Cell System Overview
Cell count: 2 cells
Configuration: 1 × 2 with elbow
Cell size: 17 ft × 17 ft
The 2-Cell Elbow Shade is a compact, highly adaptable shade structure built from two cells joined by an angled transition called an elbow. The elbow is created using a triangular half-cell with a 9 ft base, allowing the canopy to bend and redirect coverage while staying fully integrated within the cell system.
This structure is one of our most requested small-format builds. It works especially well for beer gardens, audience shade opposite a performance stage, walkway coverage, and secondary gathering zones where a straight run would not fit the site.
Width: 17 ft
Length: 34 ft (two cells) + 9 ft elbow
Overall canopy dimensions: 17 ft × 43 ft
Kickers extend 8 ft outward around the perimeter, increasing the total site requirement by 16 ft in each direction.
Overall footprint: 33 ft × 59 ft
Three-color canopy configuration
Available in red spectrum and blue spectrum palettes
Angled elbow creates visual movement and improved crowd flow
Open perimeter maintains airflow and visibility
Beer gardens
Audience shade opposite stages
Lounge and seating areas
Connector shade between larger structures
The 2-Cell Elbow Shade demonstrates how the cell system can bend, adapt, and respond to real-world site conditions while remaining structurally clear and visually striking.
