Products and applicationsPlayground Shades Planned Around the Play Area
Playground shade should be positioned around the equipment and the way children move through the space. We design and install canopies and tensile shades for outdoor play areas, with support positions reviewed alongside the playground layout.
Send a site plan or photographs showing the whole area. Include the equipment layout and any required clearances supplied with it.
Request a Quotation ↗ Cover the areas used during the day
Tell us which parts of the playground need coverage and the hours when they are used. The shade layout needs to account for the area to be covered, available height and the location of supports.
Existing play equipment, perimeter access and supervision sightlines are part of the discussion. If the playground supplier has specified clearance zones, include these with your inquiry.
Match the covering to the brief
We offer HDPE, PVC-coated polyester, PTFE and PVDF-coated fabric options, with selection confirmed for the project. Colours, fabric grades and any documented performance requirements should be agreed before the order is finalized.
Steel finishes are selected to suit the specification and installation environment. We do not assign a standard fabric or frame specification without reviewing the design.
Arrange work around access to the playground
Let us know when the area can be closed for installation and who is responsible for any civil work. Foundations and excavation are decided per project. Where the play area is part of a school, share the preferred installation window and access procedure.
Replacing worn playground shade fabric
We also provide replacement fabric and repairs. Photographs of the existing roof, supports and damaged areas help us identify what needs further review.
We respond to inquiries within 24 hours and confirm the quotation and installation schedule after assessing the scope.
Questions before requesting a quotation
How do you plan shade around playground equipment?
Provide the equipment plan and areas used for play. Support positions and coverage are reviewed with circulation, equipment clearances and the facility’s safety requirements before the layout is agreed.
How are supports and supervision sightlines reviewed?
Identify entrances, supervision positions and routes through the play area. These guide the support layout; photographs help, but measurements and relevant equipment requirements may still need confirmation.
How is fabric selected for a play area?
Consider shade coverage, airflow, any rain requirement and the selected product’s performance documentation. Fabric, support design and tensioning must suit the area; do not assume fixed UV or fire properties from a generic fabric name.
Can damaged playground covering be replaced?
We can review suitable existing frames and coverings. Show damaged areas and the full support structure so we can identify whether fabric replacement, fixings or frame repairs need to be included.
