The aim of public shade
An effective shade structure is becoming increasingly important in public areas as awareness of sun-safety grows, and as the uses of public areas are evolving with technology and in response to a preference open space due to COVID-19.
The design of such a structure is therefore extremely important to achieve effective, functional, and visually appealing shade.
Design considerations for all shade projects…
There are a few considerations that are vital in the process of designing the perfect public shade. The most important of these, is the climactic conditions of the area. If you are looking to build in a coastal or alpine environment, design alterations will need to be made to protect the structure from elemental damage.
Another consideration is the existing plants and vegetation in the surrounding area as falling leaves and branches can potentially impact the design. Similarly, the existing soil type and its implications can affect the structural bearing capacity and drainage.

Testimonial: Gorokan Preschool, Gorokan, NSW – (Barrel vault shade sail over play equipment)
“Thanks so much for installing our shade above our nest swing. You have done an amazing job, lots of wonderful feedback.
My biggest concern regarding a shade was not to have any more poles installed into the playground softfall. This design is amazing.
Thanks again for a great job and thanks to Brock and Kyle for doing a fantastic job installing the shade.
Thanks from the Gorokan Preschool Team.”
