Abstract

A shading assembly is configured to provide a shaded area to a user. The shading assembly has a three-point connector locking system with a lower bracket having a first cord opening, a second cord opening, and a pin opening. A first horizontal pole is fit inside the three-point connector pole having a first horizontal pole first section joined a first horizontal pole second section with a first horizontal pole bungee section. A vertical pole is fit inside the three-point connector and having a first vertical pole section joined to a second vertical pole section with a vertical pole bungee. A shade having a first shade pocket arranged around the first horizontal pole and a second shade pocket arranged around the second horizontal pole. Wind blows the shade away from the shade pocket creating a shaded area for the user.
