Custom Shade for Junction 9 Yoga Studio, Calgary

Junction 9 Yoga Studio is an upscale health and fitness facility located in the vibrant neighborhood of Inglewood, Calgary. Known for its premium offerings, the studio provides Yoga, Pilates, and a variety of wellness and fitness classes—both indoors and on its stunning rooftop overlooking the Calgary skyline.

The Challenge: Rooftop Shade Without Footings

The team at Junction 9 wanted to continue offering outdoor classes while ensuring a safe, shaded environment for their clients. However, several key challenges needed to be addressed:

  • The rooftop location made it difficult to install deep or extensive footings.

  • Space was limited and could not be compromised with bulky structural elements.

  • The solution had to blend functionality with the upscale aesthetic of the studio.

Our Solution: Innovative Engineering Meets Design

Shade Sails Canada engineered a custom shade sail system specifically for Junction 9 Yoga Studio:

  • Guy Wire Support System: To overcome the lack of traditional footings, a tensioned guy wire system was implemented to handle the tensile loads.

  • Custom Knee Posts: Designed to minimize the footprint, these posts maximized shade coverage while fitting the unique spatial constraints of the rooftop.

The final result is a sleek, safe, and functional installation that allows the studio to operate its rooftop classes in comfort—rain or shine.
