key features

  • Sun protection.  Harsh sunlight can be a significant concern for the safety and comfort of staff and facility users. Our polycarbonate or fiberglass canopies block up to 99% of harmful Ultraviolet rays, providing a cool, shaded environment. Available in various colors and styles, our canopies enhance the aesthetic appeal of your location while offering crucial sun protection.

  • Weatherproof Solutions. Rainy days can disrupt the flow between buildings and create hazards. Our Sola Gola® shade structures ensure dry, safe passage with waterproof coverings that effectively channel rainwater into your stormwater system. This prevents flooding and maintains clear, accessible walkways even during heavy downpours.

  • Visability. Maintaining visibility and safety is essential, especially during early mornings or late evenings. Our covered walkways allow natural light to filter through while blocking harmful UV rays. For night-time use, we can integrate a full lighting system with automatic sensors, ensuring well-lit paths only when needed.

  • Cover small to large sized areas.

  • A more affordable price.  We have a range of shade solutions, our team of shade specialists always take the budget into account and can accommodate all budgets, to provide great options.
