ABOUT US

NEW RELEASES

20 years ago we wanted a better shade solution for our own deck. We made some home-made solutions which over the years became the Deckhands™ clamp system. 

There are other designs in the works. Keep coming back for updates !

* - 304 stainless steel may rust in the presence of salt or harsh chemicals like chlorine. Select the 316 models for these locations.

** - If used as directed. Avoid high winds, completely remove umbrellas/accessories in extreme winds/weather or seasonally. Never have sideways loads such as ropes under tension, or heavy off-center accessories.
