Outdoor shading systems help make terraces, gardens, school grounds and shared spaces more usable. Selecting a solution starts with the purpose of the space and whether the installation is intended to be permanent or temporary.
Applications & options
- Outdoor seating and terraces
- School grounds and gathering areas
- Garden and poolside shade
- Tent and covered-space requirements assessed individually
Different spaces need different systems
A small seating area and a large gathering space have different access, support and coverage requirements. The project brief should identify occupancy, operating times, required clear spans and weather protection. An enclosed tent also needs its ventilation, access and building-service requirements considered within the overall project.
Planning your project
Share dimensions, site photographs, required coverage and the project location with Shades Systems. Their team can review the appropriate design and quotation scope.
Frequently asked questions
What information helps select a shading solution?
Provide the site layout, dimensions, photographs, intended use and required level of cover. Identify whether the structure is permanent and describe any existing foundations or supports.
Can a shade system be expanded later?
Future expansion should be discussed at the design stage. Its feasibility depends on the original structure, foundations and the proposed additional coverage.
