Who We Are

Diamond Canopies East Africa Ltd is a leading Kenyan-owned manufacturer and installer of premium outdoor shade solutions. Since our founding in 2015, we have proudly served clients across Kenya and the wider East African region with innovative, durable, and aesthetically appealing shade structures. Our mission is to enhance outdoor living, working, and leisure environments by providing structures that protect from the sun, rain, and harsh weather while adding architectural beauty and value to every space.

Our team combines structural engineering expertise with modern design, offering complete project management — from consultation and design to installation and after-sales support. Whether working with homeowners, commercial businesses, schools, or government institutions, we uphold the highest standards of quality, safety, and client satisfaction.

What We Offer

At Diamond Canopies East Africa Ltd, we supply a comprehensive portfolio of outdoor solutions tailored to different customer needs and budgets. Our offerings include:

• Car Parking Shades
  Protect your vehicles from harsh sunlight, UV rays, rain, hail, and bird droppings with our range of car parking shade structures. Options include cantilever, pyramid, arch, curved, and flat-roof designs, fabricated with powder-coated steel frames and UV-stabilized fabrics.

• Shade Sails/shade sails Kenya/waterproof shade nets

• 
  We manufacture custom shade sails in a variety of shapes — triangles, rectangles, or bespoke free-form — to provide stylish, lightweight shade. Available in waterproof (100% or 90%) and breathable HDPE fabrics, these sails block up to 98% of UV rays and reduce heat build-up by around 25%, making them ideal for playgrounds, pools, patios, restaurants, and commercial courtyards.

• Privacy & Clear-View Fences/waterproof shade nets

• 
  Offering safety and style, our fencing systems include privacy shades, clear-view fencing, and razor-wire-enhanced barriers for added security. They are engineered for long life with rust-proof coatings and professional installation to withstand Kenya’s climate.

• Pergolas, Gazebos & Tents
  We design and build pergolas and gazebos from wood, steel, or aluminium, including adjustable louvre systems, polycarbonate roofing, or tensile fabric covers. These structures are perfect for relaxing outdoor living spaces, hospitality venues, and events.

• Tensile Structures & Custom Gates/outdoor canopies

• 
  For modern architecture lovers, we offer tensile membrane structures with clean, sculptural profiles, as well as steel or aluminium gates custom-built for residential and commercial applications.
