2. longevity.
Every canopy we build is designed with Structural Engineering of a 50-year design life. It is possible, and other suppliers in the market may build to 25-year life specifications – We are not interested in cutting costs through reduced steel sizes and design by this method.
Your investment will last for generations.
3. inventory.
Shade Systems are committed to carrying a very large stock of steel, fabric and components. This means we have materials on hand ready to start production as soon as the planning is done. We hold over 3 million dollars of raw materials!
Your project will not be held up due to shipping or supply issues.
4. NZ fabrication.
Shade Systems NZ Ltd manufactures all structures right here in NZ. We have a purpose-built fabric workshop with cutting-edge machinery, in fact, our newest robot-type walking high-frequency PVC fabric welder is the only one in Australasia!

We own and operate modern, certified crane trucks, 6-wheeler transport and custom trailers made specifically for shade and canopy installation.
