Building A Company Around The American Dream.


Shade Shields started as an idea, a simple thought. “I can build something better.”


From the seed of an idea to the initial product, Shade Shields have been, and will continue to be made here in America.  


Most companies outsource for inexpensive labor and materials, but we are dedicated to showcasing the quality and craftsmanship you can only find here in the states.


Strengthening Our Communities And Environment


We are building a company that derives its strength from strengthening our #communities.  From the outset, we have been committed to ensuring that our operations remain here at home.  This allows for jobs to stay domestic and allows for our company to feed funds back into our own economy.


Shade Shields vision is to give back to the community through investment in community and community spaces.  We as a company donate our time and money to investing in one of our nation's greatest resources, the outdoors.  From beach cleans to building nature trails, we are dedicated to stewardship of our natural resources.


American Made Quality and Craftsmanship


At Shade Shields, we think that “American Made” should mean something.  To us, it means sustainable products that are sourced and created here at home.  We have select US-based vendors who create the raw materials we use in every pair of Shade Shields we make.  Once we have the materials we craft and build our products at our local factory.  


From cradle to grave Shade Shields are #AmericanMade.  This means that not only do we invest our capital back into the economy through labor, but also through the materials we use.  This also helps us to ensure that we are supporting sustainable and environmentally responsible companies.


The Bottom Line

  • Investment In Communities Through American-Based Factories
  • Volunteer Time And Capital To Enhance Outdoor Social Spaces
  • American Made From Raw Materials To The Final Product
  • Sustainable and environmentally Friendly Logistics Pipelines

We are proud of the people and communities we have here in the US.  That’s why we think it’s important to invest our success back into the communities so we can all prosper.  When you buy one of our products you’re helping a mother to pay for enrolling her children in soccer, helping a tanner to fight the pressure of mega-corp competition, or helping to fund an educational camping trip for underprivileged kids.


We are building our product around our community and doing our part to contribute.  We think it's important to leave the world a little better off than it was when we got here.
