High quality PVC shade has incredible advantages over fabric shade …
Installing high-quality shade in children’s play areas has huge structural advantages and is vital to provide locals and visitors with attractive, safe, and waterproof areas for children to play for hours. It is now well-known that PVC shade structures last for decades and provide far superior shade than fabric.
Negate The Danger of The Sun…
Protecting our children from harmful UV is just as important as getting them outside and playing. Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer worldwide with almost all cases caused by overexposure to UV (ultraviolet light). Furthermore, it was found that high sun exposure in the first 10 years of life more than doubles the risk of developing melanoma skin cancer later in life.
Best Shade, to be sun safe and cool…
A shade structure comes with many benefits. They provide protection from the sun and harmful UV, as well as regulating temperatures in hot weather. Additionally metal park-installations such as slides, swings, and climbing structures must be covered by shade to prevent burns on sensitive hands and skin.
An added benefit of a Shade to Order PVC shade structures is that they can provide protection from all weather conditions like rain, hail, and snow.
Case study: Wirraway Park Polyedge Shade Structure
Located slightly inland in Thornton, Wirraway Park experiences extreme hot and dry weather. One of our engineered tension membrane structures was required and will endure all forms of weather as well as last decades. No compromise should be taken with shade structures, especially when there are children playing underneath.
The shade sail’s three-dimensional design and steel columns have provided local families with outstanding protection from the elements. This structure has been architecturally designed in conjunction with sun and shade studies to allow for superior shade and weather protection. Shade To Order have worked closely with the playground designers to ensure an aesthetically pleasing end result.
