinally-extending section so that the second, non-coextensive longitudinally-extending section is arranged at a nonzero angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the first longitudinally-extending section, and
- wherein, in the supporting configuration, the suspension end of the sheet of material is coupleable to the second, non-coextensive longitudinally-extending section.
