A Short History of the Shade Sail

"Both jobs were fully managed by the Shades System team from design, consenting to installation and lighting ... Everything about the finished structures was beyond our expectations and every aspect from safety, functionality and look were expertly addressed."

“Putting in NZ’s first and only crochet net by Japanese Artist Toshiko Horiuchi Macadam meant we were faced with a challenge on how to create an attractive and efficient shade system. Shade Systems ideas and flexibility, were just what we needed to make this an outstanding feature in our Urban landscape”

"We now have community coming in before school and teaching students basketball skills, strengthening our community ties. The covered in area is well utilised during the day and is used for a variety of learning contexts."
