The Bulverde-Spring Branch Library stands high above the intersection of Hwy 281 and TX 46.  Originally completed in 2008 (FA Nunnelly, contractors and RVK + Whistler, architects), the library offers its patrons a large patio overlooking a beautiful hill county vista.  In 2013, the Friends of Bulverde-Spring Branch Library raised funds for the addition of custom shade structures to extend the patio's use through the summer heat.  The structures were fabricated and installed by The Chism Co. using a steel frame and Ferrari  Soltis structural fabric.

Sea Island Shrimp House at 410 and Bandera Rd. added shade sails to their recent renovation (MDN Architects and HMC, construction) during the summer of 2013.  The always popular restaurant has a front waiting patio facing the expressway.  The 4 colorful sails made by Chism Company from Polytex FR mesh provide shade to customers and serve as an identifying feature from the road.  Visit our friends at 5959 NW Loop 410  and grab some fresh seafood and a cold drink under the shade!

Near the South Texas Medical Center, Flournoy Construction and International Design is completing Arden Park, its latest luxury apartment complex.  Amenities for residents include a central courtyard pool with fabric cabanas manufactured and installed by The Chism Company.  The cabanas are made from custom-welded aluminum frames and Sunbrella woven acrylic fabric.  Sliding curtains add privacy and extra shade when desired.  These 10'x10' cabanas can be manufactured and shipped regionally and nationally.

Aldaco's Mexican Cuisine at 20079 Stone Oak Pkwy boasts a large and lovely patio atop one of the highest points in San Antonio.  Shade sails added this summer make it a relaxing spot from early afternoon to late at night.  The Chism Company designed and manufactured the shade sails using MPanel pattering software and Coolaroo flame retardant shade cloth.  Escape to Aldaco's for an early happy hour and enjoy a margarita overlooking northern San Antonio.
