It began with an engineer’s frustration.

In 2012, founders Marty and Simon were un-satisfied with the complicated, multi-person canopy setups on the market. So they did what engineers do: they reinvented it.

Their goal was absolute simplicity—one person, one motion. Years of iteration led to the patented One-Push Central Locking System. No pins, no parts. Just push. It locks, and you’re done.

Every CROWN SHADES product is built around this ethos: eliminate complexity, return time. From backyards to beaches, we engineer shade that gets out of your way—so you can claim your space, and fully live the moment.

Because true innovation doesn’t just make a product. It dissolves the problem entirely.
