This innovative system features opposing sets of architectural-grade PVC mesh shade panels, supported by a cable grid that spans freely across the width of a pool, allowing for large spans to be covered with minimal visible structural elements above. Operated via a master control panel or remote hand control, each Velarium shade section is independently powered by its own motor, giving the operator the flexibility to open or close individual panels as needed. This versatile design allows for panels to be adjusted to nearly any position between fully open and fully closed, putting control over the amount of shade directly into the hands of the user
