Get in Touch
Are your shades really built for Australian conditions?
Absolutely. All of our structures are made from Australian materials and are engineered to withstand high UV exposure, strong winds, and seasonal extremes. We custom-build to site and compliance standards – no off-the-shelf shortcuts.
What experience do you have in the shade industry?
Our team brings together over 130 years of combined experience in the shade, recreation, and open space industry. We’ve seen it all – and built it all – from school shade sails to large-scale council infrastructure.
Do you only make shades for playgrounds?
Not at all. While we’re proudly the only SA based shade company partnered with a playground distributor, we also design and build shade solutions for all outdoor areas, large or small. From parks, picnic areas, sporting venues, offices, pubs, caravan parks, and more. See our Clients page for more info.
Do you handle the full project or just installation?
We offer a full service from initial concept, through engineering and compliance, installation and post install checks. Everything is handled by our expert in-house staff. No subcontractors just a highly experienced team ensuring consistent quality from start to finish.
Where do you operate?
We’re based in Salisbury South Australia with additional representation in the Northern Territory. We regularly work in metro and regional areas, and we never say no because of distance. If you need shade, we’ll get there.
Do I need council approval for a shade structure?
Depending on your project, yes – but we’ll manage the entire approval process for you. Our team knows the ins and outs of council compliance and will ensure all permits, engineering certifications, and site requirements are covered.
