The Benefits of Sunsmart

The sunsmart benefits in using shade are endless:

• Allow your children to enjoy their play time in the shade
• Extended play hours for children under shade protected areas, which will add to a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere.
• With the ever-increasing risk of skin cancer due to the depletion of the ozone layer, caregivers are finding shade products the preferred choice of sun protection.
• As shade cloth is porous it allows the hot air to rise, thus creating a cool cushion underneath.
• "80% of sun damage occurs before age 18, and with the depletion of the ozone layer children are more at risk than ever. Shadeport products offer additional protection with High density knitted polyethylene shade cloth that offers up to 99% UV-B block-out.

Sand Pit Covers

Shadeport Australia manufactures easy to use sand pit covers. These covers can be a "throwover" type or elastic ropes and hooks. 

The “throwover” covers consist of a light chain weighted hem for holding the cover in place and can be equipped with a chain and padlock if required for security purposes.

All the covers are available in the full range of shade cloth (any colour in the range)

Permits

Not all councils have the same building regulations. You should check with your local council to ascertain their particular requirements for both Building and Planning permits.

Durable Powder Coated Structure

Framed Structures can be ordered in square, rectangular, triangular and hexagonal designs.  In addition to the standard size range, larger structures can be created by connecting multiple structures together.

All shade sails are custom made to the area that is required to be shaded. 

All of our structures and sails are engineer certified and manufactured from galvanised steel tubing which can be powder coated to the colour of your choice, for extra longevity.
