Frame shades

Framed Shades are a cost effective way of covering large areas and perfectly suited to school, child care and council playground areas along with other outdoor applications. With a design fully compliant with the Department of Education Facilities Design Standards, framed structures provide a sturdy shade solution for shading play areas, lunch areas and equipment in public schools.

Our frame shade structures are available in a wide range of sizes, heights, shapes and configurations as well as fabric options including fire retardant fabrics. Steel frames can be left hot dipped galvanised or powder coated to suit your needs. Optional anti vandal cones can be installed at the top of columns to reduce the likelihood of climbing onto the shade.
