Perfect shade solutions

SHADEPORT is a recognised leader in the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of shade sails for education.

Embracing the Sun Smart philosophy, Shadeport provides schools with shade scenarios that protect students and teachers using the outdoor space from harmful UV exposure.

Not only does commercial quality shade cloth provide up to 99 per cent UV protection and a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty, it also increases the lifespan of any outdoor furniture and play equipment it covers.

Shade sails are a cost- effective sun protection method and greatly increase student and teacher participation and use of playgrounds, sports courts and outdoor areas, particularly in summer as the equipment is cooler and more accessible.

Frame structures are the perfect solution for shading playgrounds with tall objects in the centre, and can be designed to suit any height or size with minimal posts.

Cantilever structures are a great option for pools, carparks and seating areas where posts in front of the structure are not possible or would hinder traffic or a view.

These structures are aesthetically pleasing and extremely versatile, designed to bend around corners or climb over different levels, and can even be used for outdoor amphitheatres and stages to provide acoustic advantages.

Shadeport also offers maintenance and audit programs due to the requirement from Work Safe that the Victorian Education Department, and Early Childhood Development, have all flexible shade systems in schools audited by a reputable shade company at least once a year, and every three years a safety audit must be completed by a structural engineer.

Whether a school is looking at relocating existing shade protection, the removal and reinstallation of playground equipment, basketball rings, seating and landscaping, the team at Shadeport are eager and willing to assist all projects.
