Some of the most frequently asked questions answered
It depends on the size of your area and what portion needs to be shaded at what times of the day. Get in touch with a shade expert now to learn more about a shade structure that suits your unique requirements.
Yes, our PVC and metal shade structures are 100% waterproof. Shade fabric sails, however, will only block out UV and will still let water through.
This depends on several factors including how well the shade structures are designed and engineered, where the shade structure is located geographically, the steel sizes, footings, and more. Contact our project consultants if you are unsure which structure type would suit your space.
Yes, PVC shade shelters block 100% UV Rays and Shade cloth blocks over 80% UV Rays. Natural shade from trees is patchy and takes a long time to establish. When choosing your cover, remember that PVC and metal roof structures provide the best protection.
It can depend on a number of factors, firstly the size of your space (half-court, single court, double court), then also access to your court and risks like high wind, cyclones etc. To get a price estimate for your shade structure, please use our price estimator tool.
The time duration for building a shade structure depends on the complexity of the structure, the size of your area, weather conditions, material choices and sometimes approval timeframes for council permits etc. On average, for small projects, installation can take 2-3 days, and for large projects, it may take 3-6 weeks.
The first decision to make is what protection you want (just sun or all-weather). After that you can work with a shade consultant to decide on fabric (shade fabric, PVC, Steel). Common types of structures you can choose are COLA, Barrel Vault, Sails, Stars, Cantilevers, and Conic. Click here to learn more about our shade structures.
