These large structures are particularly popular for schools as they can cover very large areas such as playgrounds and eating areas, and are extremely strong in construction. The fabric top is fitted over a framed unit and tensioned with galvanized wire. These are also known as hip roof units.

Shade Sails


To create an aesthetically pleasing, weather protected outdoor area, shade sails are the perfect answer. You can choose from a large selection of colours to fit with the current scheme, and have a design that complements any area. This is when your creativity can really flair, or leave it to us and we’ll come up with a concept that will not only provide you with great cover, but also add something a little extra to your outdoor space.

Retractable Awnings


Don’t want to have a permanent shade? Retractable awnings are a fantastic alternative as you can choose when you want the area to be covered or not. Our awnings are either manual or motorized which can be fitted with a wind and/or sun sensor so it will be intelligent enough to know when to come out, or put itself away. Perfect for socializing area’s and keeping furniture or other items out of the harmful rays of the sun. We also have fixed awnings as another option to extend your outdoor space.

Drop Down Screens


Our drop down screens are the ideal solution for keeping the wind or rain out, but still letting plenty of light in. Many cafés and bars have decided that these are the best way to extend their seating areas for winter, giving patrons a place to be well protected, but also enjoying the outdoor scene. These can also have additional branding added for your business.

Giant Umbrellas


Giant 4m, 5m & 6m NZ made cantilevered umbrellas that rotate 360 degrees! The framework is made of high grade steel which is galvanised and powder coated. The fabric top is made of acrylic canvas that will protect you from the sun and the rain with several colours to choose from. The unit winds up and down with absolutely no fuss. We can also supply a lockable security cabinet to keep out those annoying vandals.

Sandpit Covers


Keep unwanted guests out and your sandpit clean by installing a sandpit cover. These are measured to fit exactly over the sandpit so that animals such as dogs and cats can’t get in and use it as a litter box. Perfect for kindergartens and play centers, or even at home.
