Structures
Structures are available in hip roof style, which is purchased in kit form from a reputable Australian manufacturer. We also build coverings for existing structures. Additionally, we can assist you or your engineer to custom-make and install the fabric sections for your own project.
Umbrellas
Umbrellas are available to purchase through a catalogue—available in a range of colours in both cantilever and centre post styles. Our tradesmen are also able to re-skin your existing umbrella frame. We offer powder coated aluminium frames and posts, stainless steel fittings and acrylic canvas or shade cloth fabrics for all restorations.
FITTINGS & EDGING
Fittings & Edging play a vital part in any shade product. For most applications we use quality 316 marine-grade stainless steel in turn buckles, shackles and wire rope. Using stainless steel provides an aesthetically pleasing and non-corrosive finish, which complement all buildings. We also use galvanised fittings and nylon ropes for budget-conscious projects.
We offer two types of edging on shades. Benefit from a lighter, easier installation and cost-effective option with a 50mm seat belt webbing edge. Whereas stainless steel wire edging produces a smaller scallop, allowing more shade and a higher centre tension, to eliminate the bellying effect seen in flat sails.
FABRICS
Cloth fabrics offer a different shade protection percentage depending on their colour. Generally, the darker cloths having the higher protection. Sails can not only be produced from shade cloth fabrics, but also a waterproof shade cloth and vinyl—providing the fall of the sail is of an adequate angle.
Choosing the right colour fabric for your sail should always reflect on not only matching the surrounding building colours, but also the shade protection percentage required, and the chance of animal/tree mess that may occur. Using a darker fabric will give the illusion of a cleaner shade, whereas the lighter fabrics will allow a greater light exposure to the area.
All of our products are stitched with quality UV treated polyester threads, which are available in a wide range of colours to suit any fabric.
